    Victron 100/50 SCC with 790 watts of panel

    Will the mppt really be toasted with 113V peak? I know that the 100/50 (I have one) controller is limited to 100V, BUT inside the mosfets are rated to a maximum of 160V. I cannot imagine the mppt is start burning at 105V if it is rated to 100V. Maybe, there are other components beside the...

    Chargery BMS now with Low Temp Cutoff

    I am wondering why there exists different versions for different shunts (BMS8-100, BMS8-300, BMS8-500). Is this just because of the shunt default settings? I am using a third-party shunt and it would be great if somebody know if I just callibrate my shunt as always and then I am fine? Why are...

    Chargery rs232 interface

    Hello, I try to parse the data from Chargery BMS RS-232 (COM3) interface and I am lost. I am using a "FTDI Adapter FT232RL USB" which seems to be working fine (loopback test, shorten TX/RX). However, the data from the COM3 interface just looks very strange, completely not parseable. Maybe...
