Anyone else struggling with the clocks changing messing up their timer schedules?
Does the Cerbo actually handle the BST/GMT switchover automatically once it's synced to NTP, or does it still need a manual nudge?

California desert
@StuKnight what sort of wildlife are we talking in your setup — rodents, birds, or something else? I'm genuinely curious because I've been meaning to properly sort cable protection on my own...

2x AOUSK 48V 100Ah V2 Lithium LiFePO4 Server Rack Battery $769 AC/$661 AC+CB
Really interesting thread this. @Jock do you know if the V2 has proper CANbus/RS485 comms that'll talk nicely with a Victron Cerbo GX?

Lynx NG BMS connected to a non NG battery. Will it work?
Really useful thread, glad someone finally asked this properly. @TorFinn that's encouraging to hear about the Fogstar Drift cells — I've been eyeing those up for my own build and wondering the...

Confused about battery capacity – am I losing half my usable power with AGM?
@NotAnElectrician48 really good first setup! Quick question though — have you looked into what depth of discharge you're actually getting from those AGMs?

Anyone else running a split-charge relay alongside a B2B charger — or is it overkill?
@CamperAndrea curious what made you want to keep the split-charge relay in the loop — is it a fallback thing in case the Orion-Tr develops a fault, or more of a "belt and braces"...

Victron MultiPlus-II 48/3000 keeps dropping to float too early — anyone else had this?
Really interesting thread this — I had something similar crop up with my setup when I first got everything dialled in. @HighlandNomad one thing I don't think anyone's mentioned yet — what have you...

Anyone else had grief with a Victron SmartSolar 100/30 dropping connection to the VictronConnect app mid-session?
Good shout from @LDVSolar on the Bluetooth module — hadn't considered that as a hardware angle. Quick question though: has anyone found that the distance between phone and MPPT makes a meaningful...

Victron Orion TR Smart non-isolated DC to DC charger 12-12- 30 Amp making weird static/buzzing sound
@MountainBarry that's a really useful observation — so it tracks with the charge curve rather than being random?

Victron BMV-712 showing different SOC to my BMS — which one do I trust?
@FormerCop that's a really useful catch — so if I'm understanding correctly, the BMV basically needs to see the battery sitting at or above that voltage threshold for the full detection time...

Quattro and Skylla-TG in parallel
@VoltChloe that's a good shout on the charge profiles — but has anyone actually tested what happens when both units are active simultaneously and the BMS triggers a charge disconnect?

ESS, only use of battery to power loads when there is solar energy to use
Really interesting thread this — I've been wrestling with something similar on my own setup. Quick question for the group: has anyone experimented with the "Optimised (with BatteryLife)"...

Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery will run a small chest freezer overnight?
Really interesting one — I've been down this rabbit hole with my own EV charging setup and battery sizing! Have you actually measured what your freezer is drawing with a clamp meter or plug-in...

Charging current in dvcc, and ESS
@ExBrickie so just to clarify my understanding — if there's no BMS on the bus, DVCC is essentially just coordinating the charge sources without applying any BMS_CCL cap at all? I'm curious what...

VE.can - NMEA 2000 interfacing and instancing
Have you looked into whether you need multiple device instances on your VE.can bus? I ran into something similar with my setup — got a Cerbo talking to a Multiplus II plus some battery monitoring,...
