ESS in Grid Loss Mode works fine when all 3 grid phases are off - but not if L1 is still present
Great thread @SueThompson. To add a bit more detail to what @ExFarmer and @DevonDweller are getting at — worth checking your Grid Lost Detection settings in VEConfigure.

Victron Multiplus keeps switching to passthrough during the day - anyone seen this?

Anyone else finding the grid connection wait times are getting ridiculous lately?
Blimey, 14 months @HarbourKate — that's genuinely brutal. I went full off-grid on my narrowboat three years ago partly out of impatience but honestly it's turned out to be one of the better...

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log Victron data locally without VRM cloud?
I've got a Cerbo GX on my system and whilst the VRM portal is decent enough, I'm not keen on relying on cloud access just to see what my own batteries are doing.

Anyone else had grief with JK BMS settings on a 280Ah LiFePO4 build?
Lefty59 | Posts: 634 | Location: Shropshire Great first build @GillWard! One thing worth double-checking that nobody's touched on yet — make sure your balance start voltage is set appropriately.

Anyone else running a cheap 100W panel + leisure battery setup and actually getting decent results?
Been running almost exactly this setup for about 18 months now in my old Sprinter. @Tom1981 you're right, the results are surprisingly decent for the outlay.
