SmartShunt SOC reporting to Inverter?

Q&A and troubleshooting

Hi folks;

I have a MultiPlus 2x120, a Cerbo, and a Smart Shunt.

I noticed that the MultiPlus never reports the SOC - it always reports it as - -% My guess is that something needs to tell it the SOC…

I have a SmartShunt that does know the SOC and reports it. I implemented DVCC so that the shunt can share the battery temp on the VE Bus and noticed that it also then shares current, which seems smart to me. My understanding of DVCC is that when those variables are shared on the bus other Victron items can make use of them.

This leads me to a probably dumb question, but if DVCC exposes those variables on the bus, why doesn’t it also share the SOC variable on the bus so that the Multiplus can make use of it?

Or am I totally off base?

Hi, just checking if you configured the shunt as the battery monitor in the GX system setup, and in DVCC, if that is in use?

Yes to both :slight_smile:

Is the inverter battery monitor enabled and set up? If it isn’t that thats whybit doesn’t have an SOC to report.
Usually they ve bus soc synchronises to the monitor set in system set up.
