BMV update firmware 4.00/4.01 cleared the history

Hello,

the last update of the BMV-712 smart (to 4.00 /4.01) completely clear the history data.

There was no chance to backup data before updating.

Victron Energy: Do you think that this type of monitor is useful to a professional work or it is just a toy for fun? How can I know the number of charge cycles of the battery now ??? I am very disappointed ...

Hi @Sea_Otter; yes there was quite a bad bug in the pre-last bmv firmware update, v3.09. My apologies for that.


Updating to that firmware firmware caused settings and history data to be lost. The bug was later solved in v3.10.

Hi. We just updated to 4.03 (latest version) and had the exact same problem. We now have no history of charging cycles, etc.
