@Melonentier

You can set it using ve config on the inverter tab. Check shutdown on low SOC and set your percentage there. You will need to enable battery monitor on the general tab first.

Thanks for you answer.

I activated the battery monitor at the general tap and entered the capacity.

At the inverter tap i can only find

DC imput loq shutdown 37.20volt

Dc imput low restart 43.6volt

Dc imput low pre alarm 43.6volt


Im searching for the settings at % of battery depth of discharge.

I thought that when you use the ESS assistant it ignores the inverter tab shutdown values.

It is not recommended to use ESS in an offgrid setup.

@Melonentier you may need to update ve config then, this is the version i am running.

I updated the firmare of the multiplus via mk3 and victronconnect to 470. After this the setting popped up to edit. The update resets all the settings make sure to save it first.
