When my Victron Multiplus 2 5000 GX has reached the soc and doesn’t have to charge or to discharge it doesn’t remain idle but switches from charging to discharging again and again when the inductive stove is on, but also on other power changes.
Why is the multiplus not just keeping idle untill dess decides to charge or uncharge?
And can this behavior be changed?
See behavior in the video below…
What is your setting for Settings → ESS → Peak-Shaving?
Set this to “above minimum soc only”, then, while beeing in ESS #1, Peak Shaving should be disabled and therefore the battery stay at 0W load.
I had it set to always and now changed it to above minimum soc only.
And when at minimum soc this behavior is gone, but as soon as I lower the minium soc below the actual soc the behavior is back.
Sure, because that’s what Peak Shaving is supposed to do - shave consumption peaks by switching to discharge whenever a Peak occurs.
And especially (old) stoves or cooking plates don’t have a smooth behaviour. They regulate temperature by bouncing between 0 and 2000 watts every few seconds.
But don’t worry, that’s what batteries are designed to do. It doesn’t “hurt” them.
I understand, but I would prefer an option to disable it as it is unnecessary in our home and also adds up to losses.
