EasySolar 48/5000-70

Good Day, I have as above an EasySolar 48/5000/70 unit. Connected to 6 x 48v 215Ah Battery Banks. I changed the Charging Settings on VE.Config to 70 Amps and Clicked on the Weak AC box. I still only get 50Amp charging to batteries. Why would this be? My batteries are at 82% SOC and when I start the Generator Set, Unit that provides 24KW it remains at 50 Amp charge....


Please Help.....

Hi @JP Vermeulen

This is normal. In fact with the same Easy box the best I can get is ~36A of charge.

It's described briefly here: https://www.victronenergy.com/live/multiplus_faq See section 3.1

There may be more to it than that though, as I can increase the generator load if I add an external load to the Easy, and the charge load stays much the same. Maybe the charger doesn't like it?

If you don't need that Weak AC setting, then untick it.
