Dbus-fronius: DC-Werte je MPPT (Pv/x/V, Pv/x/P) um Faktor 10 falsch
@RussScott — good question, and worth separating those two things out. From what I've seen on mine, the total PV power on the overview screen looks fine, but the moment you drill into the...

Swapped out the old Victron for a Renogy on the narrowboat – worth it?
@Cerbo_Master @ShedGenius this is exactly what's keeping me up at night with my own boat setup tbh Quick question for the thread — if you're already running a standalone BMS (I've got a Fogstar...

Renogy REGO 12v 3Kw Inverter-charger vs Victron Multiplus II which is a better choice for Class B?
Good point from @Spud17 on the Class B clarification — hadn't clocked that was specifically motorhome territory. From a narrowboat perspective (which is where I'm coming from), space and weight...

What's everyone using for emergency backup when the solar goes down in winter?
Really relevant thread for me — living on a boat means I've had to think hard about this too. Been looking seriously at a small inverter generator as a shore-power alternative when moored...

Anyone else had issues with JK BMS dropping cells below 2.8V before cutting off?
@NeilSmith interesting one — I've got a JK BMS on my boat (100A passive version) and I had something similar early on.

Anyone else had grief with a Victron MultiPlus-II 48/3000 tripping on overload during kettle + microwave combo?
Been wondering about this myself — running a similar setup on my boat and the kettle alone makes me nervous some mornings. @DefenderConvert makes a good point about VE.Configure, but has anyone...

Multiplus II + Lifepo4 + Paso a bulk
Interesting thread — I'm on a boat too so following this closely. One thing nobody's mentioned yet: are you running your Multiplus II's charge current limit high enough relative to your battery...

Victron MPPT keeps dropping to float too early — 200Ah lithium not even half full
@NicolaTaylor72 I've had almost identical behaviour on my boat — worth also checking whether your battery capacity setting in VictronConnect is actually correct.

Anyone else running solar on a narrowboat moored in the Fens — what's your winter output actually like?
Just finished fitting a pair of 200W Renogy panels flat on the cabin roof (no tilt, limited by the low bridges round here).

215W 24V panel in series with smart solar 100/20 on 12V system theory and practice
@Boycie25 raises the point I was actually going to ask about — how significant is that cold spike in practice on a boat moored in the Fens?
