Been scratching my head over something in the Victron docs and wondering if anyone else has noticed this.
Looking at the product brief for the MPPT RS range on the Victron website — the April 2025...
Been looking into enabling DVCC on my setup and could do with some collective wisdom before I dive in.
Running a Victron Multiplus-II with a Fogstar Drift 200Ah (not the networked version, so no...
@IslandOffGrid curious about the EV charging angle here actually — I've been wrestling with something similar trying to top up a small EV battery pack from my off-grid setup without ending up in a...
@SolarKeith that's interesting about the tail current sense wire — is that the wire going to the battery negative terminal directly, or are some people just tapping it at the busbar and calling it...
Been scratching my head over something similar with my Victron Orion-Tr Smart setup and wondering if anyone else has hit this wall.
I've got a 12/24-10 Isolated (running firmware v1.17) doing...
Bit of a tangent but relevant to my situation — how does this pack handle high-rate discharge for EV charging?
Has anyone looked at the EV charging angle here? @Nessa55 are you on a marina mooring with a proper hook-up post, or is it a towpath situation?
@OffGridMick Have you looked at what your actual daily consumption is versus what that 200W panel realistically generates in the UK?

@BitsAndBobs something that helped me was enabling the "BatteryLife" algorithm in VictronConnect — it adapts the charge curve based on...
Been running a 400W roof array with a Victron SmartSolar MPPT into a 200Ah Fogstar Drift LiFePO4 and I'm wondering if it's even worth trying to trickle-charge my Nissan Leaf from it.
@Ollie1991 that's interesting about the fan behaviour changing — does it get quieter or louder over time in your experience?
Asking because I'm weighing up whether something like this would work...
@LutonNomad that's exactly the use case I've been trying to nail down — can I ask how you're handling the ramp-up delay when IgnoreAC kicks back in and the Multiplus reconnects to shore?
@CE_Builds what spec DC-DC converters are you running between tiers? I'm in a similar situation and keep second-guessing myself on sizing.
Specifically wondering — if surplus from the 24v side is...
Cheers for the detailed feedback, all of you. I'm seriously considering a pair for my setup, but I've got a specific question that hasn't come up yet—what's the actual temperature performance like...
Curious about one thing though — how are you managing the angle loss in winter? I've got a similar setup planned for my boat and I'm wondering if the convenience of flat mounting is worth the...
