Can one use inverter dc charge output to charge a second back-up battery [Not directly connected to system] when connected battery is 100% soc? What switching/controller would be required to route charging and cut back when say main battery is <50% soc? Any advice/solutions?

Hi Guys, I need some advice on how to connect a victron quattro 48/8000 to battery and solar panels. Any boffins out there with some help. I am in centurion gauteng. Tx Johan

Thanks everyone for your feedback and advice. We replaced the earth leak switch and problem solved. Exchanged the Lesco with a Fleischer. Viola!!

Hi Erastus, According to the wiring diagram of the installation manual for 5kW Deye the only earth required was between the inverter body and DB earth, which is done. As said I will retest everything after replacing the earth leakage device [RCD] The inverter neutral properly earthed?? What are you meaning by this? Thanks.

Hi Rich It did trip on grid mains, however at higher than the 30ma., Between 35-40ma. Just tested by pressing test button, works fine on inverter power. I am suspecting the earth leakage device [RCD]. Obtained a new device will get electrician to fit and test again. Thanks.

It did not trip on the in-plug tester at 35-40ma setting.

Hi V, It trips when you press test button. First time delayed response. Thereafter trips when you press.

Do you have any knowledge of earth leakage not tripping when tested with meter from plug, when on inverter power? I have change-over switch between Eskom and inverter power feeding the earth leakage to all circuits in house. Any advice/feedback Johan
