Alright fess up, which one of you installed this?

Planning a system around either a multiplus or quattro, victron charge controllers, shunt, cerbo gx, etc. I know there are updates released from time to time, are any of these required for continued functioning of the system? In other words, if I fail to update any/all components for a long...

If you aren't supposed to have propane bottles around an open flame or ignition source how are you supposed to use a grill? Camp stove? Propane heater? Blowtorch? ?

Still trying to decide what batteries to go with and I am having a hard time understanding why some batteries are restricted in the number that can be ran in parallel. For example I've been looking at ampertime 200ah 24v, and they say the limit you can run them is 2s4p. I understand why a limit...

Anyone have any guesses on how some people are able to accomplish high power alternator charging of 24v or 48v lifepo4 banks? I've seen more than a few van tour videos of the high-end builders where they claim their electrical systems can do 3000w+ alternator charging on 24v or 48v banks, one...

I'm going to be building a simple small and cheap system and would like suggestions. The only things I'll be running are lights, fan, phone charging, CPAP machine, gaming laptop, Bitcoin miner, induction cooktop, toaster, coffee pot, microwave, 15,000 btu air conditioning for 16hrs a day...

I've seen more than a few setups where people have the cerbo gx + touch display, but they also run the bmv 712. Is there some advantage to this? It seems like if you already have the cerbo and touch display, wouldn't it be easier to just use a smart shunt and have everything integrated into the...

Trying to fill in all the holes in my understanding before getting started and am still a little confused about how exactly the scc operates in relation to charging phases From all the reading I've done here on lifepo4 battery charging it seems battery voltage cannot be used to determine SOC...

I'm trying to decide how to handle AC distribution for my setup. I have very limited space (cargo trailer camper) and I would like to keep all the wiring easily accessible instead of burying it in the walls. So I was thinking instead of having an AC breaker box and normal outlets I could just...

I'm almost done planning out my system but had some questions about grounding. Inverter will be multiplus 24/3000, charge controller will likely be 150/70 or other victron unit. Batteries are ampere time 200ah 24v in parallel, either 2 or 3. They will be connected to a lynx power in and a...

My plan is to use vhb tape to mount a t class fuse holder to each battery case near the positive terminal, and make the connection there with a solid bus bar to avoid extra connections. Does this violate any best practices? I ask because, other than terminal fuses, I never see anyone run...

I'm still planning out my solar setup that is going to be used in a cargo trailer camper conversion and needed a bit of clarification on how exactly the multiplus inverters work. It's going to be a 24v system and I'd like to use the victron multiplus 24/3000/70. I'm going to be boondocking...

When connecting multiple batteries in parallel, each with their own bms, is there still a requirement to have an additional bms for the overall bank to make sure each battery is equal to the other? I know that with parallel batteries the main pos and neg cables need to be hooked up to opposite...

I'm putting together a 24v system with six 100ah battle Borns and was trying to figure out if there is any difference between running them 2s3p vs 3s2p. Both configurations should give me the same capacity and voltage but wasn't sure if there were other aspects that I should consider. Just to...

I am about to pull the trigger on a Bluetti AC300 with 3 of the B300 batteries. The specs say the B300 batteries can be standalone charged independently from the main ac300. My question is whether you can have the B300 hooked up normally to the ac300 and be charging from that, while at the...
