Anyone else using cheap Chinese PWM controllers or is it false economy?
@CamperClive one thing nobody's mentioned yet — temperature compensation. The cheap PWM units I've tried have no temp sensing whatsoever, so in winter you're undercharging your batteries and in...

Victron Multiplus tripping out when microwave kicks in — is it the surge?
Had this exact issue last year with my Multiplus 2 (3kVA). Microwave was constantly tripping it out — turned out to be a combination of the surge and the PowerAssist settings not being configured...

Victron BMV-712 showing different SOC to my BMS — which one do I trust?
