I just got my eighth Victron controller. They are running to two battery banks. I have had pretty good luck setting them up. This last one I hooked up and it can't get it to come online. Its working, I did the 'two updates'; its on 12v; its on 50amps; the battery is set to smart lithium; its...

I am about 85% complete on my first system. It started out as Bluetti, but couldn't afford their battery bank. It's a 12-volt system. I have almost everything in the diagram except the last two batteries and half of the roof (flexible panels). It's for emergency use only. Can I wire in a...

I am replacing my 12v Renogy 2000 watt inverter with a 3000 watt 12 volt inverter. I used 2 gauge wire on the first one, and have ordered 1/0 AWG for the 3k inverter. 12” long to the fuse, and 12” long to the battery to the blue sea on off. Think it should be good. I am concerned about the...

Planning a 24 volt solar system with 3K inverter. Home backup power. It was 12 volt until I posted a wiring diagram this weekend and the fellas nuked it…helped me long run!!! I didn’t even know about 24 volt! My question is What is the BEST lithium battery ‘Voltage’ for this? Starting...

Any suggestions on how to divert power from one MPPT to two battery banks one or the other, not both at the same time. I was thinking a Blue Sea 4 position battery switch, but was curious if someone had a better idea. Thanks

I just got my third one. On the battery settings I use “user defined’ then “expert”, and on the first two controllers I was able to turn off (disable) EQUALIZATION VOLTAGE. On this third one I can’t. It will allow me to adjust it from 8.0 to 16.0 but not turn it off. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Still planning my very first system. Sure not easy! I would like to buy four of these for a bluetti 200 max. I plan on putting them in series parallel with a 15 amp fuse on the two positive cables from the panels with 10AWG wire. Think I am really close to the design portion. Does any know why...

Brand new to Solar, but watching Will Videos for over a year. I want to build a system ASAP. Home, backup for freezer and fridge is the scope, everything else is a bonus. The panels may have to be 50ft plus from the controller is my only challenge besides talent! :-0 Zero electrical...

Has anyone had success with this? I have 4 each 12v Power Queen 190ah batteries, I charged them and wired it this morning with 4/00 2ft cables and was letting them 'rest' and get acquainted but haven't put any load on them. Thanks! Attached is from the Windy Nation website / article.

How do I find the charging parameters for the battery? I didn’t see them on their website. I bought the battery first and thinking of going with a Victron MPPT, it sounds like the easiest for rookies to program for for Lithium.

Any suggestions on how to re-glue a solar panel junction box? I searched on youtuber and didn't see much. I have a new 200w Newpowa panel the junction box is already coming off....Bummer! :)

I built a 12 volt system with Renogy panels and Victron controllers and Renogy Inverters and it works pretty well. It took me a year to build it. Everything I run off it is AC. How do I wire in some like a 750 w DC heater? Is there something like an inverter except for DC?

I bought four of these and have them in parallel. Today I finally got them charged and the Renogy shunt says that they are around 13.2 volts,@ 95% charged. I am New, with this, but I would have expected them to be around 14.00 volts. The manufacturer says to charge them at 14.4-14.6, Thanks!

Does anyone know how to turn the equalization voltage off? Every time I get a new one I can't seem to do it. I have four others and they are off. Can't figure it out. Thanks!

I am working on my first system, I got a Bluetti 200 max and 12 Renogy 100w panels delivering about 900w! I am using / growing it for home backup. Very pleased so far…deep freeze, small air conditioner etc! I want to get two Power Queen 12v/190Ah LiFePO4 batteries. I want to charge them with...

Does anyone know how to turn the equalization voltage off? I was able to do it on other chargers that are the same model but can’t seem to get this one. I was able to adjust it down to (8) shown in pic, but no lower, and not off. Thanks!

I just got my first system and already to expand! I want another battery and thinking something like a power queen, about 1/2 the price of Bluetti 2000w battery. I have an attachment with alligator clips to use the battery if I get one… (when I get one) but how do you charge it with solar from...

I have been researching and planning my first DIY and would appreciate any suggestions. Especially the fuse and fuse location!!! And wire sizes. I may only end up with two Power Queen 12v 190Ah's but four is the max for sure. BTW, I used someone on DIY schematic, and just replaced and moved...

Has any anyone heard anything about this one? It looks like it would fit my needs, but there is only like one comment on Amazon. Not too assuring! Thanks! I

I run six Victron 100/50 smart solar chargers at my house to two batteries banks. Just for emergency power. I have really enjoyed my selection of MPPT. But if the phones are down, like they were for me last week, how do you manually turn them on or off. Bluetooth is great, but if the phones...

I just got a new Victron 100/50. It's the first one I can't seem to pair with my phone. Any suggestions? The prompt is "see some number on the side" or use 000000. This is about my eighth MPPT of theirs and 000000 always works, first time, I tried this one about 20 times, no luck. Thanks, :)
