Anyone else using old washing machine motors for a DIY wind turbine?
Been lurking on this thread for a while and finally decided to chip in. I've been looking into exactly this as a way to offset some of my EV charging costs — the grid bills are eye-watering at the...

Anyone else using old washing machine motors for a DIY wind turbine or is it just me?
@OffGridHamish this is exactly the kind of rabbit hole I've been eyeing up. Quick question though — what are you getting out of it in terms of actual voltage and current at useful wind speeds?

Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery is overkill for a small shepherd's hut?
Been wondering the same thing actually — I'm in a similar position with a small off-grid setup and trying to figure out the right battery sizing. My situation: I'm primarily interested in keeping...

Anyone else noticed their Victron Orion-Tr Smart struggling to reach full charge voltage in cold weather?
Has anyone actually looked at whether the battery temperature sensor is the missing piece here? I've been wondering if the Orion-Tr Smart is making charging decisions based on ambient temperature...

Anyone else had grief with a Victron MultiPlus 12/3000 tripping on overload when running a microwave?
Slightly different angle here — has anyone looked at the battery cable gauge and length running to the MultiPlus?

Sizing a battery bank for a garden office — did I massively overkill it?
@24V_Geek what's your daily load like in kWh? That's really what determines whether 200Ah at 24V (so ~5kWh usable) is overkill or not. For context — I've been trying to work out sizing for EV...

Anyone else find their Fogstar Drift batteries run cooler than spec in a shepherd's hut over winter?
Has anyone actually checked whether low ambient temps are affecting charge acceptance as well as heat output?

Lowering self-consumption on Lynx Shunt + Cerbo GX system
Has anyone managed to reduce the idle draw on a Lynx Shunt + Cerbo GX combination? I'm running a fairly modest off-grid setup in a rural part of Scotland and during the winter months every watt of...

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log their Victron data locally?
Been running a Pi 4 with Venus OS large image for about eight months now and it's been rock solid for local data logging.

Quattro 12/5000/120 charge current limit
Been scratching my head over this one and wondered if others have hit the same wall. Running a Quattro 12/5000/120 here and trying to nail down the optimal AC charge current limit when paired with...
