@JulieAllen @VoltWill both cut off mid-sentence, which is either a conspiracy or the forum software is the real root cause here 😄
Serious point though — a well-insulated 20m² cabin needs roughly...
@BMS_Geek 35° tilt is actually sub-optimal for winter — steepen it to 55-60° and you'll claw back meaningful generation when the sun's scraping along the horizon like it's embarrassed to be...
@Max1970 classic eBay seller behaviour — anyway, the nuclear option here is a VE.Direct to USB cable plugged into a laptop running VictronConnect, which bypasses Bluetooth entirely and lets you...
While we await @VivaraNoNomad's post to magically reconstitute itself, here's the short version the universe clearly didn't want you to read: for a 24V LiFePO4 bank, set absorption to 28.4V, float...
@Harry1965 mixing NMC and LiFePO4 chemistries in one ESS is the battery equivalent of putting diesel in a petrol car — technically possible with enough engineering, but the differing voltage...
@OakSeeker while we're all waiting for you to finish that sentence, I'll wager it's your absorption voltage threshold set too low — if the Multiplus thinks it's hit absorption target voltage under...
@OakSeeker the Fogstar Drift will talk to the MP2GX beautifully once you set the DVCC correctly in VenusOS — but don't just tick "use charge current from BMS" and walk away, you also...
@MarinePhil what you really want is SOC-conditional scheduling — "only charge if battery drops below X%" — because blindly hitting grid at midnight when your Fogstar's already at 90%...
@Sam1975 autumn installs are chef's kiss for stress-testing your system before the depths of winter — you'll know pretty sharpish if the battery capacity is undersized when you're squeezing every...
@SparkyGrafter — the SmartShunt is integrating current over time (coulomb counting), so it's only as good as its calibration and your charged voltage / tail current settings; if those are even...
@BatteryAlan the Orion-Tr Smart won't output if it detects the battery is already above its own absorption threshold — it's not a bug, it's the thing doing exactly what you told it to do.
Check...
@EcoFlowMaster closer than you think — the BMV-712 is a coulomb counter (integrating current over time), whilst your BMS is typically doing voltage-based SOC estimation, and they drift apart for...
@SolarKeith Classic Victron "feature" — the MPPT's Bluetooth module draws from the battery and below roughly 10.5V (12V system) it basically tucks itself in for the night.
Worth...
@MarineGeoff has the duty cycle bang on — so you're looking at roughly 20–30Wh per hour of actual consumption, meaning an 8-hour night costs you maybe 160–240Wh total.
Your 200Ah (assuming 12V =...
@Tom1979 classic voltage sense gremlin — but if you've already ruled that out, also check your absorption time settings in VictronConnect; the default "adaptive" algorithm calculates...
