    Question about Victron Phoenix calibration

    Hello My Xantrex inverter died and I replaced it with a Victron 1200 VE. seems very well made and I love the blue tooth app. However I noticed the blue tooth displays different wattage usage from Xantex. My 30 watt fan is doubled to 64 VA in load on app. Would this discrepancy have anything to...

    Hello

    Thank you for checking. I am confused. I called both Morningstar and Renogy and manually set the controller to work with lithium according to what they sent me. I turned off equalization. My new batteries have similar settings. this controller will damage my new batteries?

    Hello

    I am at 800 ft with Saguaros:) in winter and in the summer I venture towards your elevation to cool down. Used to live at 6200. Batteries are inside my trailer in an heated environment. Eventually I was planning on getting a Victron controller if my Morningstar can’t be programmed for low temp...

    Hello

    I have two 200 ah lithium batteries with 400 watt solar. They are flat on roof so I get 288 to 318 watts when I checked. The batteries charge in a few hours in the sun. Adding two more 100 watt panels on roof for a total of 600. I live in AZ so low temp cut off is not an issue. I do not have a...

    Resting voltage?

    Hello I just purchased two 200 ah batteries. They want to rest about 13.7-8 after charging to 14. Is that common? Thank you

    Hello

    Thank you for the information. The inverter does not charge the battery. I only use solar/morning star controller. I try not to use my batteries lower than 12.9. Except for voltage lag when using coffee pot. Can you go lower? Or should you?

    Hello

    I have only used this meter. Did tests on it when I first got it. Tested out spot on. I think it is a calibrated issue too rather than a display issue but my question is will that effect a loss in power. The inverter is rated at 90 percent efficiency. 13.6 to 13.1 is 30 % loss using my lithium...
