4.3.1. Dynamic cut off
The "Dynamic cut off" feature makes the low battery shutdown protection a function of the battery current drawn from the battery
in relation to the battery voltage.
When a high current is being drawn from the battery, a lower cut off voltage threshold is being used, for example 10V. And
similarly, when the battery is only being discharged slowly, a high cut off voltage is used, for example 11.5V.
In this way, a voltage drop, caused by the internal resistance in the battery, is compensated so that the battery voltage becomes a
much more reliable parameter to decide when to stop discharging the battery.
The "Dynamic cut off" feature is most useful for batteries with a high internal resistance, like OPzV and OPzS batteries. It is
a bit less relevant for GEL and AGM batteries and perhaps even irrelevant for lithium batteries. The below graph shows the
discharge ratio versus battery voltage curve for the different battery types. You can see that the lithium curve (LiFePO4) is nearly
flat compared to the OPzV and OPzS curve.
The curve can be adjusted in the VictronConnect app.
Discharge ratio versus battery voltage graph for different battery types
• Do not use the "Dynamic cut off" feature in an installation that also has other loads connected to the same
battery. In these systems the battery voltage might drop because of other loads connected to the battery.
The dynamic cut off algorithm in the inverter can not take those other loads into consideration and will shut
down the Inverter too early with an under voltage alarm.
VictronConnect settings
• The "Dynamic cut off" feature is disabled by default.
• Enable the "Dynamic cut off" feature to use and configure it.
• Select the battery type. Choose between: OPzV/OPzS, GEL/AGM, LiFePO4 or Custom.
• Enter the battery capacity.
• Enter the voltage for the various discharge currents. These values have already been set to the generic voltages that belong to
the specific battery type that was selected earlier. Change these settings only in case they need adjustment and you know what
you are doing, or in case a custom battery is being used.
