5.3. Updating firmware
The firmware can be checked and updated with the VictronConnect app.
The VictronConnect app might ask on the first connection to update the firmware. If this is the case, let it perform a firmware
update.
If it did not automatically update, check if the firmware is already up to date using the following procedure:
• Connect to the solar charger.
• Click on the settings symbol
• Click the options symbol
.
• Go to product info.
• Check if you are running the latest firmware and look for the text: "This is the latest version".
• If the solar charger does not have the most up-to-date firmware, perform a firmware update.
