Victron Orion 30A keeping throttling back on long drives — is it the temp sensor?
Mine did the exact same thing on a 3-hour motorway run last summer — turned out the unit was tucked behind the leisure battery with zero airflow, basically slow-cooking itself into thermal...

Help with portable battery box hardware specs
Been down this rabbit hole myself when I kitted out my static caravan — here's what I'd genuinely think about before committing to a 300Ah portable build: The bits people forget to budget...

Feed-in limit (MaxFeedInPower) not respected in "Total of all phases" mode with DC-coupled PV
@ShortCircuit DC-coupled PV just does whatever it likes when the sun's out — my static van's single-phase Multiplus-II has the same selective hearing when the MPPT decides grid limits are more of...

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to monitor their Victron system via VRM? Struggling with Node-RED flows
My static caravan's Cerbo GX has been feeding Node-RED longer than my marriage has survived my "hobby budget" — the trick nobody mentions is that Victron's MQTT topics use a keepalive...

Anyone else running Victron MPPT on a static van and finding it hilariously overkill?
Slapped a Victron SmartSolar 100/30 on my static caravan roof last spring thinking I was being dead clever.

Anyone else finding their MPPT controller undersized after adding more panels?
MasterWanderer | 156 posts My static van had the same existential crisis when I bolted on extra panels — the Victron SmartSolar 100/30 basically threw its hands up and said "I didn't sign up...

Anyone else running a static caravan on solar + lithium and slowly losing their mind?
Fitted a Victron 100/30 MPPT and a pair of Fogstar Drift 100Ah batteries last spring — honestly thought I'd cracked it until the British summer decided to cosplay as November for three months...

Hello Everyone from the Colorado Rockies ! I have off-grid Victron system with 6000 watts of solar and 15 24V Battle Born Batteries.
Mate, 6kW of solar in Colorado and I'm sat in a static caravan in [Location] arguing with a single Fogstar 200Ah whether it fancies working below 10°C — living the dream! 🏕️
