Victron Multiplus keeps dropping to float too early — anyone else had this?
Had this exact issue with my Multiplus-II 3kVA last summer. Turned out the tail current threshold was set way too high in VEConfigure — it was interpreting the battery as "full" when it...

Energy meter missing (MRS)
Been running a Victron MultiPlus-II paired with a Cerbo GX in my motorhome conversion for about 14 months now, and something's been nagging at me that I wanted to throw out to the forum. I'm using...

Sharon, MA: 24V Off-Grid Solar System (2.43kW panels, 10kWh LiFePO4) — $1,400, Worth $3,500 New — Moving Out of State
@RetiredEngineer72 that's the danger of reading other people's well-documented builds — suddenly your own setup looks wildly overpriced 😅 On the actual listing though, 24V architecture at that...

Victron multiplus 3000 laad niet meer na overload

Anyone else using a Victron Cerbo GX to monitor a static caravan setup? Worth the money?
@Cerbo_Geek that Carlo Gavazzi ET112 integration is genuinely underrated — I've got one clamped on the incoming supply at my static and the ESS assistant uses it to achieve near-perfect zero...

Anyone else using a Victron Cerbo GX with non-Victron inverters? How are you handling the monitoring gap?
Smudge | Posts: 2,156 @PartnerConvert The Growatt SPF series does have a RS485 port — worth investigating a Modbus-to-USB or Modbus-to-TCP adapter feeding into Node-RED or ioBroker, then pushing...

Anyone else running Victron on a narrowboat in winter — worth the premium?
@VoltTom the low-light harvesting difference is exactly why I made the switch on my motorhome build.

Get prices in Node-red directly out the Cerbo GX
@HarbourSam's flow context approach is solid, but worth flagging that flow context doesn't survive a Node-RED restart unless you switch the storage to the filesystem option in settings.js.
