# Release 2.60~ie

Remote Console

added Warnings submenu that shows any active warning of all connected batteries in human readable form along with the technical mnenonic used by FzSonick
added indicator of the number of all active warnings of each individual battery on the submenu label
added Alarms submenu that shows any active alarm of all connected batteries in human readable form along with the technical mnenonic used by FzSonick
added indicator of the number of all active alarms of each individual battery on the submenu label
added Individual Batteries submenu that lists all connected batteries, their node Id and their BMS version
added submenu for each individual battery, showing warnings, alarms, and all other stats for the each specific battery alone.

added ability to use the second relay
Alarm mode: the relay will switch when one or more batteries signal an alarm, or when the SOC drops below Minimum SOC (unless grid fails)
Connect Load mode: the relay will switch when excess power exceeds Connect load treshold (excess power)
added Relay 2 Polarity: the relay can be configured to be Normally Open or Normally Closed
added Debounce Time: the relay will switch only when the trigger condition (alarm or excess power) is present for more than the configured time. This allows for avoiding short transitory states (false positives) and prevents the relay from relentlessly switching.

Heating: The batteries are being heated, the system is not operational.
Optimize self-consumption: The default state. The system is trying to acheive the energy flow from/to the grid configured in Grid setpoint.
Forced EOC: The system is performing a full charge of the batteries. This can be triggered manually, or it will happen automatically when the batteries haven't been fully charged for more than a week.
Hold min SOC: The system is throttling discharge, or charging with low power in order to prevent the SOC from dropping below Minimum SOC (unless grid fails)
Charge to min SOC: The system is charging the batteries in order to reach Minimum SOC (unless grid fails)
Bridge grid blackout: The grid has lost power (blackout). The system is feeding the loads connected to AC-out by discharging the batteries.
Limit discharge power: The battery discharge power is being throttled. By setting Limit the discharge power, discharge power is limited to a chosen set-value.
Limit charge power: The battery charge power is being throttled. By setting Limit the charge power, charge power is limited to a chosen set-value.
Scheduled charge: The battery is charging when a planned charge (done using the option Scheduled charging) is due.
No grid meter available: The system isn't recognizing an installed grid meter. The system will attempt to charge the battery.

added new controller that is optimized for salt batteries. The standard Victron controller is geared toward Lead-Acid batteries,it cannot efficiently deal with salt batteries.
added ability to limit power by the effective current and voltage limits of the battery, increasing the available discharge power by 10-20%
added Hold min SOC mode that throttles discharge on low SOC conditions and compensates for heat loss.
added Forced EOC mode that forces batteries to be fully charged, at least once per week, but no more than necessary.
added Charge to min SOC mode that forces batteries to be charged till reaching the min SOC, if there was a blackout that led the SOC to fall under the minimum value.
added Bridge grid blackout mode that operates the loads using battery power, when a blackout happens. Priority goes to the critical loads.
added Limit discharge power mode that limits the discharge power of the battery and depends on the grid if more power is needed than the limit.
added Limit charge power mode that limits the charge power of the battery, making it charge with less power over a more period of time.
added Scheduled charge mode that allows the user to plan a charge beforehead. Up to 5 different charge plans are available at the same time in the Scheduled charge inCharging Strategy menu.
added No grid meter available mode that detects if a grid meter isn't recognised or connected properly.
