Why is Victron not using the Charge battery

Hi everyone, why is the system not using my 100% loaded battery to cover the AC Loads?

Any hints are welcomed

Far to little information to work with. What are your ESS settings? Keep batteries charged? Has this changed recently or is this a new install? Also,where is your gridmeter located and do you use ACOUT for loads?

Yes I know one picture does not describe it all.

But I think also I have found my issue. Was the Virtual Switch that was giving priority to Grid. Now I have switched to Dedicated ignore AC , with some parameters (battery dependent) when to not ignore AC (as in when solar is not there and battery is low).

To answer with details to your questions

- ESS: is not there, disabled. No assistant available

- This is a complete fresh new install

- I have no gridmeter

- I have Loads direct on ACOUT 1 as I use a Multiplus II - 48/5000/70

I found the Virtual Switch minimal documented and this gave some frustration. But I think / hope I have this solved for now
