I’m south Texas we MAY get a few days below freezing, but hard freezes aren’t too common. Once I’m certain that my renogy mppt charger won’t overcharge anything (renogy batts have bms protection too), I’ll look at having everything left on and let the solar work it’s magic.

I’m still coming around to a different mindset from the old lead acid where I pull the disconnect and store it (after the other pre-storage procedures). I guess I have to rethink things with a lithium system with the inverter. Unfortunately most of the storage places don’t have WiFi so that’s...

I’m looking to permanently mount my panels soon (right now it’s a ground array), and it should work while my trailer is set up in the open, but I worried about when it goes into covered storage during the off-season. I guess I could get a small 20w panel and stick it on the tongue of the...

You mention the inverter having its own breaker. Are you referring to shore power coming into the main panel and one breaker powers the inverter, or the shore power coming in and going to the inverter and it has a separate load panel after the inverter? Are you trying to run the a/c off of the...

Thanks for the input…the idle draw was another reason I’m cancelling my renogy 2k unit. Most of the time when we don’t have the generator in we are using minimal power and I don’t need the inverter eating up that much doing nothing.

When you did cut power did it retain any settings for battery type and charge amps, etc.?

I was under the assumption that VA was relatively equivalent to W…but I guess that was a bad assumption. Does the 12/3000 multiplus retain battery type and other settings when you pull the battery disconnect in the trailer?

One of the ones I have been eyeing is the multiplus 12/2000/50-80. However there is a new and ‘old’ model now and I can’t find any documentation on them as to whether they retain settings when disconnected from 12v. I’m going to call up victron tomorow and ask what (if any) differences are...

Hey everyone, dug through the forums (among elsewhere) and can’t seem to get a consistent answer (if that exists). I’m ‘upgrading’ my rv trailer to be able to run 110 loads when my generator isn’t on. I swapped out the lead acid battery for two renogy 100ah ‘smart’ lithium ones and had a...
