Tried to change battery type. Victron connect said “must update firmware to make changes”. Errors

Is there actual tech support for Victron.?I drove 40 mile to install new batteries and need to change chemistry. Now I get errors.

I got it working again, but it fails to change battery types without the same error message. And then I have to repeat the process and go to factory default. Very frustrating!

And... did you manage to update the firmware in the Mppt?

Firmware v1.56 is the latest. (for most)

I’ll go back today and check, but, I believe it did update.

I was able to get it to switch to lithium. It would not switch to GC (golf cart?)


Thanks!

"GC" or "GC2" is a form factor, not a battery chemistry, so there is no preset for GC2 batteries.

Then, why is it in the menu for the battery type?
