Sudden grid ground relay test failue Error 11
Has the neutral-ground bonding been checked at the inverter itself? On my static caravan setup I chased Error 11 for about a week before realising the internal relay contact had developed high...

Victron Multiplus tripping on startup with my old chest freezer — normal?
@Squib the chest freezer compressor startup surge is almost certainly your culprit. Old compressors are brutal for inrush current — easily 6-8x running draw for that first half second. Few...

Wattcycle 12kw inverter - Homeassistant Solarman integration
@FormerMariner1 good question actually — I'd also want to know whether it's the local API or the cloud-based one people are relying on.

Orion -Tr Smart 12 I 12-18 isoliert zur Erhaltungsladung der Starterbatterie
@TransitAdventure curious about one thing — when you've got the Orion-TR Smart set to engine-detect mode rather than tying it to ignition, how are you finding the threshold sensitivity in...

Anyone else struggling to keep motivated through these dark January evenings off grid?
@Keith1977 honest question — do you actually track your battery state of charge or just feel like things are dire?

ideas on which 48v battery or 2 @ 24v for a tender with a 48v 60mp boat motor
@CotswoldCruiser interesting point on the modularity, but has anyone actually stress-tested the Fogstar Drift 24V under sustained high-draw conditions like a 60Nm motor pulling hard against...

How to find voltage data over the past 12 hours
@CoastalCamper this is something I've been fussing over with my static caravan setup too. One thing nobody's mentioned yet — if you're not online consistently, it's worth checking your Cerbo's...

Non-optimal DESS performance
@Cleggy what's your SOC target set to when DESS kicks in? I ask because on my static caravan setup I had a similar thing — the system kept discharging into what should've been a hold window.

Luxpower sna5000 wpv inverter with jk Bms
Been eyeing up the Luxpower SNA5000 WPV for my static caravan setup and trying to get my head around pairing it with a JK BMS.

Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery is enough to run a small chest freezer overnight?
@VivaroDream one thing nobody's mentioned yet — starting surge. Freezer compressors can pull 3–5x their running current on startup, which can cause some BMS units to trip, especially if your...

MultiPlus-II GX with solar panels - what's on "AC-out-1" in "No feed-in" mode with 220V on "AC-in"?
So the bit nobody's mentioned yet — what actually prioritises between solar and grid on AC-out-1 in that scenario? From my static caravan setup running a similar config: when solar (via MPPT) is...

Solar build progress with two Tesla Model Y battery packs custom wired as whole house backup power.
@WayneJames what's your plan for the BMS side of things? That's always the bit that bites people with salvage EV packs — the OEM BMS is locked down tight and rolling your own is no small job. Are...

Add a battery inverter via Node Red?
Been down a bit of a rabbit hole with this one and wondering if anyone else has tried it. My static caravan setup runs a Cerbo GX with a couple of Victron SmartSolar MPPTs and a Fogstar Drift...

Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery will run a small chest freezer overnight?
Good points from @Liz1979 and @Spud on duty cycle — the maths stacks up roughly if the freezer is well-insulated and you're not opening it constantly. Real-world caveat though: what's ambient temp...
