How to configure time to go?

Hi,

Have Venus GX, mppt 150/100, multiplus 48/5000, time to go always showing as 0.00 value.
what is the time to go feature, when does it show up on the dashboard and where do you configure it?

Cannot get it to show value other than zero.


have latest firmware installed on all devices.

Thanks

As far as I know this feature only works if you have a Victron BMV or SmartShunt in your system.

New to Victron equipment, thanks for the info. I have noticed there is a lot of duplication in their equipment and its unclear to what you need to obtain certain functionality.

Multiplus Inverter/Charger can be used as a Battery Monitor, it collects all the same information as the Smart Shunt, and yet it cannot provide or use that information to calculate "Time to Go" in VRM software????


I should not have to install a Smart Shunt as well to get "Time to Go" calculations when Victron can calculate it using the equipment I already have installed.


I have a MPPT 150/100, Multiplus 48V/5000/70, Venus GX, surely that is enough to be able to calculate "Time To Go"????
Correct me if I am wrong?

Hi @SebastianLehmann - If you could post you shunt battery configuration from VictronConnect that would be helpful.

No need to shout, or double post.

If you look at the last post from @Kevin Windrem in the other thread, it's got what you need, I'd just add that time to go is only shown when there's a load on the batteries and no AC or other charging.

Might be better if you create a new question stating the problem and what equipment is installed.
