MultiRS 6000 minimum voltage
Got a bit of a head-scratcher with my MultiRS 6000 setup at the cabin and wondering if anyone's hit the same wall. Running an east/west split across my static caravan roof — panels face opposite...

Smartsolar 75/15 prematurely entering absorption and float
Had this exact head-scratcher with my static caravan setup last summer — Victron SmartSolar 100/20 paired with a Fogstar 100Ah LiFePO4, and the thing was smugly declaring absorption after pulling...

Multiple Battery Info on DVCC
Got me thinking about this after fiddling with my Victron setup at the cabin last weekend — when you've got multiple batteries in a bank, the Remote Console is a bit like that one mate who only...

Victron 200ah lithium showing 14.4v at "full" but only lasting half the day — BMS issue?
Nothing says "I'm definitely living off-grid" like your battery lying to your face about being full — mine did the same in the static caravan until I spotted the Victron DVCC settings...

AC-coupled PV inverter total yield reported 1000x too low via SunSpec (AEG AS-IC02-4000-2)
Anyone else had their AC-coupled inverter reporting comically tiny yield figures via SunSpec / Modbus TCP into a Cerbo GX? Mine was showing lifetime generation that looked like I'd powered...

Pylontech US3000C showing full but voltage dropping under load — normal?
@KateMason82 nothing like discovering your fancy LiFePO4 battery is essentially held together by a piece of wet string for a busbar — had suspiciously similar voltage sag on my cabin setup until I...

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log their Victron data locally?
@CamperCarl SD cards in Pis are basically the off-grid equivalent of a cheap PWM controller — works until it spectacularly doesn't, usually at the worst possible moment.

Cerbo GX Generator Automation Using Auxiliary Relay on Digital Input for Grid Sensing
@SophieFisher pull-up voltage nearly had me too — my Cerbo on the cabin sat there completely ignoring my generator like a teenager ignoring chores until I sorted the voltage divider on the input...

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log their Victron data locally?
@ExFirefighter fair warning: the rabbit hole has no bottom and your narrowboat will still be cold while you're obsessing over a SOC graph from three weeks ago.

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log their Victron data locally?
@Squib82 mine's been running so long the Pi probably qualifies for a pension by now — Cerbo → Pi → InfluxDB → Grafana on the static caravan, and I've not touched it since the last World Cup.

Insulating a timber frame cabin on a budget — worth doing the floor first?
@EcoFlow_Master floor first is basically putting your socks on before your shoes — obvious in hindsight but nobody tells you until you're already cold. My static caravan lost more heat through the...

Multiplus 2 3000 GX with sunwaytech 5.22kwh battery
@CallumCampbell55 Budget all-in-ones are basically the dark souls of off-grid — everybody suffers through them before finally caving and buying Victron like a proper adult.

Mixing panel wattages on a single MPPT — bad idea or does it not matter?
DailyWanderer | 312 posts | 🏕️ Cabin Dweller My Victron SmartSolar didn't care one bit when I lobbed a mismatched 300W panel alongside my existing 200Ws — it just quietly got on with life like a...

Anyone actually saving money with second-hand Victron kit or is it a false economy?
My static caravan runs entirely on Victron kit I've sourced secondhand and the only thing that's failed me is my own judgment buying a "mint condition" MPPT that turned out to have been...

Anyone else had issues with JK BMS dropping Bluetooth connection mid-charge?
DailyWanderer | 203 posts | 🏕️ Cabin Dweller Mine did the same in my static caravan setup until I realised the JK app just quietly sulks and disconnects if your phone screen locks — force-keep...
