This might have been mentioned but when browsing the site on mobile phone, the category drop down tab on the top left opens a list for all the categories. The Batteries category is directly over the search bar in the background. I don’t if it’s me but it’s impossible to click on batteries to...

There’s been plenty of your victron related post that have helped me. I had no idea the charged voltage on the shunt was suppose to be .2v lower than ABSORPTION. I had mine set to match float at 13.8.

I use a danby 10k inverter A/C that is pretty adjustable. On low it uses about 250-450 watts. Medium 450-800. High 800-1200. But as said above, it really depends on what the A/C thinks it needs to do. If I turn on the unit to 70F low and it’s 95F in the room it’s going to ramp up to its full...

I do. Works perfect. What device do you have set for the Cerbo to read voltage? If you go into the advanced tab and look at your battery voltage history is it getting down to the low voltage level to trigger the gen start relay 1?

Their website claims 3-4 uses per hour. I’m guessing that’s to avoid overflowing the waste chamber before it all gets incinerated.

Honestly, I’m ok with it. Make sense being a LF inverter. I’d rather have the high surge capacity, reliability, and low idle consumption that is still fairly impressive with victron inverters. My 2kva multiplus lives at about 50-90w 8 months out of the year with occasional surges for the Fride...

I’ve since upgraded since my original post. 2 more SOK 206ah 12v batteries 2400w of solar 2 victron CC 150/100 and 150/45 Multiplus 2000VA Multiple fans via AC infinity that come on by schedules, temp or humidity thresholds, or by wifi control if I deem necessary. A wifi controlled portable...

While my use isn’t high right now on this property, I’m planing on shipping the container that the incinerating toilet will go in to another state in the future. I’m not 100% sure if septic will be available at the new location so the incinerator toilet is sounding like a good solution to a...

Mostly inductive loads. AC, fans, Fridge, microwave. I thought that was the issue so I tested with a couple different purely resistive loads like radiant heater, heat gun, electric water kettle. Same results.

Yea I don’t really get it. Nothing gets more than slightly warm as far as cables and connections. It’s a Multiplus 2k so my max continuous is 1600w. So at 75% efficiency at max load I’m dumping 400w somewhere. I try not to sustain more than 1200w loads for too long being a 12v system. I do get...

My multiplus is only about 75% efficient which was a big surprise from their 95% stated efficiency. When AC out reads 1000w my shunt reads about 1350w being drawn from the battery bank on the VRM.

I’ve been following them for a while. I don’t think they have had it very long.

Been looking at alternatives to septic and compost for my off grid spot. I currently use a bucket and coco coir as the covering in a composting bag. I’m not full time at the location so I take the bag with me and drop it off in a local dumpster on my way home. I have a urinal set up to drain...

The ac180 shows a wifi and bluetooth symbol on the screen but only supports Bluetooth connection at this time.

Yup. I had a similar problem as the OP where my multiplus would switch from “passthrough” to “inverting” then back to “assist” when big loads would kick in. It was mostly solved by turning the UPS function off. My guess is the multiplus saw a drop in volts coming from the generator for a split...
