    I’m exploring the ‘Advanced’ settings section in the VictronConnect app for my MultiPlus-II inverter/charger and noticed several options, including ‘Prioritize other energy sources‘. Could you detail the functionalities available in this advanced section?

    In the ‘Advanced’ settings of the VictronConnect app, you have options that allow for more sophisticated control of your MultiPlus inverter/charger. These settings are typically used for specific scenarios where the default configuration does not fit the use case. Here’s a detailed explanation of what you can do in this section:

    • Prioritize other energy sources: This setting is useful for systems that have multiple energy sources, like solar or wind power in addition to the grid. When enabled, the inverter/charger will prioritize charging the batteries from these alternative sources first, only using grid power as a backup or when those sources are insufficient.

    • Sustain voltage: Associated with the prioritization of energy sources, this setting specifies a voltage level that the charger will maintain using alternative energy sources before switching to another source like the grid.

    Warning note: It’s important to note that the ‘Prioritize other energy sources’ option is not to be used for Energy Storage Systems (ESS) or off-grid systems without careful consideration, as it could interfere with the necessary energy management and lead to insufficient battery charging.
