https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005004440801222.html I thought of this too but was not sure is doable, thanks for confirming. I think I'll go with this. I thought I'd remove the existing switch and replace it by 2 long wires connected to another switch farther away. But yes no need to remove...

hello thank you. Yes it's a 12v inverter sorry for not precising it in the post. I don't understand the need for this part, because to replace the builtin switch by another one located farther you just need to solder longer wires in place of the builtin switch, no? It's a basic one, brand...

Hello, to control the on/off switch at distance

Hello, I have a 1000/2000W inverter that doesn't have a remote control (I didn't think of it when I bought it) and as it's located in an inaccessible place I'd like to add a remote-controlled switch to it, by placing it on one of the cables. Do you know if this is possible, and what product I...

The SOC returned back to normal (200Ah) suddenly this morning. Weird behaviour if you ask me

Ok the next fridge session has ended, it seems to be fine this time, no SOC drop

I can do this but honestly I didn't touch anything these last days in the bms settings. It's a good remark though. This glitch happened a few minutes ago out of nowhere after a whole day without any issue I found it very strange. The fridge has currently started consuming some energy, I will...

Thanks. When you say "one of the new heated batteries" what do you mean please. I have lishen cells they are quite new but not heated. I checked the voltage with the victron app too, the bms and victron both show the same voltage at 13.3V

thanks, yes it seems to be coincident with a load, which can only be the fridge. It is on eco mode, it only need current from time to time. It happened when the fridge needed current, but usually the SOC doesn't move hugely like this time. Is something wrong with the battery or the bms or the...

Hi, My van is parked since a few hours under my window, (it's the night, 11pm here) and I was checking the day's stats on my phone when suddenly there was a big drop of capacity almost under my eyes (SOC went from 200Ah to 157Ah). That's crazy. There is just a small fridge inside the van...

this panel is in serie with 2 others, they are fine hopefully. But I'm concerned about safety yes.

wow I didn't even see this. that's strange because I didn't bend the panels they are put flat on my roof. I have to investigate... The sun warped this area so it probably caused the damages you showed. I'm going to test the panel to see if it still delivers

haha I'm a courageous man :) Well the panel is warped in this area so I guess it's really the sun that burnt it. But I'll check again you made me doubt

Yes.. But I wanted to go stealth. In France it's not easy to have visible panels on the roof, you can't stay in your van so better be stealth. I thought too at the begining but I touched it and it doesnt feel like bird poop, more something like cracks. I'll check again to be sure lol

Hi, I guess my panels won't survive for a very long time if they already have this kind of burn after a few days under the sun. Around 30°C in France, but on the roof I think temperature goes way higher. I didn't glue them, just used screws to fix them, there is a bit of air under them but not...
