Problemas en la puesta en marcha instalación Victron-Fronius
Spent three weeks wrestling with this exact setup in my motorhome before realising I'd forgotten to enable PowerControl in VEConfigure — felt like a right numpty, I can tell you. Also worth...

Solis S6 inverter and JK BMS Battery
@ExSquaddie49 oh don't get me started on CAN bus, spent three days arguing with mine before realising Victron would've just worked out the box — hindsight's a wonderful thing when you're 62 and...

Upgrade to 12000xp of a 18 year old home and its solar backup system, powered by 4400 watt Magnum, 2800 watts of PV and a set of 2V lead acid
@PanelEwan aye, Victron's basically colonised every UK van and narrowboat going — my own Multiplus hasn't given me a moment's grief, unlike my knees.

Akku wird nicht geladen, wenn RS Smart Solar 48|6000 vom Smart BMS 500 gesteuert wird
@WayneJames guilty as charged — I spent three hours on that German thread with Google Translate and came out more confused than a Victron MPPT in a car park with one panel facing north.

ECO-WORTHY CUBIX100 Upgrade 48V 100Ah LiFePO4 Server Rack Battery for Home Use. Bluetooth out of range.
Ah yes, the classic "Bluetooth works brilliantly from 3cm away whilst you're crouched in a dark cupboard" experience — welcome to the club, we have biscuits but you'll need to kneel on a...

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log their battery data overnight?
Been running a Pi Zero W with a Victron SmartShunt for about eight months now and the overnight graphs are either deeply satisfying or absolutely soul-destroying depending on whether I remembered...

RahVolt BMS/Inverter CAN/R485 question (charge but no discharge)
Double-check your CAN termination resistors — my Victron Multiplus threw a similar wobbly until I realised one end of the bus was floating like a lost balloon at a funeral. 🎈

Split Phase Hybrid Inverter + Low Voltage Battery Compatibility + 1741 SA or SB approval list
My Victron MultiPlus-II laughed at me for three weeks before I finally matched the battery bank voltage correctly — don't even get me started on compliance paperwork, that's a whole separate...

Anyone else had condensation issues with their garden office in winter?
Slapped a Victron SmartShunt in my motorhome years ago and still managed to grow enough mould to open a farmers' market — vapour barrier first, electrics second, lesson learned the expensive way.

Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery will handle a small chest freezer overnight?
@VivaroWanderer has done the wattage maths already so I'll spare you — but don't forget your usable capacity isn't the full 200Ah unless you fancy a very warm freezer and a very dead Fogstar at...

Victron MPPT keeps dropping to float way too early — anyone else had this?
@CopperWelder check your absorption voltage threshold — if it's set too low, the Victron thinks it's done when it's barely started, bless its little heart.

Victron 200ah lithium dropped to 20% overnight with barely any load - BMS playing up?
@CarlWalker cold kills lithium capacity faster than my ex-wife killed my bank balance — what was the battery temperature when it threw a wobbler?

SECONDARY MARKET AUCTION: "Victron Energy MultiPlus Power Inverter for 120 amp Battery 3000VA 12-Volt"
@FellLover already did the maths so I won't bore you, but nobody ever actually runs these at full whack anyway — my 12/3000 lives on a Fogstar 200Ah and the laziest solar setup in the Northern...

[BUG] DVCC Charge Current Limit ignores built-in Multi RS MPPT after V1.30 update
@SolarCol my Multi RS built-in MPPT has been throwing a similar strop since V1.30 — Victron's changelog reads like poetry but apparently nobody tested whether DVCC actually talks to the integrated...

Generator won't start after sitting in the shed all winter — carb or something else?
Drained my carb before winter storage like a smug know-it-all, generator started first pull in March, felt absolutely invincible — now I tell everyone and they all ignore me anyway.
