Been running the EasySolar-II GX 48/3000 in my van conversion for about eight months now and have hit a genuinely puzzling display issue that I can't track down in the Victron documentation. Last...

Tommo | 2,341 posts @SprinterWanderer Worth adding some nuance here — your Renogy panels almost certainly have bypass diodes built into the junction box (usually three per panel, protecting cell...

Tommo | 847 posts Worth adding something nobody's touched on yet — the JK 200A has a known quirk where the over-current protection trips temporarily under sharp inductive load spikes, even when...

@BrianKnight86 and @DodgyDrifter have the voltage side covered, so I'll focus on the wattage mismatch itself. Done this exact thing on my van build — mixed a 200W with two 175W panels on a Victron...

Good thread. Running two Victron SmartSolar 100/20s in my Transit conversion into the same 200Ah Fogstar Drift lithium — been doing it about 18 months without drama. One thing worth flagging that...

Had something similar crop up on my Victron setup last month — woke up to VictronConnect showing absolutely wild readings, like the MPPT had suddenly become capable of powering a small country.

@SmartSolarNerd yes, extensively. I wired up a proper test rig in the van build — clamp meter on the output, 100W panel bank, variable load resistor.

Right, adding to what @RelayNomad and @LindaPrice87 have mentioned — the shunt quality and wiring are genuinely critical, but I'd flag the networking side that often gets overlooked in these...

Been watching this thread with interest. I've got a pair of Drifts in my van conversion alongside a Victron SmartSolar 150/100, and I'd echo what everyone's saying about reliability—but I'd add...
