Pylontech / Victron - extra us5000 added

Good moring all

Quick question on the vrm / remote console. I have just added a 2nd US5000 battery to my 48/3000 Multiplus 2

Is it correct the battery still shows as 1 module in the system or should it show as 2 modules and report readings such as the temp for 2 batteries or is the temperture now the average temp etc. of both units?

Thanks

Simon

@Simon Jukes

In the VRM is it show as one battery. As it is one bank. You can tell how many are connected by the charge current limit and DCL. And under parameters in the console.

In the console under Pylontec details you should see how many modules are online.

[These are for UP5000, so not the same modules as @Simon Jukes -principles still apply]

Did you follow the manual that came with the battery?

The 5000 should be master.

Hi Nick

Thanks for your reply

Yes, followed the manual, however, both batteries are 5000's. i have also made the newest battery the master incase it came with a later firmware installed

Both batteries were evenly charged up 100% individually before connecting together and left for 30 mins once conected before turning the inverter back on

Hi all

Not sure why, but following a complete shutdown of the system, no wiring or configuration changes, the 2nd module is now showing in the system

Thanks for any replies to my question
