#103

Low cell voltage

Charge battery. The system will turn the loads back
on when the battery is sufficiently charged.

A-B02

#105 or

#106

High current

Reduce charging current or turn off some loads. The
system will try to re-enable chargers or loads in 5
minutes.

A-B06

Load disconnected

The loads have been turned off via the ATD contact
and/or via the GX device. Resolve this alarm by
charging the battery. If not resolved, eventually the
contactor will open and the DC system will be
disconnected.

Instructions / remarks

E-B09

#09

Battery voltage not allowed

The battery voltage is too high or too low. Check the
battery voltage and check the battery settings in the
VictronConnect app.

This error occurs when the battery voltage is
outside all system voltage ranges (9V > Vbat > 60V)

E-B11

#11

Hardware error

Contact your Victron dealer.

E-B25

#25

Pre-charge error

The load resistance is too low to pre-charge the
loads. Disconnect or reduce some DC loads.

E-B26

#26

Contactor error

Contact your Victron dealer.

E-B34

#34

Wrong system voltage

Check battery voltage settings in the
VictronConnect app.

E-B35

#35

Pre-charge timeout

The load capacity is too high to pre-charge.
Disconnect some DC loads.

E-B36

#36

ATC/ATD failure

Check ATC/ATD wiring and make sure that all loads
and chargers are controlled by ATC or ATD.

E-B119

#119

Settings data lost

Settings data is corrupt. Go to the settings page and
reset to defaults.
