Long shot, but can anyone recommend an electrician who can help/install Victron Multiplus, ac coupled solar, 400Ah lithium. I could do it, but there are these passwords? AS applicable setups? Anyway, thanks in advance.

I bolt mine down cos' they keep getting stolen.

Suppliers on the internet give the impression their corner mounts are the thing to use because they won't be liable. Heaps of stuff flies off vehicles all the time, rubbish from trailers, surfboards, tradies timber, whatever. It's sad but cars crash from hitting animals too especially in...

It is made in India.

The Birds are out, the flowers are out but we can't go anywhere! Time for some cable tidying up..

yes. $4. its a 5 prong board the size of your little finger with a usb on the other end. I got it from banggood, or Aliexpress. I just ran the wires from the mk3 to the Rpi usb via the board and voila. No trannies, or resistors. The Victron serial is ground and TX,RX. that's it. I got it from...

Should visit Vietnam (prob the same in Central America) They fix EVERYTHING. There is a guy who can fix an umbrella. another who can vulcanise a tyre. Recondition the head on your motorbike (inc weld) all on the footpath. They come and visit you.

Then you would go " gee, this city living' is shit" and go back to the bush!

Victron easy solar.

in the 70's manuals would tell you how to adjust the valves on your car. Now they tell you not to drink the battery fluid. That said.. I label cables when building 'cos I've fried gear not concentrating (just got home from work) Double check. Don't be in a rush! I've been very keen to get it to...

It probably doesn't supply enough current to warrant a regulator and will sit at batt volts. Might be good to have running o/night.
