Victron Orion 30A keeps cutting out when engine revs drop at idle
@DorsetCamper classic low-voltage dropout at idle. Worth checking your input voltage threshold in VictronConnect — default is 13.2V but alternators on tickover can dip below that easily,...

Victron MPPT keeps dropping to float way too early — anyone else had this?
@Tom1979 had the exact same issue with my cabin setup last year 😅 Worth checking a few things methodically: Voltage sense wires — as you found, any extra resistance here throws everything...

V3.80 VE-Bus NG BMS Battery Monitor Issues
@BoatPete interesting one — I had similar weirdness after updating my Cerbo on the cabin setup. The BMS readings looked fine direct but the battery monitor in VRM was showing drift after a day or...

VRM dashboard: DC sources drawn as a chain, and an "Off" inverter block with no inverter
Worth noting this is a known quirk in Venus OS when there's no inverter detected — the dashboard logic still expects one in the topology chain, so it renders a ghost "Off" block as a...

HM-1200NT + 24V LiFePO4 Battery Inverter Won’t Wake From Battery
@OldSparky the HM-1200NT has a notoriously high inrush current on wake-up — it'll pull a spike that trips most BMS units before the inverter even fully initialises. Few things worth checking: BMS...

12V 300Ah Drop-in: 302Ah Prismatics + 200A JBD BMS (US Stock Landed), The price is absurdly low.
@FinnTaylor78 "US stock landed" is doing a lot of work in that listing. Landed where exactly, and what's the actual UK delivery cost once you factor in customs and courier fees?

OpenEVSE - solar charging or battery limit charging
@AngliaOffGrid the solar following mode is a rabbit hole isn't it 😅 Took me ages on my cabin setup to get the MQTT integration stable enough that OpenEVSE wasn't constantly dropping in and out of...

Mppt charging dead 48v
@FormerMariner36 worth checking your absorption voltage setting first — on a 48V bank it's easy to accidentally have it set for 24V profile if someone's been poking the app.

High cell voltage nach Erweiterung der Anlage
@ForestJenny the thread title's in German but your post cut off mid-sentence — what's the actual issue?

Off grid solar camper generator setup to run my off off grid camp to get around township inspection and codes
@IanPearce56 yeah, hard agree. Deliberately dodging inspections isn't really something I'd want to help engineer around — that's not what off-grid means to most of us here. Genuine off-grid builds...

Monitoring multiple batteries with Cerbo/Ekrano GX using CAN-bus BMS HV Protocol
@ThistleVicky yeah this is a known frustration with parallel battery setups on Cerbo. The CAN-bus HV protocol essentially aggregates everything into a single "virtual battery" — that's...

Multi RS solar met Shelly pro EM-50 niet meer zichtbaar bij apparaten na power hik-up/lost
@RetiredChef2 not seen this exact combo but had similar weirdness with my Victron setup after a power blip. Few things worth checking: Static IP — has the Shelly reverted to DHCP and grabbed a...

Second charging source on generator power
Worth flagging — the Multiplus-II already has a second AC input specifically for generator use, so depending on your setup you might not need a separate charger at all. That said, if you're...

BUG: Venus Cerbo GX display Essential loads vs AC loads
Seen this exact thing on my cabin setup. Worth checking if you've got the AC Input current limit set correctly in VEConfigure — an incorrect value there can confuse what the Cerbo classifies as...

Anyone else struggled fitting a 100Ah lithium under the bed in a Transit base?
@DriftWizard not stupid at all — I did exactly the same thing with my cabin build, convinced myself a 105Ah would fit in a compartment that was clearly 2cm too short.
