    Victron Smart Dongle with 2 Multiplus

    I made it back! Googling other issues brought me back to my own thread! Thanks, we are enjoying the bluebird. Victron continues to confound me, but we are making it through. Trying to connect the CCGX to a wireless router and hopefully using an Amazon fire to connect to the multi plus so I can...

    12v Dual Inverter System review

    Thanks again for everyones help! My system is up and running and I’m happy with the results. One thing I would like to add is a remote display for the CCGX. I’ve been researching this but I just get confused. What I would like: 1. A remote display by the driver. Currently the CCGX is in the...

    12v Dual Inverter System review

    after some searching around, I think I figured this out. On the CC GX, under settings, I enabled "DVCC". In the DVCC menu, there is an option to turn on STS (Shared Temperature Sense"). I did this. Now I can read the battery temp sensor (connected to the BMV-702) from the Victron Connect...

    12v Dual Inverter System review

    I installed a LiFePO4 battery to my inverters and solar charge controller using the Victron Lynx. Everything appears to be working good, but I still have concerns about the low temp cutoff. As a review, my system is set up is: (1) Victron CCGX (2) Multiplus 13/3000/120 - Connected to CCGX via...

    12v Dual Inverter System review

    Thank you sharing for your wealth of knowledge, it’s been very helpful. I will just run with what I got. I think it will work for what I need.

    12v Dual Inverter System review

    I’m full of ignorance, so I hope another question won’t hurt. Is there any way to convert my 12v Victron Multiplus inverter to 24v? I’ve been thinking about selling my inverters and buying 24v versions, but it would be nice if I could just convert the ones I have. Thanks!

    12v Dual Inverter System review

    One more question, unrelated. Once I add my lithium batteries, my solar will only charge those, and in turn the lithium will only be used for the inverter. I have several other batteries in my Motorhome. House batterie, engine start batteries, and generator start batteries. All 12v AGM. The...

    2 Victron Multiplus 12 / 3000 / 120 for trade

    This is a long shot, but I thought I would at least try. I have two Victron Multiplus 12 / 3000 / 120 inverters for trade. Detroit area. Purchase in Fall of 2000 and very lightly used. I‘m wondering if anyone would be interested in trading for the same in 24 or 48v? (two Multiplus in either...

    12v Dual Inverter System review

    Thanks! I also have a Victron BMV 702 shunt and CCGX, so it sounds like it’s in the realm of possibilities. The batteries will be located inside the Motorhome in a closet, so the chances of them being used in colder temps without the heat on are pretty small to zero. I’ll still use temp sensors...

    12v Dual Inverter System review

    Thank you again for all the replies, it’s very helpful. I’ll avoid wiring up independent circuits, and I’ll add th switch to the battery bank. I’m still trying to work out everything else, starting with figuring out the actual use case of this all. I can’t imagine I will use 6000w at once when...

    12v Dual Inverter System review

    As far as BMS, I haven’t bought anything yet. But I was thinking about Amperetime 12v 100Ah battery with 100 amp continuous output. I know these don’t have a low temp cutoff, so I was hoping to use that functionality in the Victron inverters and MPPT.

    12v Dual Inverter System review

    Thanks for the replies! I’m concerned enough to start looking at alternatives now. existing solar is 4 Canadian solar CS6U-340M 340 watt panels, wired in 2s2p…I think? 2 panels wired in series, parallel with the other 2 other panels. This feeds a combiner box then goes to a Victron MPPT 150/100...

    12v Dual Inverter System review

    Hello, I purchased a class A motorhome with an existing Solar and Inverter system, but no effective battery bank. The house batteries are connected but they are about 15 feet away and using a 4awg wire, so they can run the AC refrigerator but not much more. I am finally ready to install...

    Victron Smart Dongle with 2 Multiplus

    I am the proud owner of an older Wanderlodge Motorhome and I’m trying to come to grips with the Solar / Inverter system. I have: (2) Victron Multiplus 12/ 3000/ 120 Inverter chargers, currently in split phase configuration. Color control GX and BMV 702 Victron MPPT 150 100 TR (linked to 4...
