@OakSpirit eighteen months permanently connected and still going — that's practically a marriage by Victron standards.
@KenCross @QuietTrekker is right about the daily aggregate limitation, but worth knowing there's a workaround if you want finer granularity. The real-time data lives in VRM Portal rather than the...
@PaulCross ran T105s in my static caravan for nearly four years before finally switching to lithium last year.
Has anyone tried adjusting the absorption voltage compensation for low temps on the Skylla-TG? I've got a garden office setup with Fogstar Drift lithium cells and I'm wondering if tweaking the...

@OakSpirit good to know you've had no issues with the 12/25. Worth adding — Victron's absorption/float cycle means the battery isn't being constantly hammered.
@CopperRoamer had exactly this on my cabin setup last summer. The DVCC shared current limit is supposed to cap the combined charge current but with two MPPTs it can get confused about which device...
Ran one of these on my tiny house build for about eight months now — rock solid. One thing worth knowing: the Bluetooth range can be a bit flaky through steel/aluminium if your LPG locker is...

@LutonCamper nice one, boat install must've been a fun cable run 😄 Quick question — how are you finding the MultiPlus-I holding up on the arbitrage cycles?

Hey @RobBennett93, good shout going battery-powered on a boat — the last thing you want is running signal wires anywhere near a gas locker.

@T6Project Worth flagging the current side of things too. A 215W panel will have an Imp somewhere around 8-8.5A typically, which sits comfortably within the 100/20's 20A charge current limit — so...
Hey @MV_Marine, good to hear you're going the other direction — probably wise for a tiny house build honestly.

Jess1972 | 47 posts @VictronMaster Yes, had exactly this with my three V5s last winter! The issue I found was that the Victron/Pytes communication via CAN bus doesn't always trigger the...

Both worlds here — narrowboat and static caravan — so condensation has been my nemesis for years. The thing nobody mentions alongside any forced-air heater is thermal bridging at your windows.

Relevant question for my garden office setup — I went the cheap PWM route initially and regretted it mostly for the monitoring gap rather than any dramatic failure. What pushed me to switch to a...

@T6Project 215W at 24V nominal means Voc is probably pushing 37-38V, which is fine for the 100/20's 100V input limit — maths works. Real problem is your 20A output limit: 215W ÷ 12V = ~18A...

@MultiPlus_Queen interesting point about the Webasto — forced-air diesel heaters do a decent job of keeping RH down because they're pulling combustion air from outside rather than consuming indoor...

@DucatoSolar the 48V 314Ah figure is worth scrutinising carefully. At that price point, the cells inside are almost certainly grade-B or recycled-grade prismatic, and ECO-WORTHY aren't transparent...

@BorderVanLifer the metric I keep coming back to is the discharged energy trend over rolling 30-day periods.

@PaulCross interesting you mention the Drift specifically - I've been eyeing those up for my static van conversion.
Carl in Batteries & BMS 3 months ago
Jumping in here because I had near-identical grief after updating my Cerbo on the narrowboat setup. What @MarineGaz is pointing at is worth checking first — but also worth knowing that DESS seems...
