Victron is Over-priced Eurotrash. Why would anybody buy Victron over an AiO?

Oh cool. That is the same inverter I am using. Nice. And you want the same data I want. Are we really that unusual?

Does it sum up the total kWh inverted for the day anywhere? Would be really nice to have that graph to compare to the solar charge controller's daily yield graph.

same here, right now we only hot spot our phones when we’re there, so VRM would need that fancy victron 4g cell link thingything or a Verizon hotspot which would be pricey.

So far trends via victron connect has kept enough data to keep me from spend $$$$

I picked up a 9" tablet. Set it up on split screen. I then see Victron on one side and on the other is WiFi from the ElectroDacus SMBS0.

The Cerbo will store data to internal memory or an installed MicroSD. You could upload only when on-site. Not useful for monitoring, but you'd have all the data available for your logs.

Yeah but VictronConnect trends stores 30 days which’s is all I need. Right now my AC needs are only when we’re there (propane fridge).

Trust me I would do it, maybe via a pi build but I can’t justify it now. In due time.

I've never tested it, but the literature says 45 days. Since I never access via bluetooth, I never see it.
 
Here are a few inside pics of my 450/200 that I will test shortly.

So been looking for the "March" release of the class t lynx power in. However looks like it will only be in a 3/8"/M10model and not the 5/16ths m8 we are accustomed to. I guess no biggie re-terminating battery cables as needed.

Ive gone with a direct attach midnite 250A 125A DC breaker (blue seas 6006 switch for size reference).

Where are you getting that list? Does that Class-T part mean they will actually have built-in support for putting in class T fuses?
 
So that breaker is surface mount, right? How is that going to play out? Another Milwaukee crate?!? lol

I opted for MRBF fuse internal to my battery (mounted to that same blueseas disconnect switch), as that 24v life is so much easier to manage.

My MPII order was supposed to be delivered today, but FedEx tracking hasn’t updated since leaving Missori since Monday. . . .

Its the 2024 Victron price guide. I don't think we've seen the internal design but apparently that's the plan (for a single class T).

Yeah my days of carting the batteries and sccs etc outside each morning and back in at night are coming to an end. Gonna bring the solar cables into the laundry room and build a little setup in there. Packouts too small now with the monstrosity attached lol.
