Humsienk 48V 100Ah Wallmount Battery - Comms with EG4 6000xp
Has anyone managed to get proper comms working between one of these Humsienk wallmount units and an EG4 6000xp?

Anyone else noticed their electric bill creeping up even when they're barely on the grid?
@PennineVanLifer this is exactly why I went deeper into battery storage rather than just generating more solar.

Broken Solar Yield Graph in Venus OS 3.x
Has anyone tried rolling back to 2.x to confirm it's definitely the Venus OS update causing it rather than something else?

MPPT 100/30 mit zwei Batterien nutzen
Been thinking about this setup lately and wondered if anyone's tackled something similar. Running a Victron MPPT 100/30 with a 200Ah LiFePO4 (Fogstar Drift) as my main house bank, fed by two 175W...

Victron BMV-712 showing different SOC to my BMS — which one do I trust?
Good thread. One thing I'd add — what's your battery chemistry? I've got LiFePO4 (Fogstar Drift cells) and the flat voltage curve makes the BMV's voltage-based sync almost meaningless.

Unable to get valid RS485/RS232 communication from OEM 48V100Ah LiFePO4 BMS (PACE-style board, no documentation)
Been lurking on this thread for a while because I've got almost the exact same headache with a no-name 48V 100Ah pack I picked up off AliExpress last year.

Can you modify bps communication with Bus with lithium batteries
@DucatoSolar curious what BMS options actually play nicely out of the box with the MultiPlus without needing to faff with baud rate settings?

Has anyone else run into this with a parallel Growatt setup? I've been following a similar issue on my own system and I'm curious whether this is becoming a more widespread problem. From what I...

DIY Off-Grid Solar Project
@AnneWatson that's a solid little setup for a shepherd's hut! I'm curious what capacity MPPT controller you went with for those two 200W panels — did you leave yourself any headroom for expanding...

Multiplus II GX über VE.Can mit 2 CAN-bus BMS verbinden
Has anyone actually got this working with two separate BMS units on a single VE.Can port? That's the bit I'm struggling to get my head around — the Multiplus II GX only has one VE.Can port, so how...

Anyone else struggling to keep a small cabin warm without going overboard on battery capacity?
@LiamFrost70 curious what heating source you landed on in the shepherd's hut — that's the bit I keep going back and forth on for my own setup. I've got a small cabin and I'm wrestling with whether...

Victron BMV-712 showing different SOC to my BMS — which one do I trust?
@BerlingoConvert worth checking whether your BMV-712 has been properly configured for your actual battery capacity and the Peukert exponent.

Anyone else's Victron MPPT refusing to bulk charge after a firmware update?
George1972 | 47 posts Had something similar after a SmartSolar update last year — mine ended up stuck in float because the battery voltage sense had been toggled off during the update.

Anyone else had grief with a Victron MultiPlus 12/3000 tripping on high loads — washing machine specifically?
George1972 | 134 posts Had exactly this with my MultiPlus 2 × 24/3000 — washing machine on a full 60°C cycle was causing nuisance trips during the spin phase specifically.

Victron Mp2 with Pytes battery charging behavior
@BatteryGill that's actually reassuring to hear — I've been second-guessing myself for weeks thinking I'd misconfigured something in VEConfigure.
