    Victron Multiplus II 2x120 - Too Loud?

    No, not fan noise. More of a toroidal transformer hum. When not charging it has been essentially silent.

    Victron Multiplus II 2x120 - Too Loud?

    In an RV, not a boat, but our unit is under the master bed. For us, it had been "noisy" when it seemed like it was in float charging mode forever. Changed the settings so it wouldn't sit there at night trying to constantly charge. Problem solved. In an RV, all the inverting ends as you shut...

    Custom Bus Bars From Copper Flat Bar

    I used thin strips of wood as spacers so it would be centered on the copper. Also helped stabilize the copper so it stayed flat against the table.

    Custom Bus Bars From Copper Flat Bar

    May be overkill, but I bought steel drill guides. Not as cheap as wood, they have held up well on the drill press. Similar to this; Drill Guide - McMaster-Carr

    Stripped M6 Hole in EVE Cell - HELP!

    @cinergi His video saved a cell for me! Stripped Terminal Repair Had to watch it several times to make sure I had the correct sized bits, etc., but it was really easy since I already had a good drill press and grinders to flatten the end of the bits.

    Wiring Lynx Distributor to MultiPlus II

    They are both large, too. So, if you're trying to fit into that box, straight up bus bars may be a lot easier.

    Wiring Lynx Distributor to MultiPlus II

    That's basically the purpose of the Lynx Power In. It's a pretty and convenient bus bar system. Less expensive than the Distributor because it doesn't include the fuse workings.

    REC BMS Connector

    You don't say which version you have, but if it is the REC Active, @BretS may be able to help, as he is one of the few that seems to have figured these out.

    REC-A BMS and Contactors/Pre-Charge/Etc.

    Appreciate it and will definitely reach out. Probably won't make it to the top of my list until late November or early December.

    REC-A BMS and Contactors/Pre-Charge/Etc.

    Yeah, that's why I went with the Overkills when I just ran out of time and had to get temporary batteries ready to go. Overkills are plug and play, but don't play as well with Victron, let alone 1120AH of batteries!

    REC-A BMS and Contactors/Pre-Charge/Etc.

    Really appreciate this. I'm stuck with my Overkills for the remainder of this season, but will take a closer look at my REC A stash when my new cells go into "Production" after this RV season is over. Will surely come back for advice on how you have yours programmed! So, next time you go into...

    New Victron Multiplus Installation - What to do with old converter?

    Looks like you still need to feed the DC panel. For mine, needed wires from Lynx to DC panel, replacing the feed that used to come from the converter.
