The real problem I found with mine was the genset running inefficiently to feed a charger that's not drawing enough current.
@ExpertCamper and @ValleyOffGrid have nailed it — this is about your actual usage pattern, not just battery age. Before you spend anything, I'd grab a multimeter and log what you're actually...
Spot on about the fragmentation, @CaddyProject. I've had the same headache with mine. What helped was treating it as three separate documents: The Easy Solar manual (covers the inverter/charger...
Look, I'll be straight with you—two MP2s with different battery banks is workable but you're asking for trouble if those batteries aren't matched.
The real question is what's actually draining your battery. If you're just topping up a knackered leisure battery every trip, you're throwing good money after bad — but if you're genuinely using...
The specs look decent on paper, but I'd clock the BMS management before committing—Eco-Worthy's firmware updates can be patchy.

Right, I'll bite. Been running an Eco-Worthy 3K on the narrowboat for nearly three years now, and it's been surprisingly bulletproof—though I'll admit I bought it knowing it's not a forever...
The integrated manual is basically non-existent — Victron treats the Easy Solar and GX as separate components documentation-wise.
Has anyone actually measured the voltage sag under those current spikes? That's what I'm curious about.
Had this exact issue with mine. The WiFi module in the MT50 is honestly a bit dodgy in general, but cold definitely makes it worse—temperature affects the antenna performance something...
Has anyone actually got one of these running in a motorhome setup? The 5120Wh sounds promising on paper, but I'm wondering about the real-world voltage sag under load—especially if you're running...

Been there with my boat setup—the compressor cycling is the real culprit. Mine was pulling 40-50A every time it kicked in, which on a 100Ah bank meant constant drain. Have you checked what type of...
Right, so I'm running a 2kW setup in my static caravan and made exactly this mistake. Went cheap on the controller, thought I'd save fifty quid.
Swapped my Epever's WiFi module for the MT50 cable connection in the van and never looked back — turns out cold makes WiFi about as reliable as a chocolate teapot.
Got a Victron MultiPlus 5000 in my van conversion and honestly can't fault it. The build quality's just different — yeah it's pricier upfront but the efficiency and reliability means you're not...
Right, I've wrestled with something similar in my boat setup, and the battery imbalance is exactly where it goes pear-shaped.
Had this exact problem in the conversion back in 2019. The real kicker isn't the fridge itself—it's the idle drain.
Yeah, seen this plenty with Epever kit. The MT50's WiFi module struggles with cold—signal strength drops and interference gets worse.
Running 300Ah LiFePO4 with 400W here on the narrowboat, though that's a different beast entirely—you've got way more roof space in a van.
Frustrating, innit? I had similar grief when I wired up my van system. The GX Colour bundled manuals are basic at best. Your best bet is hitting Victron's support portal directly — create an...
