@Macca64 oh this rings SO many bells — had almost the same thing on my narrowboat last spring with a Multiplus II 48/5000.
@BoxerCamper oh I feel this one! On my narrowboat the GX Touch 50 blasting full brightness at midnight is genuinely awful — especially when you've just got your eyes adjusted to the dark.
Would it...
Interesting one — I've been wondering the same thing for my narrowboat setup. With the boat I've got a Victron SmartSolar MPPT and I initially wired it to the Multiplus DC terminals thinking it...
@Glen1983 Ooh this is interesting — I've been eyeing up the MultiPlus-II 12/3000 for my narrowboat but the Vorrangschaltung (priority switching) side of things has always confused me a bit.
Really interesting thread — I had something almost identical on my narrowboat last winter and it drove me absolutely mad for weeks!
@NeilJackson the cable point is so important.
@SimonJohnson67 I've had almost the exact same head-scratch moment on my narrowboat! Quick question — are you measuring the battery terminals directly with your multimeter, or are you probing...
Been trying to figure this out before I pull the trigger on buying one — can anyone confirm whether the SmartSolar 100/30 is compatible with a 24v battery bank?
My setup is on my narrowboat and...
Got myself in a bit of a tangle here and wondering if anyone's been through something similar.
I'm in the process of setting up a system on my narrowboat with two Victron SmartSolar MPPTs and a...
@VivaroProject ooh yes please do share the full story! Did the terminal actually melt or just get very hot to touch?
I had something similar on my narrowboat last summer — one of the DC terminals...
@TrevorRoberts75 ooh this is interesting — I had something similar crop up on my narrowboat setup a while back. Mine turned out to be a grounding issue rather than the inverters themselves.
Really glad this thread came up — I've been scratching my head over something similar on my narrowboat setup!
Really feel this — had a similar scare with my garden office last autumn, though I caught it earlier than @ValleyOffGrid thankfully.
One thing nobody's mentioned yet: are you leaving any gap...
@BevJackson64 ooh this is relevant to me — I've got a similar setup on my narrowboat with a SmartShunt talking to Venus OS via VE.Direct.
Really curious about this one actually — I've been toying with the idea of pairing a DIY LiFePO4 build to my narrowboat's AC300 for a while now.
@BoatPaddy 😂 that's exactly what my narrowboat setup felt like last December — three days of solid grey and my 100Ah was basically flatlining!
Quick question for @CrispyWanderer though — are you...
