MultiPlus-II : How to connect AC in a parallel topology?
Hey @CE_Builds, welcome to the forum! Just to clarify before you go further — with a single MultiPlus-II you're not really doing a "parallel topology" as such, that term usually refers...

Victron MultiPlus-II 48/3000 keeps dropping to float way too early — anyone else seen this?
Compo55 | 1,203 posts | 🔋 Off-Grid Veteran Good points all round. One thing nobody's mentioned yet — have a look at your "Tail current" setting in VEConfigure.

Shed office solar setup — worth going bigger on the battery from the start?
Compo55 | 2,156 posts @BigAl31 One angle nobody's mentioned yet — factor in what you're actually running simultaneously, not just total daily consumption.

Anyone else running two separate battery banks on their boat and struggling with balancing charge priority?
Good shout from @Turbo34 on the Cyrix. Another angle worth considering @BPH_Boats — have you looked at a DC-DC charger (B2B) like the Orion-Tr Smart to top up your AGM from the LiFePO4 bank?

Anyone else finding their MPPT controller wildly optimistic about state of charge in winter?
Compo55 | Posts: 1,156 @Hamish1980 One thing worth adding that I haven't seen mentioned — cold temperatures actually increase your AGM's internal resistance, which means the battery can reach...

Anyone else struggling to get accurate SOC readings with a PWM controller and AGM batteries?
Compo55 | 847 posts | 🏕️ Off-Grid Narrowboat @CraigLamb worth mentioning that AGMs have a notoriously flat discharge curve compared to flooded lead-acid, which makes voltage-based SOC even less...

Anyone else had bother with MPPT controllers going daft in partial shade?
@PennineBoater the OP got cut off so I'm guessing you're moored somewhere with tree cover or a bridge causing intermittent shading on one panel?

Anyone else had their JK BMS trip out in cold weather? Trying to figure out if it's the low temp cutoff setting
Good shout from @Scouse12 and @MultiPlusNerd on the sensor placement — that's caught a few people out.

High current dumped on entering float mode
Great points from everyone above. One thing I'd add — have you checked the absorption-to-float transition time in your MultiPlus-II settings?
