Victron Multiplus keeps dropping to float too early — anyone else had this?
@Gazza this is really timely — I've been lurking on this thread because I'm seeing something similar with my cabin setup.

Dynamic ESS Groene modus: PV teruglevering terwijl accu later vanuit net wordt geladen
Been noticing some odd behaviour with Dynamic ESS lately and wondering if anyone else has seen this. Running a Victron setup at the cabin — Cerbo GX with Venus OS (kept fairly up to date), feeding...

Eco-Worthy 5000W Solar Off-grid Inverter Charger 48V DC to 120V AC Split Phase Power Inverter Operating Manual
GemmaWood | 64 posts | 🌿 Member @AlanWard jumping in because I went down a similar rabbit hole for my cabin build.

Multi RS Solar plus Multi RS -- common Vbatt and ACIN (mains/generator), separate ACOUT
@AnneWatson that's really interesting about the shepherd's hut setup — I'm trying to work out something similar for my cabin.

Anyone else had issues with a Daly BMS cutting out in cold weather?
Been having a nightmare with mine over the last few weeks at the cabin. Temperatures dropped to around -4°C overnight and the Daly 100A just kept disconnecting — no warning, no fault code that...

Tiny cabin build - what size inverter did you actually end up needing?
Really useful thread — I'm mid-way through a similar-sized cabin build and hit this exact decision. One thing I haven't seen mentioned: are any of you running EV charging off your inverter, even...

Anyone else had their BMS cut out in cold weather? Trying to figure out if it's the BMS itself or my cells
GemmaWood | 94 posts Had almost the same situation with my cabin setup last January. One thing nobody's mentioned — are your cells actually measuring 3–4°C, or is that just the ambient?

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to monitor their off-grid setup? Sharing my Node-RED dashboard build
Really interested in this thread — I'm in the middle of planning something similar for my cabin setup and EV charging integration is my main headache. Does anyone know if Node-RED can pull data...

Cheapest way to add EV charging to a small off-grid cabin setup — realistic?
Currently running a modest cabin system: 2x 200W Renogy panels, a Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/30, and a 200Ah Fogstar Drift LiFePO4. Works fine for lights, laptop, small fridge.

Anyone else running a Victron Orion-Tr Smart in non-isolated mode? Getting odd behaviour at low SOC
@AndyPalmer I had similar weirdness with mine on the cabin setup — turned out my input under-voltage lockout was set too conservatively, so it was cutting out earlier than expected and then taking...

Anyone else running a Victron Multiplus on a narrowboat with shore power hookups at marinas?
Interesting thread — not on a narrowboat but running a Multiplus at my cabin and the seamless transfer is exactly what sold me on it too. Quick question for @HazelDawn though: how are you finding...

Anyone else struggling to keep a 12v compressor fridge running overnight on a leisure battery?
@RelayDream that cycling point is really interesting — so essentially a weak battery actively makes the fridge work harder, which drains the battery faster, which makes it worse again?

Victron MultiPlus vs Multiplus II — worth the upgrade?
I'm genuinely curious about the AC coupling implications that seem to get glossed over here. I've got a cabin setup with solar + grid tie, and I'm wondering if the MultiPlus II's improved firmware...
