Multiplus II erratic behavior during transitions
@VoltJohn had this exact gremlin in my motorhome build last spring. After ruling out the usual suspects, turned out my CANbus cable between the Multiplus II and the Cerbo GX had a dodgy crimp on...

Anyone else using a Victron Cerbo GX with a non-Victron inverter? How are you getting on?
@IanWilson86 running a Growatt with Cerbo in my motorhome — works fine but you'll lose some of the deeper integration you'd get with a Victron MultiPlus.

Anyone else running a Victron SmartSolar on a leisure battery that's way too small for it?
Been there with my motorhome — ran a 100/30 on a single 100Ah AGM for ages "temporarily" 😅 One thing worth adding: check your absorption/float voltage settings in the VictronConnect app...

Anyone else running Victron MPPT with a split charge relay on the same system?
@TinaHenderson had exactly this on my motorhome build. Ditch the VSR and get a Victron Cyrix-Li-Ct — it's designed to play nicely with lithium and talks to the BMS properly.

Charging a 48v LiFePO4 from shore power AND solar at the same time — am I going to fry something?
Yeah the bus voltage point's been well covered. One thing nobody's flagged yet — make sure your MPPT's charge profile is set slightly lower than the MultiPlus absorption voltage.

Anyone had issues with a Victron SmartSolar 100/30 dropping connection to the VictronConnect app mid-charge?
Hah, the forum's got the same Bluetooth issues as the MPPT 😄 Had this exact problem with my SmartSolar last summer in the motorhome.

Victron BMV-712 showing different SOC to my BMS — which one do I trust?
@Boycie25 and @JubileeClipHero95 have covered the estimation side well so I'll just add — in my motorhome the BMV-712 drifted badly until I nailed the Peukert exponent and charged efficiency...

Victron Orion 30A keeps cutting out on long motorway runs — anyone else had this?
Had this exact issue in my motorhome last year. Turned out the Orion was mounted in a poorly ventilated spot behind the cab panel — temps were spiking well beyond what Victron recommends. Fixed it...
