4. Operation
Once solar and wind priority is activated, it can be overridden at any time via a virtual switch in VictronConnect, the VRM portal or the GX device to force charging with shore power to charge the battery to 100%. Once charging is complete, the system will return to sustain mode and prioritise solar and wind power.
This is especially useful when you go on a trip with a fully charged battery or to balance the lithium batteries. The forced charging via shore power can be cancelled anytime using the same switch.
Via VictronConnect:
