I’m using a Victron Orion dc-dc 50 to charge my AGM start from my lithium house. Plugging in everything seemed to work fine. The Orion and the BMV showed the start charging at 14.6 (what I had programmed it to).Today I created a Wi-Fi network for the Orion, two mppt controllers and the Victron 714 bmv. The boat is still on the hard. I commissioned the water tanks and ran the engine. When finished I was still plugged in and noticed the battery monitor was reading 16v to my start. Not sure if anyone has seen this. After rereading manuals I googled it. It brought me to the Victron community forum. Seems this happens when the Orion is connected to a Cerbo GX and DVCC is enabled. I am not connected to a Cerbo GX yet it is happening. Anyone have a similar experience? I will try disconnecting it from the Wi-Fi to see if this corrects the output.
Is your BMV on the lithium battery. In a Smart Network, the Orion will read the BMV voltage as the output voltage and boost the charge to get to the target voltage, which of course it can not achieve. Your Orion is the opposite way around, so you can not connect it to the Smart Network, because the Smart Network is for charging the lithiums.
So disconnect the Orion or the BMV from the network?
Thank you for answering
Reread I’ll disconnect the Orion from the network
