  • Victron Connect stopped connecting?

    The victron connect app worked fine until my wife connected yesterday with her I phone. Now I get no devices in the device list. The smart shunt and controller are both pared. When I click on one of the pared devices, I get this: An app is needed to use this device. The app is running. I have...
  • Victron connect doesn't connect

    I hooked my new 100/50 today, entered 000000, bluetooth connected and now the 100/50 doesn't appear in the Victron Connect device list? I have a Samsung S10+. What am I missing?
  • Victron Phoenix 3000/12 hum?

    We purchased a new 2022 Outdoors RV 28BKS. So this is the new system: 1.64kw of panels, Victron 150/70 smart controller, Victron smart shunt, 600ah (3 206ah) SOK lithium (parallel), Victron Phoenix 3000/12 inverter, welding cables (<1% drop) and appropriate fuses/breakers/switches. Is it normal...
  • Synchronization?

    Background: 800 watts solar, 300 ah lithium, SmartSolar mppt 100/50 & SmartShunt HQ20517TBNS Issue: I forgot to switch our RV absorption fridge to propane last night (I'm 65) and as a result my inverter started squeaking this morning indicating low voltage cutoff is creeping near. So I checked...
  • Victron 100/50 always in bulk

    I have five 100w 12v panels, three SOK 100ah batteries, a Victron 100/50 controller and a Victron SmartShunt on the way. I installed the new controller and the SOKs last Wednesday. The controller has been in bulk mode since then. I'm in the SW Arizona desert for the winter and have used very...
  • 1st thread, Crown CR-260 charge parameter?

    I'm replacing my pair of 7 year old T105s with Crown CR-260s. Over the past few years, I have seen recommended charge voltages go up and down. Could anyone recommend "reliable" charge parameters? Crown's 14.2 recomendation might be ideal? But often with solar (boondocking) you need to get in...
  • Panel disconnect?

    I'm looking for a disconnect option between the 1.64kw panels and a Victron 250/100. I have the panels connected in series (four 410w, ~131v & 10amp). What are my options? This in our boondock camper.
  • Lithium & Morningstar TS-45?

    I have 500 panel watts, a Morningstar TS-45 (PWM), 2000 watt inverter and four 6 year old T105s. I purchased three 100ah SOKs to replace the tired T105s. I now have discovered setting the controller up for lithium is not as straight forward as one would expect. Is that possible? If so, should I...
  • 12v 50ah lithium?

    I'm looking for a 12v 50ah lithium battery with low temp cutoff. Any recommendations?
  • Victron controller running hot?

    I have a new Victron 250/100 controller (2ga welding cable in/out), three 206 SOKs (parallel), smart shunt, Victron Phoenix 3000/12v and four 410w panels in series. They are tilted and we are currently in the Arizona desert. We have a very nice sunny day today. I saw 141 volts and 94.6 amps on...
  • Victron Connect app not installing?

    I'm trying to update Victron Connect v5.97 arm7 to 5.99 arm7. I have a Samsung S10+. I get a incompatible app error message. I did the usual stuff yada yada yada, no joy. Anyone else have issues or some advice?
  • Victron Phoenix 12/3000 firmware update problem

    I would like to update the firmware to hopefully eliminate/reduce the inverter's hum (PIA) but works great. My inverter is not being detected? I plugged the MK3-USB cable in, turned inverter on and installed victron connect, inverter not detected. Of course. I then used CDM21228_Setup.exe to...
