    Wait for the Orion XS1400 if that's what it remains named as! 12/24V upto 50A as well, and other tricks up its sleeves!
  • Post in thread: Victron app status question!!

    Ha ha and further down the rabbit hole! I already have the panels, just waiting on the roof bars to arrive next week. Maybe I’ll raise it in the Victron Community and see what they say, TBH the controller was cheap from the bay but appears to be real and was NIB. It also works very simply in...

    And found the answer!
  • Post in thread: Adding a 3rd Solar panel running out of power!

    I have a similar set up in some ways, 24v AIO from vevor to manage hook up and inverting, 400w solar (I think one panel not playing nicely though) victron mppt 100/15, victron 24/12 converter, ultramax 24v 60ah lithium battery. I run a similar fridge to the one below on 24/7, every day 25 mins...
  • Post in thread: All in one 48V System 3000 Watts

    We are using a clone MPP, Vevor 24v 3000w, I decided against using the built in MPPT (due to no low temp cutoff on my battery, winter temps can sit well below 4c for a while) instead I used a Victron 100/15 (Victron Battery sense for the low temp cutoff) and 4x100w panels in 2s2p gives well...
  • Post in thread: Cold charging question!

    Nope, no low temp cutoff on the battery, it's in my campervan and runs an MPP 24v AIO, that's why I use this victron SCC as it has the cutoff on it I'll not worry too much, just didn't want to do any damage! Thanks
  • Post in thread: New Battery Day!!

    Got this orange beauty delivered today, exceptionally quick delivery ordered 11pm Sunday night and delivered 10am Tuesday morning. Total delivered price was £359 for 24v 100ah, delivered at 99% and 26.7 volts so will see how that is once I've popped it on charge later, a pretty good deal for...
  • Post in thread: expected panel output

    Here's my 4x100w panels over 5 days up to Sunday, they are setup flat on the roof of my van and average I see is generally about 300w, most of the those days I've driven the van and have been in Scotland touring so weather is about 20c and was reasonably sunny, there is just enough panels to...

    Hi all After a bit of advice for the strange system I’ve built please. Current set up. 60ah 24v lifepo4 (Another to be added when finances allow) Vevor all in one 3kw (MPPT unused) Victron 100/15 mppt Victron 24/12 converter Victron battery smart Renogy shunt 2x100w Mono PV as below flat...
  • Post in thread: Victron app status question!!

    Panels flat mounted like this, plan is to put another two up front for 2s2p.
  • Post in thread: Victron app status question!!

    I’m pretty sure that was all the same day, I’ve just been out and taken the below readings, I think I’m correct in saying the voltage is the parameter to be concerned with and amps will be limited by the controller. Highest vmax seen is 46.2 and I’m a little concerned if I go for two more panels...
  • Post in thread: Cold charging question!

    My first winter with the campervan and watching my batteries fo flat due to lack of sun! To the point I have the victron SCC set to 6c for cold cutoff, I noticed today it's putting a tiny 0.10a charge into the battery, is this considered charging, likely to cause any damage? The SCC gets it...
  • Post in thread: Victron app status question!!

    Of course, thank you, I’ll go with me being nice but slightly dim! And the differences between the History & Trends, is the expected differences? I would expect to see the Trends match the history for the highest PV W which it doesn’t and wonder which is the most accurate to monitor. I haven’t...

  • Post in thread: Victron Orion Smart Charger Low Temp Cut Off

    Hi all In my van I have the below setup. 24v 100ah lifepo4 Smart solar 100/15 BMV712 2x Battery sense (van & house) Orion Smart charger 12/24 10 MPP clone 24/3000 It's not super cold where I live but often drops to 0c overnight, this forces the solar charge not to work in the mornings as cutoff...
  • Post in thread: Renogy battery shunt resetting

    My Renogy shunt doesn't make any noise, are you sure that's not the battery BMS disconnecting, check the recommended charge level, a quick search shows as 40a recommended, it's possible the battery doesn't like 50a and is protecting itself via the BMS, is there a way to reduce the charge rate...
