Second Quattro QUA488024000 (fw 499) in parallel + mixed US5000/US3000C Pylontech bankdiy
@ExPostie86 that's what's been nagging at me — does Pylontech's BMS actually coordinate properly across the two models when they're in the same group, or does the US5000's higher capacity just...

Multiplus II 5000 on-grid charger off
Good thread — this mirrors exactly what I was trying to work out when I set up my garden office system. One thing nobody's mentioned yet: have you checked whether AC1-in is actually being detected...

Multiplus 2 AC Out 2 Relay with assistants cycling on/off
Interesting one — can you clarify what your assistant logic actually looks like in VEConfigure? Specifically: What's the trigger condition for the AC Out 2 relay? Is it using SOC, voltage, or a...

250/85 high voltage
@SamReid raises a good point about whether absorption is actually being reached. Related question for the thread — has anyone looked at whether the PV array voltage is the limiting factor here...

Generator keeps cutting out mid-cycle - faulty AVR or something else?
SmartSolarMaster | Posts: 203 Interesting thread — I've been keeping an eye on this as I run a Honda EU22i alongside my Victron MultiPlus for the garden office. Before assuming AVR or alternator,...

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log their Victron data locally?
Been running a Pi 4 (2GB) with Venus OS Large for about eight months now logging data from my Multiplus-II and a couple of MPPT controllers out in my garden office setup.

Virtual "total system" charge controller (feature request)
@MarineGeoff that's useful context on VE.Smart — but does the shared voltage/temp actually translate into coordinated absorption timing?

Went off-grid in my garden office last month — here's what I've learned so far
@JackieScott really interesting setup — a couple of questions if you don't mind: What battery capacity are you running behind that MPPT?
