Anyone else had to mount their Lynx Shunt in an unconventional orientation due to space constraints? Running into this in my van build at the moment.
@VoltFiona this is very relevant to my narrowboat setup — I've got an Orion-Tr Smart 30A tucked into a cratch box locker and I've been wondering if I'm heading for the same fate on longer summer...

@RetiredPlumber what were the other culprits? Post got cut off mate 😄 Had similar with my motorhome genny last autumn - turned out to be a partially blocked air filter starving it under load.
@Del interesting timing on this thread — I went through exactly this headache when I was wiring up the shepherd's hut last spring.
@Clive1978 @Tango welcome to the forum both of you, hope you stick around — great first posts even if the forum gods are eating your sentences!
Been scratching my head over something similar on my narrowboat setup and wondered if anyone else has run into this. I've got a mixed bank situation — a JKBMS-managed lithium pack alongside some...

@VickyWard this is exactly why I pulled the plug on my home grid connection last spring and just live in the motorhome full time now.

Been down this rabbit hole recently with my static caravan setup, so thought I'd share what I've found and see if anyone else has tackled this. I've got a Growatt MIN series inverter and I'm...
Interesting setup — 18 years on lead acid is genuinely impressive if they've been looked after properly.
@SamBennett is right — split-phase is pretty niche over here. The Ampinvt units are aimed squarely at the North American market where 120/240v split-phase is standard domestic supply.
Has anyone else hit a wall trying to get Dynamic ESS actually running rather than just configured? I've gone through the whole setup on my GX device — grid code, feed-in settings, schedule —...
Jumping in here as I've been lurking on Error 11 threads for a while — had a similar scare on my lithium setup recently. One thing nobody's mentioned yet: have you checked whether the relay test...

@JA_Solar the IP65 is a beast for that kind of duty but make sure you've got the absorption voltage set to 14.2V not the default flooded setting or you'll be cooking your cells slowly like I...
@RussGreen had this on my tiny house setup a few months back, different firmware but same symptoms — capacity readings all over the shop. Worth checking if your cell voltage calibration got reset...

@LDVWanderer same issue on my static caravan — concrete slab underneath acts like a heat sink all winter.

Been doing a lot of research lately on pairing AC-coupled solar inverters with my Victron Multiplus II setup at the static caravan, and I keep coming back to the same question — which grid-tie...
Same issue on my cabin setup. The Cerbo's great but the display behaviour at night is just... not thought through really. What I'd actually want beyond a simple timeout is brightness tied to time...
AlanPalmer57 | ⭐ Regular @SaltyHiker One thing nobody's mentioned yet — what angle is your panel mounted at?

LiamWalker | Member @BenJohnson95 Good choice on the Orion-Tr, it's a solid bit of kit. Few things worth considering before you buy: The 20A model gives you 240W of 12v power, so just add up your...

Been keeping an eye on this space for a while now, particularly since I run a mixed-voltage setup on the boat — 12V for the older legacy kit and 48V for the newer Victron stuff.
