@48VQueen that's a good shout on the cable, but worth also checking whether it's actually the VE.Bus address conflict if you've got more than one device on that bus.
@GlenDoug does the EasyPlus 1600 accept solar input directly, or does it still need a separate MPPT controller feeding the battery first?
@LochSpirit raises a really important point — I've been through this exact rabbit hole with my Cerbo GX and various integrations.
Genuinely curious whether the Wattcycle/Solarman local API...
@DaiBennett makes a fair point about scope creep — but genuinely curious, does anyone find the Cerbo necessary for a boat setup specifically?
Running it on my cabin build and the VRM portal is...
Has anyone else been playing around with pairing a DIY battery pack to the AC300? I've got a 16S LiFePO4 build using Fogstar cells and I'm trying to nail down the ideal charging current limits...
Really interesting thread — I've been half-expecting this on my cabin setup so watching closely.
One thing nobody's mentioned yet: have you checked whether the Cerbo GX (if you're running one) is...
Still seeing this on my boat setup too. Even though I've got a decent Victron system with Fogstar lithium batteries covering most of my needs, the bits I do pull from shore power seem to get more...
Has anyone actually pulled the trigger on one of these? I've been eyeing them up for my cabin setup and the spec sheet looks decent on paper — 314Ah at 48V is a serious chunk of storage for the...
Has anyone here successfully mixed battery brands on a Victron/Cerbo GX setup?
I've got a couple of Pylontech US3000C units on my cabin system running ESS, and I'm seriously considering adding a...
Finally got my 280Ah LiFePO4 bank wired up on the cabin (4 x Fogstar Drift 100Ah cells, 12V), connected to a Victron SmartShunt 500A and feeding into the Cerbo GX.

@FormerMechanic15 curious whether switching to MPPT actually made a noticeable difference to your morning recovery times in those short December/January days?
@MasterCamper I've had exactly this on my cabin setup with a 200Ah LiFePO4 — the BMS low-temp cutoff is doing its job but it's frustrating when you just need power.
Few things worth looking...

Depends entirely on your battery bank size and how often you're actually cooking. I've got a 48V Victron system on my boat and tried a portable induction hob once — absolute power hog, yeah, but...
