What is ESS#1, ESS#2?

I have a hybrid system using ESS with a CCGX. After the update of the inverter, the CCGX started to show"ESS#1#2". What does this mean?

@WKirby thank you for the list. According to it, #1 : SOC is low and #2 : BatteryLife is active. For my system i set a SOCmin = 85%. Now while SOC=96%, the CCGX shows #1 although the battery is not low. So..

What type and size of battery do you have?
What are your "DC-low" configurations on the "Inverter" tab in VE.Configure?
Also what are your dynamic cutoff Voltage settings in the ESS assistant?

1) What type and size of battery do you have? 4 Gel batteries /200Ah-12 V. We have 2 series and 2 parallels which give a capacity of 400 Ah

2) What are your "DC-low" configurations on the "Inverter" tab in VE.Configure?

3) Also what are your dynamic cutoff Voltage settings in the ESS assistant?

Hello. Sorry, I lost track of this.
Those settings all look good to me.

Another thing, when you said that you updated the inverter, you did a firmware update right? What version, and also did you update the Assistant? Right click to update and see Assistant ID, now it is 0171.

if I turn off "Battery Life" the indication disappears as you now have it.
so possibly it was first on "without BatteryLife" and now it is on "with BatteryLife"?
