I'm rebuilding my power plugs and trying to find info on how the EV L2 chargers work and if there's a possibility to add a pair of J1772 plugs for charging my Lithium banks as well as a J1772 outlet for charging EV vehicle from my RV. I believe the J1772 requires some handshake and isn't...

30 320w renogy solar panels at an auction. Brand new $3000. I picked up 2 more at another auction last month. Looks like I have a new project on my hands.... now wondering if I should swap out my 100w panels on the rv, plus fill the trailer or just put them all on my house???

I'm in the middle of setting up inverter3 and just saw this option. I also just updated my VEconfig so maybe its been there a while. Been waiting for this feature as the coach sits in my driveway and seems odd its always at 100% and pulling from shore when its nice and sunny out. Before I...

One of the biggest features with Victron inverters is I'm able to limit my input to under 15a especially when home as I can park my rig further from the house. Also my other houses have 15a at the street so it's simple. If I go 50amp split phase using dual inverters would I lose this...

I have 2 400AH 12V EG4-LL batteries the original. Apparently the BMS firmware can't be updated and according to the BMStools I have D-4S400AH-P00-ZTR-V1.0 models. I've been having major issues where whenever I put any decent load my voltages drop and everything resets in my RV. In such I've...

As u start my 1st home build is there a good AIO inverter that'll double as a UPS with enterprise type features? Mainly power conditioning and instant switchover to batteries? Something that you'd be comfortable protecting a million dollar server array and outage would cost thousands an hour...

I don't have a shower in my RV yet and plan on adding soon along with a hot water heater. I seem to make quite a bit of excess solar and have seen others use their excess solar to heat their water tanks. The problem is I take showers in the morning so the water would likely need to stay warm...

I need help with some out of the box different ideas on how to best optimize my current system to fit our needs. We use this coach a bit differently than most as we typically do day trips or weekend camps. Usually we'll drive a couple hours to an all day auction or amusement park then either...

I'll have 2 5000w Victron Quattro inverters setup in split phase 240V (lets call Red and Black), then will have a 3rd 5000w Victron Quattro inverter (lets call Blue) as a secondary system for some redundancy. The plan is to have the 240V inverters power 3/4 of the coach then the other 1/4 will...

this is on an RV roof. I currently have 2 parallel groups of 5 panels in series and am adding an additional 6 panel group. All are the exact same Renogy 100w panel with info below. All plug into a Victron 150/100 MPPT. Does it matter that one group will have a potentially higher voltage...

Anyone know of a cheap 120v ac to 48v dc charger with lithium profile I could wire up as a backup? I don't think I'd ever use it but figured its good to have

I have a 20k gallon pool and looking to keep it warmer during the summer and hopefully get a few more days. Picked up an electric 24kw heater but needs 4ga 240 wiring. I'm wondering if there might be a better heater type to just run solar panels to an electric heater inline? I don't want to...

I have a pair of 12V EG4-LL batteries and when trying to run 1 AC unit it drops from 13V to close to 9V which restarts my entire system since i get a low voltage error. I have a Victron Quattro 5000 inverter and even tried a sungoldpower 4000w inverter but same issues. I don't have smart...

Newbie to the house side of things and sitting on these 10k of solar panels so might as well tie into grid. My homes electricity co-op has net metering and I don't care about power loss as its super stable and i have an RV and other homes. Energy usage is on average 2500kWh and bill total is...

Ever since I picked up these 2 rack batteries I've been having minor issues. I got the EG4-LL 1st revision which apparently can't be firmware updated or anything. I think the BMS was rated for only 50amps but SS setup it to allow 200amps as anytime I put a decent load from the inverter my...

I decided to put my cerboGX on the exterior of my coach as I don't really have much use for it since I can just use my phone. The touch part of it only sometimes works so kinda pointless anyways but I realized since its waterproof I can just put it outside and when plugging in be certain I know...

I'm about to add solar to an enclosed trailer with a small 12V system in there using 4 spare GC2 batteries I have lying around. plan on having the solar plugged into my 48V RV lithium system when connected but then plugged into the trailer system when its disconnected. This way I can charge...

I have 2-12v EG4 batteries with 100a BMS each but can't start an RV ac unit with it. Softstarts would help but doesn't really solve the issue. I don't really need capacity but seems the only way to fix this is to add batteries and I'd like 400a discharge. If I get another battery with a...

My understanding is victron support is only through its distributors. Like a newbie I bought my 12v Quattro 5000 on Amazon from brandcentric and think it finally died. I've been having issues with it pulling 12v loads when it's set to passthru and now it appears to be finally dead. No lights...

I'm about to start my 48V addition and need some double checking and ideas. Currently I have all Victron: CerboGX with 50touch, 150/100 MPPT, Lynx, power in, 2x Lynx Distribution, Lynx shunt all 1000a. Smartshunt 500a, 12V Quattro 5000w 120V inverter, 48V Quattro 5000w 120V inverter...

My coach is different than most, it was setup to run a lot of equipment for trainings so I have a TON of outlets and 6 rooftop AC units all setup to run off the 20Kw genset. I have 2 inverters a 12V quattro 5000 and a 48v quattro 5000 each with 2 5kw rack batteries and a cerboGX with their own...

On my RV I have my panels at a decent angle where its attached on one side then I have threaded rod in the middle where it attaches to connected to angle aluminum secured to the panels. Works great with only one side of the panels but I'm not sure how to attach it so I can have solar on both...

I have 2 completely isolated systems one 12V and other 48V, have the 48V system connected to the 12V inverter to charge but the entire communications systems are separated. Ones completely in a rear bay and other is in the front bumper. Lastnight at 10:04pm got an error saying no data from...

I have 18 of these renogy 100w panels in 6s3p. Voc is 24.3 each so 145.8v should be the max right? Hooked up to my 150/100 Victron mppt and today got multiple high voltage errors when driving and solar was odd since battery was full. It was during heavy rain with complete cloud coverage...

My current setup is 2x400ah EG4 12V batteries with a Victron Quattro 12/5000/120V inverter and I just bought a Quattro 48/5000/120V inverter and plan on buying 2x100ah EG4 48V batteries. This is for a Prevost RV. The plan is to run both inverters on separate battery banks (with 12V also...

My coach came with a 50dn alternator and the faceplate is kinda rusted but it clearly stated 270 amps. My understanding is the 50dn comes in 300a 12v or 270a 24v but it was obviously setup for only 12v. I hooked up a wakespeed ws500 and it also shows its 12v (auto selected 12v voltage)...

I have a 50DN industrial alternator designed to pump out 270a 24V continuously and is oil cooled. Currently disconnected but plan on connecting to my 24V chassis alternator (70a) and 24V starter battery system (4 12v batteries in series/parallel. This connects using a 2/0 gauge wire running...

Is there some type of lumen meter or tool or anything that measure how much potential solar I'd get at a certain spot? If I have a few houses and they all have oddly shaped roofs and no obvious ideal spot, how best can I estimate output and properly size the array?

Bought 8/22 for 3479.90 and works great. Just need 2 24V of the same model for a new RV build since alternator is 24V now. Does have some scratches on case from moving around. Make me an offer and will ship asap. https://www.amazon.com/Victron-Energy-Chgr-Quattro-5000W/dp/B01F7IJ2LC?th=1

Should I have my shore ground and breakers and other things grounded to the RV's frame or directly to the ground wiring? My coach is stainless steel including half of the outside and once while camping we cracked our 50a shore cable end but still used it not realizing how cracked it was. Well...
