Illustrative battery messages

A text when your battery runs low.

Set separate Low and Critical Battery thresholds. When a scheduled check finds a reading below one, Pro can send the matching text.

These messages show separate scheduled readings. The thresholds are examples, not recommendations.

Your system, your thresholds

Set the levels that matter to your home.

Choose separate Low and Critical Battery thresholds. With recovery confirmations enabled, you can also hear when the battery rises above your chosen recovery level after a Critical Battery alert.

Ungrid reads supported telemetry and never changes battery or charging settings.

Example thresholds and readings only. Choose limits that fit your system and reserve plan.

When you are asleep or away

Choose which alerts can wake you.

With Pro, Low Battery alerts and recovery confirmations wait until your Quiet Hours end. Critical Battery can bypass Quiet Hours by default; each recipient can change that preference.

Delivery still depends on a fresh reading from the supported cloud connection.

Start with the system you own

Connect, choose your limits, then add texts if you need them.

Use a supported Victron VRM or EG4 Cloud connection with usable battery state-of-charge readings. No extra monitoring hardware is needed when your existing system provides the supported data.
