    Victron Lynx ...

    Are there any products in the lynx family that would provide a battery switch capability. I’ve seen people attach their blue sea switches but that sort of interrupts the “links” of the lynx, no?

    How much safer is 24v vs 48v ?

    What PPE should we be wearing in this context, in addition to safety glasses?

    VPOVH Batteries

    I was about to bite on this deal. Then I decided to check to see if the product had any ounce of credibility by comparing the volume of their 24v 280ah offering to the volume of 8 standard 280ah cells. Yeah. Turns out that the advertised volume of their "24v 280ah" battery is roughly 50% the...

    Zerobreeze AC unit

    Well, it's for my van, and I have 6.2 kwh of lithium and a 3000VA multiplus. The 10k unit I was looking at was just a portable one that you can plug into a 15A outlet. I decided to go with the chinese unit that runs on 24VDC.

    Zerobreeze AC unit

    Interesting idea. At this point, I've limited my options under consideration to either a roughly 10,000 BTU portable unit or a chinese 24VDC split unit that is specifically designed for trucks/automotive. I'm pretty sure I'm going to choose the chinese unit -- I'm willing to roll the dice for...

    Zerobreeze AC unit

    The newest version is significantly larger, and I've seen reports on other message boards that it does work for its 2500 btu output. The problem is that 2500 BTU may not be sufficient, and I've concluded that it definitely isn't for my application.

    Zerobreeze AC unit

    I think that’s the previous generation

    Zerobreeze AC unit

    Does anyone know anything about the Zerobreeze? Anyone own one? How’s the performance? I’m considering one for my van. Would love to hear any info!

    Strange Multiplus behavior

    I've now posted twice there without any response. Not sure what's going on with the Victron support. In the past, the community forum has always been very helpful.

    Strange Multiplus behavior

    I have a 24V Victron Energy Multiplus 3000 and am observing the following issues when connected to 15A shore power and with a 14A current limit on the Multiplus: 1. When there is only a small AC load of 60W or less, the Multiplus (MP) will consistently draw a predictable (and desirable) 1400W...

    Incinerating toilets

    My system can handle it easy, even without the battery upgrade, since I have EV charging and a 3000VA victron multiplus. Do you know how gross black tanks are? Plus, I spend nearly 100% of time boondocking, away from campgrounds. An incinerating system would be a total game changer -- no...

    Incinerating toilets

    Anyone know why we aren't seeing more incinerating toilets in vans and RV's, now that low cost lithium is putting the requisite power system within reach for many more builders? The incinolet has come down in price also -- I believe it was originally $4K, now $2K. I'm definitely installing it...
