..., there's a turbine manufacturer you've mentioned in that list above that you'd not heard of a few weeks ago.

Yes, and if you don't, post on the Victron community forum. You might find those folks you purchased from are just drop shipping, so their support response is expected behaviour.

There's a list of Victron distributors on their website, talk to whoever is nearest to you. I'm assuming you've figured out that https://shopbluepower.com/ is likely the distributor behind the Amazon facade ?

In your opinion ....

As i've previously stated, in the early days the miniscule husband, wife and a couple of mates company that was Batrium was selling products designed for folks who know what they were doing, we didn't really need their help, but their general response, or lack of it, when we pointed out...

These days people "hear" whatever they want to "hear", what was actually said doesn't seem to matter.

Nope, not a Batrium/Elitist at all, we've used a lot of quality equipment over the years, SMA, Schneider could equally have been added to a list of preferred manufacturers that are well proven.

You've either deliberately, or accidently misunderstood my opinion, I'm certainly not recommending a "BMS" that feature FETs passing the full battery current. I'll acknowledge that the majority of folks here seem to prefer components, often called battery managements systems, that have an...

I'm not disagreeing, my opinion is that many folks aren't aware of what a quality BMS can provide in terms of control, data and stability, I disagree with the "default advice" but I'm long enough in the tooth to recognise that folks seem to enjoy doing what the off grid garage chap seems to do...

There's no correlation between the duration of my membership and me being aware of his previous stance and postings, but you've decided there is ...

Great, I'm happy for you.

Fets in series with the current flow, it's multiples of parallel FETs that dictate the amount of current they'll pass.... if you're wanting to score cheap points then crack on there.

Back in the early days, Batrium assumed that end users knew what they were doing, their lack of response wasn't a problem, just more of an annoyance, which is why we ended up not placing any sizable orders with them, but the systems we did buy have proven to be fine, but certainly not plug in...

Indeed, nor do many check to see if their BMS abc speaks the same language as their xyz AIO untill after they've purchased and proven they aren't compatible, usually through lengthy and costly experiments, and then moan that they aren't doing what they expect, and eventually conclude that they...

I exclusively use Victron equipment, which communicates perfectly with Batrium/RECC, so changing the charge rate when a cell hits its target volts is simple, effective and proven to be entirely dependable for years. If the cell, for any number of reasons, rose or was reduced to a point deemed to...
