EcoFlow Victron Load Settings?

[Neuromancer11]

Hi all, what settings are people using with their EcoFlow or other battery packs for the load side of the victron? I managed to flatten my leisure batteries over night, this is the first time I’ve used the solar setup to charge the ecoflow, I was expecting to it to start charging when the sun came up this morning not draining leisure batteries overnight.

I'm using one of the user defined settings from memory? I think it's set to turn the load off if the battery drops below 12.5v?

Yeah I tryed that too, I even changed the voltage to 13v on the low setting, and dispite the battery being at 12.4v it still fully charges on the load side

TBH I've only ever checked once at night and it had turned the load off, perhaps I've just been lucky. Looking at the app now it says something about changing a jumper too? Not sure if it means the yellow one on the bottom panel? I have the 75/15 controller btw.

@Neuromancer did you ever sort this out, i am seeing a similar thing. tried both user defined and conv algo 1 and found the leisure batteries dumping into the ecoflow...

 

[Neuromancer11]

@Dizzy no i didn't, i suspect a faulty Victron, @Roger tested another unit he had and it worked as expected, he did offer to test mine for me, I've just been so busy I've not had chance to send it down to him yet.... I'm currently in the states but it will be my first priority when i get back as i have some off grid trips coming up soon

So after some playing around i think i am satisfied it works and does shut off the flow to the load. Although i am a bit puzzled by when it does it. TBH was a bit paranoid about draining the leisure batteries.

I had the user defined algorithm 1 set, with off < 12.7V and on > 13.01V.

To try it out we "went out for a cup of tea" took our 900w kettle and brewed up , that used 9% of the delta 3 (although i did fill the kettle when there was no need). The ecoflow immediately demanded power and the controller delivered it. The panels were doing about 120W, although when i got a photo it was 69W.



What i dont understand is why the controller didnt switch off the load given vBatt was showing 11.98, was it because of the incoming solar ?

either way it did switch off see below. and didnt take long to fill the ecoflow about 30 mins, By the time we got home the leisure batteries were in float.



Hopefully someone can explain ! But still well pleased with the Delta 3, the missus can have hot water without using gas and we now have the option to use our low power twin induction hob.
