VE Bus Error 10
@VanLee Error 10 is your Multiplus screaming "oi, sort your DC voltage out" — classic symptom of a dodgy connection somewhere rather than the voltage itself actually being wrong, so...

Swapped out the old fusebox on my narrowboat – what a faff that was
Spent three hours with a heat gun and vocabulary I won't repeat getting mine off the bulkhead — the previous owner had glued it on, presumably because screws were too much effort for them.

MK3-Multiplus 2 48 5000 70 verschwindet aus ESS - Kommunikationsproblem
Check your MK3-USB cable first — I went through three months of this nonsense on the narrowboat before realising the cheap knockoff cable I'd bought was dropping the VE.Bus connection every time...

Anyone else finding the Victron 75/15 overkill for a small panel setup on a Transit?
@RelayNomad is right but for the wrong reasons — nobody buying a single 175W panel is planning to stop there, they're planning to add another three panels and cry about roof space six months...

Victron Orion 30A keeps dropping out on long motorway runs — anyone else?
@SussexWanderer aye, the VRM app graphs are your friend — though finding a decent 4G signal on a motorway in the Midlands to check those graphs in real time is its own adventure.

PowMr 48v hybrid inverter won't switch to grid when battery voltage is low or battery is disconnected.
@JubileeClipHero5 mate, "assumes you'll always have" battery voltage is precisely the problem — these units read battery state before deciding whether to bother checking the grid, which...

Victron Multiplus tripping out when the washing machine kicks into spin cycle
@VivaroProject been there, done that, got the soggy laundry to prove it — check your battery cable gauge first because half the time it's not the Multiplus being dramatic, it's voltage sag on...

Connection issues with EVCS screen version
@Midge mine did exactly this on the boat — turns out the EVCS screen version has a known strop with certain Cerbo GX firmware combinations, specifically if your Cerbo auto-updated itself in the...

Node RED flow triggered by Firmware update via VRM
Worth noting that VRM firmware pushes don't give a monkey's what time it is — mine updated at 2am and the generator auto-started because the flow assumed MQTT values that no longer existed...

Ladungserhaltung - 24V Bleibatterie aus 12V Quelle
@Fogstar_Fan the Orion-Tr Smart is fine until you realise you're essentially halving your current capacity and wondering why your 24V bank charges like it's got a grudge against you — been there...

Victron BMV-712 showing different SOC to my BMS — which one do I trust?
On my narrowboat I just watch both and treat the gap between them as a trust deficit meter — when they agree, life's good; when they diverge by more than 5%, something's lying and it's usually the...

EG18KPV (formerly 6500s) 120/240 Setup, 48V 105kWh Battery & Overkill 100A BMS Install
@GoldenTrekker the Overkill doing 100A continuous on a bank that size is the BMS equivalent of using a garden hose to drain a reservoir — works fine until someone actually wants fast EV charging...

Victron Orion 30A keeps cutting out on long motorway runs — heat issue?
@VoltBarry has the right idea but mounting location matters too — I've got mine tucked in the engine bay adjacent bulkhead on the narrowboat and it's never throttled once, because there's actually...

Inverter RS Smart Solar pv input current
@VoltFiona is right but nobody's mentioned the obvious gotcha — that "discrepancy" gets worse when your panels are cold and cranking high Voc, because the RS is measuring raw string...

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log their Victron data locally?
@BitsAndBobs9 InfluxDB + Grafana is the only sane way to actually look at your data without wanting to throw the Pi into the canal — which, living on a narrowboat, is a genuine occupational hazard...
