The inrush current probably triggered the BMS and the BMS disconnected the cells. Use a resistor or a 12V bulb to charge up the inverter capacitors before connecting it to the battery.

Probably your batteries are fully charged around 1pm? This is my one: fully charged around 9am

Yes, that is the correct way to do it.

You need a new solar charge controller

20 - 30% saving on a system is a good deal

This is our inverter's power graph. When the fridge starts there is a 776W spike, and 100W constant until the compressor stops. The freezer is the similar with only 180W spike and 75W until the compressor stops. The fridge is a full size household one and the freezer is an under counter one.

Sorry to tell you but this tool is already available from China. ;)

Labeeman posted a link with a 5KW Growatt off grid inverter https://www.signaturesolar.us/products/5kw-48w-240vac-80a-off-grid-inverter-by-growatt

JST PH 4Pin 2.0mm connector

If it is connected to a Cerbo gx or any other gx device and logged in in VRM then you can see history.

This is probably much cheaper than recycling. What can go wrong with a wind turbine blade to make it useless?

I think this panel is a good choice: https://autosolar.es/panel-solar-24-voltios/panel-solar-450w-24v-monocristalino-era - Voltaje a máxima potencia (VMP): 41,5V - Corriente a máxima potencia (IMP): 10,85A - Voltaje en circuito abierto (VOC): 49,3V - Corriente en cortocircuito (ISC): 11,60A -...

Yes. 295.8V open circuit voltage and 5400W max, you will be within the specifications (120V-450V and 6000W)

yes

If your phone is connected to the internet when you try to connect using the VictronConnect app then the app can check the latest version before allowing the connection...

You can over panel Victron solar charge controllers, it will limit the charging current to the max designed amps or you can lower the charging amps in the settings. My two 100/30 connected to 1200W solar panels each, the 100/50 connected to 1620W solar panels. No problem at all. Running like...

If your system is 24V then your problem is the Renogy batteries can not be connected series: DO NOT string the battery in series. It is made ONLY for 12V parallel connections using the batteries of the same manufacturer and model.

Happy new year! If you are using the Victron Connect app then click on the VRM (next to Local) then on the Venus GX then Devices -> all connected devices will show up here. To resolve the charging issue you need a windows computer. If your system is registered on the Victron VRM portal you can...

Use hot glue on the connections instead of silicone.

The charge disconnect will not damage the charger.

Buy a second solar charge controller for the other solar panel

Series only is probably a mistake. Parallel only because the FETs in the BMS can not handle the higher voltage.

Yes. The Multiplus will accept a non inverter generator with the output voltage between 180V - 265V and the frequency between 45Hz - 65Hz

Having a back up plan to heat your house is a good idea. Not enough solar power combined with grid failure / shut down by the "brilliant" rolling black out government plan will let you without heating this winter.

Every single Victron product I have (4 SCC, 2 battery to battery charger, a Multiplus inverter/charger, all the Victron communication cables) are made in India. :sneaky:

Victron use external BMS (except on the new smart batteries I think), no current going trough the BMS

You can kill a battery with salt water or fresh water . A 12V battery can not kill you if you submerging it in water. 12V is not enough force to push enough current trough your body to kill you.

I will connect all 4 batteries together and connect the battery bank to the inverter/charger the solar charger and the 12V system.

The charging limit less than 14.6V will stop it.
