Victron MultiPlus II GX no discharge

Hello, I have a problem with my setup. Basically, I have Victron MultiPlus II GX installed with two US5000 batteries. The problem is that there is no battery discharge at all. Batteries are 100% SoC all the time, on the virtual console I can see the current is pass thru input to output, no batteries are involved.

There are no errors, virtual console shows the battery status, etc.

Did I miss something? Please help

P.S. I have connected VC to the grid but output is just in garage to power up my small applicances, no ET112.

Did you install the ESS-Agent?

If not, should work through this guide:

Yes, I installed ESS and it didn’t make any difference.

Are your loads connected on ACOut or ACIN?
ACOUT should be working right away, AC-IN Loads, you need a meter, else the system “can’t see them” and won’t feedin anything.

Connected to AC-Out-1.

I noticed also that when I switch off the AC-In then there is no output on AC-Out-1 maybe it’s expected behavior?

Also noticed that ESS Relay Test is non stop = Pending

That’s probably wrong?

Yeah, if the relay test fails, the system won’t operate.

Also check the physical switch, it has three positions: Charger Only, Off, Inverter. Needs to be set to Inverter to be able to discharge power.

Thank you @dognose the switch was in wrong position :slight_smile: Now I can see the discharging battery.

Many thanks :slight_smile:
