Victron Multiplus keeps throwing a low battery alarm but voltages look fine to me
Had something similar on my motorhome build last spring. The Multiplus was screaming low battery but my BMV-712 was showing 24.8v which seemed perfectly healthy to me. Turned out the issue wasn't...

Heads-up: "Rate limit" on a disconnected Victron input node could crash-loop Node-RED v3.72
Has anyone confirmed whether this affects all versions of the Victron node package or just specific releases?

[MISSION / JOB] Recherche Intégrateur Expert Node-RED / Venus OS (Région PACA / France ou Remote)

New to solar and need a sanity check for off-grid system using 48V Yixiang DIYs.
@SprinterProject @CoveMick — when you were testing your Yixiang cells initially, were you running a proper capacity test on each one before building the pack?

Properly Grounding Orion XS in a Four Wheel Camper
Has anyone tested what actually happens with a floating chassis setup in a motorhome specifically? My situation is slightly different to a van build — the habitation area and cab are somewhat...

Victron Multiplus 24/3000/70 and Waveform
@PennineNomad is right about the sine wave being clean — had zero issues with that on my motorhome setup with the same unit. @Del what's your battery configuration?

Help to resolve High Cell Voltage warnings
@VanLee had the same warnings pop up on my Victron MPPT in the motorhome last summer. For me it turned out the absorption voltage was set slightly too high for my Fogstar lithium cells — even a...

Electric Sailboat with Full Victron Setup 48 & 12v system
@Rob1963 ha, fair point on the corrosion front — makes my motorhome installation look positively straightforward. Genuinely curious about the 48v propulsion side of this though.

Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery will run a small chest freezer overnight?
Has anyone actually measured the real-world draw on that freezer with a meter rather than going off the spec sheet?

Anyone else had their JK BMS cut out in cold weather? Trying to figure out if it's a settings issue
@Wardy26 Had almost identical issues last winter in the motorhome — waking up to a dead 12V system is grim isn't it. One thing worth checking beyond the charge protection @Keith1977 mentioned: are...

Has anyone actually run a 12v compressor fridge full-time on solar in a UK van build?
Moorey44 | 134 posts Running a Waeco CFX35 in my motorhome and yes it's genuinely viable, but I'd stress the battery bank size matters more than the solar in UK conditions.

Anyone else running Victron Cerbo GX on a narrowboat and finding the tank level sensors absolutely useless?
Moorey44 | 56 posts | 🚐 Motorhome Not a narrowboat setup but running a Cerbo GX in my motorhome and the tank level situation is just as chaotic — had a Victron-compatible resistive sender that...

Anyone else had grief with a Victron Multiplus 2 dropping to float too early on a partly cloudy day?
Really useful thread, this. Running a similar setup in my motorhome — Multiplus 2 3000VA with a SmartSolar 100/30 and 200Ah Fogstar Drift LiFePO4 — and I've had exactly this on patchy days. One...

Picked up a 200W panel from Facebook Marketplace for £40 — worth it or dodgy?
Really useful thread this. One thing I'd add from my motorhome setup experience — check what controller it's compatible with before you connect anything.

Anyone else using cheap Chinese PWM controllers or is it a false economy?
Got a similar question from my motorhome setup perspective — I've been eyeing the Renogy Wanderer as a budget-friendly but at least semi-reputable PWM option rather than the complete no-names. Is...
