I know one can configure the charge current for the Multiplus II using Victron Connect but what I want to do is make the same changes to charge current from the Ekrano touch panel directly. In a similar way that the max current setting for AC1 input can be configured.
@ejrossouw
Thanks but my understanding is that setting is for a “A configurable system-wide charge current limit…”.
I need to limit JUST the Multiplus II charger so as to limit the draw on AC from time to time.
Yes, that is the point of my post!
To be able to change the charge current limit from the GX device - Ekrano in my case.
At the moment I have to disconnect/shutdown the Ekrano then connect a Victron Connect app capable device (laptop in my case) and make the charge current limit change then restart the Ekrano. As opposed to the user friendly way of changing the AC input limit current in the Ekrano.
The point of my post here is requesting an easier way to change charge current using the Ekrano and hope the Victron engineers get the opportunity to add the feature.
Yes, limiting the AC input works for some scenarios but that requires me to be attentive to what the system is doing.
The “system” is an offgrid EV charger (48V 350Ah + 3kW PV) that takes “grid” AC from another solar PV system (48V 440Ah + 27kW PV) So I would like the independence of adjusting AC input and DC charge currents. Such that I may elect to have a large AC draw from the solar PV (due to good solar) but not necessarily commit to a large DC charge current after the EV charge has completed for a particular day. This is particularly important in winter.
Once again thanks for the replies and I’ll leave my request as asked.
