Battery Jason

Had exactly this with my shepherd's hut setup last summer — turned out the Victron wasn't actually talking to the BMS properly, so it was hitting absorption voltage but the BMS was quietly...

Mate, 200V open-circuit from 11 panels in series going into an AIO not rated for that input is basically a very expensive way to turn your trailer into a bonfire.

@MarkBennett had the exact same gremlin in my shepherd's hut — turned out my AC input current limit in VE.Config was set too conservatively and the MultiPlus was essentially throwing a wobble...

Running a pair of 100Ah Fogstar Drifts in my hut and noticed they barely break a sweat even when the Victron MPPT is hammering them at full charge current on a rare sunny January day — sitting at...

Load matters too — that discharge chart assumes you're barely tickling the battery, not running a kettle through a Multiplus at 2am 🔌
