..., there's a turbine manufacturer you've mentioned in that list above that you'd not heard of a few weeks ago.

Yes, and if you don't, post on the Victron community forum. You might find those folks you purchased from are just drop shipping, so their support response is expected behaviour.

There's a list of Victron distributors on their website, talk to whoever is nearest to you. I'm assuming you've figured out that https://shopbluepower.com/ is likely the distributor behind the Amazon facade ?

In your opinion ....

As i've previously stated, in the early days the miniscule husband, wife and a couple of mates company that was Batrium was selling products designed for folks who know what they were doing, we didn't really need their help, but their general response, or lack of it, when we pointed out...

These days people "hear" whatever they want to "hear", what was actually said doesn't seem to matter.

Nope, not a Batrium/Elitist at all, we've used a lot of quality equipment over the years, SMA, Schneider could equally have been added to a list of preferred manufacturers that are well proven.

You've either deliberately, or accidently misunderstood my opinion, I'm certainly not recommending a "BMS" that feature FETs passing the full battery current. I'll acknowledge that the majority of folks here seem to prefer components, often called battery managements systems, that have an...

I'm not disagreeing, my opinion is that many folks aren't aware of what a quality BMS can provide in terms of control, data and stability, I disagree with the "default advice" but I'm long enough in the tooth to recognise that folks seem to enjoy doing what the off grid garage chap seems to do...

There's no correlation between the duration of my membership and me being aware of his previous stance and postings, but you've decided there is ...

Great, I'm happy for you.

Fets in series with the current flow, it's multiples of parallel FETs that dictate the amount of current they'll pass.... if you're wanting to score cheap points then crack on there.

Back in the early days, Batrium assumed that end users knew what they were doing, their lack of response wasn't a problem, just more of an annoyance, which is why we ended up not placing any sizable orders with them, but the systems we did buy have proven to be fine, but certainly not plug in...

Indeed, nor do many check to see if their BMS abc speaks the same language as their xyz AIO untill after they've purchased and proven they aren't compatible, usually through lengthy and costly experiments, and then moan that they aren't doing what they expect, and eventually conclude that they...

I exclusively use Victron equipment, which communicates perfectly with Batrium/RECC, so changing the charge rate when a cell hits its target volts is simple, effective and proven to be entirely dependable for years. If the cell, for any number of reasons, rose or was reduced to a point deemed to...

But thats not how a BMS is designed to function, and it's not how a correctly configured Batrium works. If one cell is a "runner", a competent BMS would lower the rate of charge, and bleed from the "runner" - allowing the remainder to catch up whilst not heat stressing the bleed components...

OK ....

This comment illustrates one of life's issues these days, folks opinions are being based on Internet content, rather than lived experiences, I've added a few real world videos above to present an alternative angle, it's obviously very possible to live in very close proximity to reliable systems...

You're very obviously got a dislike for wind, and have a good few words to voice your dislike. But you never post anything that can be illustrated by facts on this topic, so, given the nonsense you've posted here, feel free to post some facts to support your comment - or be honest and state...

I agree completely, I've got numerous Batrium systems running, it took me a while to trust them, especially given how problematic their support was, but that's back maybe five years, I absolutely trust them now. Similar with all of the other quality management systems that we've used 100s of...

I think there is overwhelming use on this site of cheap, bug ridden management systems that aren't reliable, hence the general agreement that multiple lines in the sand need to be present.

This is just your opinion, I believe the opposite to be true, but I suppose it'll depend if you trust your BMS.

We have a few old leafs in the family and I'd say they would be the perfect vehicle for you, given how much money you're wasting on the old VW, combined with her low use and perhaps the ability to charge for free. The only mechanical issue I have with mine is that the screen wash runs out...

Have you tried simply leaving the mini PCs running with just a fresh OS install, nothing else ? I've never found anything other than the Intel Compute sticks reliable enough for long term monitoring.

Bin that bus bar, you'll never get a reliable connection when you have non metallic components under compression.

What not ? Have a Google as to how to correctly determine when a Li battery is fully charged.

I'm pondering if you've answered a different question ....

Ac Thor or Fronius Ohmpilot

The first connector is a very old fashion speaker connector...

I hope this means there will be some 800v and above MPPT chargers being released soon.

Yeah, but buy cheap buy thrice ...

I've a feeling the ChatGPT generated responses would make much more sense.

Do some reading around the topic of tail current, you absolutely no not want to be ceasing charge based on either a voltage or a period of time.

I'm curious, what are you needing to order ? There's plenty of instantly contactable suppliers in the UK, who you'll have no problem getting support from.
