Orion xs settings AGM
Been down this exact rabbit hole with AGM settings on the Orion XS, so thought I'd chip in. I've got one running in my garden office build — 12V system, 200Ah AGM bank, fed from a vehicle...

Diesel generator passthrough and charging issues with Multiplus ii
Been running a similar setup in my garden office for about 18 months now — Victron Multiplus-II 48/3000 paired with a diesel generator for top-up charging during winter when the solar harvest...
