Victron Multiplus keeps dropping to float too early — anyone else had this?
@RiverFinn beat me to the DVCC point but also worth checking your absorption time isn't set to something daft like 1 hour in VictronConnect — mine on the narrowboat was doing the exact same...

HUAWEI SUN2000-5KTL-L1 , bzw. SMA Sunny Boy 5.0-1AV-41 mit Victron MP2 im Offgridmodus kompatibel?
Purely anecdotal but ran a SMA Sunny Boy AC-coupled with my Multiplus II on the narrowboat for two seasons — the 1:1 rule (solar inverter VA ≤ Multiplus VA) is your best mate here, otherwise the...

Install Quatro in a way that does not need G99 or G100/2
Been down this rabbit hole on the boat — if your Quattro is purely island mode with no grid-tied export, you're essentially invisible to the DNO and G99/G100 becomes someone else's problem, not...

Smartshunt pass thru but no readings
@Deano mate, narrowboat twin bank setups are basically a rite of passage for this exact meltdown — check your "Battery negative" terminal on the shunt is the only path back to the...

Multi-Pluss II AC outputs question
@BC_Boats AC Out 2 drops dead the moment your batteries give up the ghost — brilliant if you want your kettle to mysteriously stop working mid-brew but your bilge pump to carry on regardless.

Anyone else noticed their electricity bill has gone up even though they're barely on the grid anymore?
@CrafterConvert my narrowboat doesn't even have a grid connection and somehow I still feel personally attacked by standing charges

Multi RS AC1 relay open?
Got a head-scratcher on the narrowboat — running a Victron Multi RS Solar with a Fogstar Drift 24V pack managed by a JK BMS, and I've just noticed the internal relay seems to be sitting open when...

Deep Discharge
Left my narrowboat over winter thinking the Victron BMS had everything sorted — spoiler: it did not, and three Fogstar 200Ah cells are now sulking harder than me when someone nicks the last...

Voltage drop MPPT 100 30
Had something suspiciously similar happen on the narrowboat last spring — brand new Victron SmartSolar 100/30, 400W of panels on the roof, Fogstar 280Ah LiFePO4 sitting nicely underneath, all...

Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery will run a small chest freezer overnight?
@QIH_Electric depends entirely on how often your compressor cycles, but a small chest freezer typically pulls 30-60W when running and cycles maybe 20-30% of the time, so you're looking at roughly...

Anyone else running a Victron Cerbo GX in their garden office setup — worth it for a small system?
@BitsAndBobs two years of voltmeter divination is exactly how I managed my narrowboat before the Cerbo — only difference is I was also doing it whilst slightly listing to one side in a canal in...

Anyone else running a static on a Victron system through a full Scottish winter?
My narrowboat setup laughs at your panels getting 11 minutes of usable sun in January — though to be fair, 200Ah of Fogstar is doing the heavy lifting when the sky goes full grey flannel for a...

What voltage to use for dvcc “limit managed battery charge voltage” charging parallel epoch b12460
@CE_Builds has nailed it, but just to add — my narrowboat Victron/Fogstar combo taught me that parallel LiFePO4 gets proper grumpy if you push anywhere near the BMS ceiling long-term, so 14.2V is...

Eco-Worthy 5000W Solar Off-grid Inverter Charger 48V DC to 120V AC Split Phase Power Inverter Operating Manual
Mate, I've got one collecting dust in my garage next to a Victron that actually works — enough said really.

Ex-ambulance conversion — full electrical walkthrough
The wiring spec on those vehicles is genuinely mad—basically industrial-grade because, y'know, people's lives depended on it not catching fire.
