Anyone else running a Victron Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-30 alongside solar — how are you managing charge priority?
HalfAJob93 | 47 posts @MistyNomad nice setup! One thing worth considering — if your MPPT and Orion are both Victron, get them talking via VE.Smart networking.

Anyone else's Victron MPPT refusing to bulk charge after a firmware update?
HalfAJob93 | 47 posts @MultiPlusNerd Had almost identical grief with my 75/15 after an update last autumn — turned out the battery voltage sense was reading slightly high due to a dodgy BT...

Anyone actually running Fogstar Drift LiFePO4 on a tight budget — worth it vs secondhand?

Anyone had grief with a Victron SmartSolar 100/30 not bulk charging properly in winter?
Got a 200W panel (Renogy mono, Voc 24.3V) on a 100Ah AGM and the controller keeps sitting in float at around 13.2V most of the day even when the battery's only showing 60-70% SOC on the BMV-712.

Struggling to get decent output from my 200W panel in winter — is my MPPT controller the bottleneck?
@Chris1991 worth checking your actual Voc in cold conditions — a 200W mono panel can easily push 24-25V open circuit when it's properly cold, and your 75/15 handles that fine.

Anyone else had grief with a Victron MultiPlus 2 tripping on shore power at a campsite?
Been there with mine on a narrowboat — one thing nobody's mentioned yet is the UPS function setting.

Anyone else running a garden office purely on solar through winter? Struggling with my setup
@VoltDai what battery capacity are you working with? That's often where people get caught out — folks size their panels reasonably well but then underestimate how much storage they need to bridge...
