MPPT CHARGER CONTROLLER VE.CAN setup Blue nova Life pro Battery


Off grid system with generator back up .


I Have upgraded the System Batteries to Blue nova BN52 12k Life Pro Bat.

The challenge I have is that the Blue Solar Charger MPPT 150/85 Is (ve Can).

IN the Blue nova the Manual it is Stated

"VE.Can MPPT Solar Chargers cannot be used: they do not yet support the new control mechanisms. Lynx Ion + Shunt: v2.04 Lynx BMS: v1.09".

Must the MPPT be Replaced for a DVCC setup. ?

If the DVCC setup is disabled , The SOC as on the battery monitor on battery, does not display on the CCGX.

Blue Solar Charger MPPT 150/85 (ve Can)

The FW of your Multi is very old (02.2015).
The latest FW is 481 released a few days ago.

What MPPT do you have exactly? The old with aluminum case (looks like a mini MultiPlus) or the newer one?

The old MPPT is EOL and the last FW is 2.05 (from 10.2017).

The MPPT looks like the mini Multi 150/85 (VE-CAN)

I Will up grade firm ware

Firmware 2.04

Is It Recommended for the MPPT be Replaced for a DVCC setup?

The system has no utility connection only generator back up and is nearly 200 km from my home town.

Will the battery BMS , adjust current and voltage regulation as needed, until a can get to site,
