Victron Multiplus II AC charge control

Hi all,

I would like to use a multiplus 2 as a charger (without PV). I would like to charge the battery from the grid (AC-in). When the battery is full, it should supply all connected AC loads up to a SoC e.g. 20 percent. The battery should then be charged again via AC-in.

Can I achieve this with ESS or do I need additional logic (e.g. Node-Red or similar)?

ESS will probably do what you want as you can set a minimum SoC for discharge. The ability to set 5 scheduled charging periods is also useful if you want to re-charge at specific times of day, and it can also be used to prevent discharge if you don't want it.
