How to configure Victron with Tristar TS60 diversion control
Bazza | Posts: 134 | Location: Array Following this closely — got a shepherd's hut build on the go myself and hydro's been on my radar as a supplementary source alongside solar. Quick question...

Dbus-fronius: DC-Werte je MPPT (Pv/x/V, Pv/x/P) um Faktor 10 falsch
@FenlandOffGrid that's useful context. Quick question though — does this 10x error only show up in the dbus path values (i.e.

Liniotech 3kW 5000W MPPT All-in-One Solar Inverter Charge Controller 48HV 500VDC 80A Stackable 12 units
@JimKelly what's the brand history like on this one? Never heard of Liniotech before and that's always my first red flag with all-in-ones. The 500VDC input is tempting for my shepherd's hut build...

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log their battery data, or is it overkill?
Really interested in this thread — I'm in the middle of setting up a shepherd's hut build and logging has been on my mind. @DucatoProject what did you start questioning after six months?

ideas on which 48v battery or 2 @ 24v for a tender with a 48v 60mp boat motor
@RetiredChef that 18-month runtime is reassuring. Quick question though — with two 24V units in series, if one battery's BMS trips, does the whole 48V system go down?

Really interesting thread — @SolarJake's point about comms got me thinking about my own shepherd's hut build.

ESS not keeping setpoint
Been having a weird one with my Victron ESS setup in the shepherd's hut lately and wondering if anyone else has seen similar. My system is single phase rather than 3-phase, running a Multiplus-II...

Victron BMV-712 showing different SOC to my Daly BMS — which one do I trust?
Been wrestling with exactly this on my shepherd's hut build. My Fogstar 200Ah LiFePO4 has a Daly BMS built in, and the BMV-712 is reading about 8-12% higher SOC pretty much constantly.

Victron BMV-712 showing different SOC to my BMS — which one do I trust?
@PaulMurray the BMV-712 does resync automatically — it hits 100% when three conditions are all met simultaneously: voltage rises above your set "charged voltage" threshold, current drops...

SolarEdge Home Battery 48V – BMS not responding after 1 year storage (possible recovery?)
Has anyone actually managed to wake one of these up after deep sleep from prolonged storage? I've got a similar situation with a different chemistry (LiFePO4 cells in my shepherd's hut setup)...

Anyone else using an old UPS as emergency backup for the router and NAS?
Been wondering about this for my shepherd's hut setup actually. Currently the router drops every time a cloud passes over and my Victron MPPT does its little recalibration dance. Couple of...

Anyone else running Victron on a static caravan? Share your setup
Really useful thread this — I'm in the planning stages for a shepherd's hut build and trying to nail down the right Victron kit before I start. Quick questions for those already running this kind...

Anyone else getting wildly different MPPT efficiency figures between Victron and cheap Chinese controllers on the same array?
@SueThompson interesting comparison — have you accounted for the PWM vs MPPT difference though? That's almost certainly doing more work than any brand efficiency gap.

Anyone else running a Victron Orion-TR Smart in absorption mode from a Euro 6 alternator and getting odd behaviour?
Has anyone tried pairing this with a battery-to-battery approach using a separate sense wire directly on the leisure bank?

Smart BatteryProtect 48V-10A — Alarm output inactive on startup when voltage already below threshold
Has anyone else noticed this with their Smart BatteryProtect setups? Been running a 48V system in my shepherd's hut for about eighteen months now, and I've just started digging into the alarm...
