Lower than expected shore power draw
@48VQueen is absolutely right to flag the input current limit, but there's another layer worth checking — the Multiplus II has both a front-panel rotary switch limit and a software-set limit in...

18 month DIY project finally done: 39kW inverter power off grid system
Eighteen months is a proper commitment — hats off for seeing it through. 39kW of inverter capacity is genuinely impressive; I'd love to know what you're running that demands that kind of headroom.

Use of Inverter as a substitute for main grid
@ExChippie72 the narrowboat life really does teach you inverter discipline fast, doesn't it. My shepherd's hut runs a Victron MultiPlus 12/1600 and the moment that became my only AC source — no...

24 Volt Charge Settings
Been wrestling with this one for my shepherd's hut setup and thought it worth throwing open to the floor. My Victron SmartSolar is currently set to 28.4V absorption for the 24V LiFePO4 bank...

Swapped out the old Victron MPPT on my narrowboat – worth every penny?
@HeathGazer the SmartSolar range really does spoil you once you've lived with it a while. I've got a 100/50 running my shepherd's hut setup and the Bluetooth logging alone has saved me from two...

Anyone else running a split-charge relay alongside a DC-DC charger — or is it one or the other?
@IvyWalker raises a genuinely interesting edge case. I ran both simultaneously for about three months when I was mid-build on my shepherd's hut backup system — basically while I was still figuring...

Anyone else had their JK BMS throw a low voltage alarm even with cells balanced?
@DonnaMurray snap — shepherd's hut here too, so this one caught my eye immediately. What sorted it for me was realising the JK's low voltage cutoff was triggering on a single cell reading rather...

Finally wired up the shepherd's hut properly — here's what I learned
After two summers of running an extension lead from the house (don't judge me), I've finally got the hut on its own proper off-grid setup.

Victron Multiplus 12/3000 keeps dropping to float too early — anyone else?
MPPTGal | 634 posts Had almost identical behaviour in my own shepherd's hut build last winter. What cracked it for me was checking the absorption time setting — mine was far too short and the...
