I guess my concern is that when I’ve been dry camping in the past and only using my battery without the inverter, I’ve never had it draw down so quickly and have that kind of increased amperage draw. It’s just now after I installed the inverter. I plug in shore power, all is well, I unplug from...

Hi, I have been testing various solar panels and a couple different controllers. When I connect a 100 watt panel directly to a multimeter and measure the voltage and current I get 20.8 volts and 4.7 amps, which is pretty close to specs. My question is; What do the controller voltage and current...

I just received my Epoch 300 AH battery with Victron comms and I'm having trouble determining which cable to use. The Victron site mentions these cables but I can't find anything on the Epoch website and my email hasn't been answered. ASS030710018 - VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS type A Cable...

I currently have a Victron solar controller that I’m using in my RV to charge the batteries. I’m planning on installing the Victron Multiplus 2000 inverter. Will the inverter need to be on all the time in order for the solar system to charge the batteries? Thanks!

Brucey, Thanks so much for the quick reply-exactly the information I was looking for!

Thanks!

Newbie here, I just installed a Victron 2000 Multiplus and while testing it out my amperage draw changed from 1.95 amps while on shore power to 29.88 when I unplugged and went to use the inverter. I’m using an Epoch 300 ah battery and I have no ac loads on. Not sure what’s going on. How do I...

Newbie here, I have a Renogy 100 watt solar suitcase (2/50 watt panels) and plan on getting a new 200 watt suitcase with either the standard or Eclipse panels. My question is how do I wire the 2 sets together for the best results? I plan on using one MPPT controller with the 2 sets of panels...

Thanks for the comments, I started with the battery at 100% and then unplugged from shore power to check out the Multiplus since I hadn’t had a chance to use it yet. It immediately showed the change in amps drawn shown in the picture. When plugged back into shore power, it went back to the 1.9...
