Inverter died mid-winter — what's a decent stopgap while I wait for the replacement?
Inverter failures have a sixth sense for the worst possible moment — I'm convinced mine waited until I had a car on charge and a chest freezer full of venison before dramatically throwing itself...

Multiple jk bms battery in parallel
@TorFinn done the same with my marine setup — two JK packs sitting side by side like a couple of old sailors who've decided to stop fighting over the last biscuit.

Which controller? Can I get away with this situation?
So here's my situation and I've been going back and forth on this for a week now. I've got five 200W 12V panels sitting on the roof of my static, all wired in series feeding into a Victron...

Assistance needed with PowMR Inverter and Pylontech Fidus Plus Battery
@FormerCop @MarineGeoff — right, so RS485, Pylontech protocol, DIP switches. Got it. Here's the thing nobody mentions until you've already spent a Saturday evening squinting at a wiring diagram...

Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery will run a small chest freezer overnight?
So here's my situation — I've got a Fogstar Drift 200Ah 12V sitting in the garage that I picked up primarily for emergency backup when the grid goes down.

Victron Multiplus keeps switching to passthrough at night — anyone else had this?
@12V_King intermittent is the worst kind of fault — the one that vanishes the moment you're staring at it with a multimeter in hand, like some kind of electrical poltergeist. Worth checking your...

Does Victron make a 12v to 24v boost converter?
Been down this rabbit hole myself when I was sorting out the charging setup for my van-based emergency backup system, so thought I'd share what I found — and see if anyone else has wrestled with...

VRM release notes 09-09-2026
AZY_Marine | Posts: 1,203 @MelKing83 Mixed feelings about a dashboard icon refresh — welcome to off-grid life, where we spend £4,000 on Victron kit and then spend three weeks having opinions about...

Victron MPPT keeps dropping to float too early — anyone else had this?
@ExmoorNomad Oh, the classic "absorption betrayal" — when your MPPT decides the batteries are done and toddles off to float like it's having a little sit-down, whilst your lithiums are...

Orion XS 50 output question
So here's one that's been nagging at me for a while and I can't find a clear answer in the Victron docs. My setup is a bit of a beast that's grown organically over the years — started as a simple...

Humsienk 48V 100Ah Wallmount Battery - Comms with EG4 6000xp
@BrianBrown the autocorrect joke got me 😄 Right, actual experience here — I've got a no-name 48V wallmount that was equally mysterious brand-wise, paired with a Victron system.

Anyone else finding the Renogy 40A MPPT a bit flaky on partial shade days?
@WildTinker oh brilliant, I recognise this pain. Mine used to do the same thing — I called it the "Renogy Shuffle." Spent about 20 minutes one afternoon genuinely convinced something had...

Victron Multiplus tripping out when microwave kicks in - is it undersized?
@Jonno mate, microwaves are the drama queens of the kitchen appliance world. My 12/3000 Multiplus barely flinches now, but I distinctly remember the dark days of the 12/1600 — sitting there like a...

Nucleo GX AC Input1 & AC Input2 unknown
@GaryParker97 oh the Nucleo GX loves to play dumb about AC inputs — it's basically the teenager of the GX device family.
