While i admit im used to Lead batteries and know very little about LifePO4 but Im concerned the aboiut the charging and behavior of my recent first purchase of a 100 amp/Hr 24 volt one . The battery charges normaly for a few hours getting to around 90% then all of a sudden within a couple of...

I have posted on the Official Victron Forum and two Victron Facebook pages asking if anyone could identify a Victron Temperature sensor but so far no one has so i thought would try here on the hope someone can say yes or no from experience and knowing something no one else seems to . It might be...

Friend who know nothing about Solar need to replace his 12 x 2 Volt 600 Ah lead Acid batteries , he needs either 2 x 12 volt 400Ah or 2 x 24 volt 200 Ah , cost , space and weight are not factors tha need to be concidered so which is the better option .

I am building a mobile tubular steel rack for my Solar Equipment and Batteries , the back panel is now a 2mm sheet of steel and the MPPT , Inverter/Charger , and DC to DC Charger are mounted on it with Positive and Negative BusBars mounted on an insulated board lower down Behind where the...

Would someone knowledgable please look at the circuit and tell me if its safe or has flaws or needs moifying before i turn on and possibly find out the hard way . The Lithium battery is sufficient to cover our normal consumption between the hours of 6pm and 10am , when we have bad weather and...

For personal reasons I have to find an alternative backup method to a generator and considering installing a 24 volt 100ah stand alone lithium battery into our solar system which itself use 18 month old AGM batteries which are performing well . Daytimes we have far more coming in than we need...

Now sure what to expect from my new LifePO4 battery , it came with 40% charge and a voltage of 26.2 as the manual says it would and i left it standing for 2 months before charging . When charging i noticed the Victron DC to DC charger was going through Bulk chargewith voltage slowly rising as...

My normal generator is 1800 watts output and my battery charger is 20 Amps@ 24 volts and when batteries are low it shows the full 20 amp charge . Yesterday i bought a Goodyear 1100 watt ( 1000 nominal ) generator which i was very pleased with , started 1st pull and runs like clockwork at a...

I apologize in advance as this post is a bit long winded but i have tried to incorporate anything that might be relevant to the point of probable repeating myself . Hoping someone noticed the same phenomenon with AGM batteries compared to Flooded that would explain wha I am observing...

The battery bank on my 24 volt Solar system consists of 4 x 6 volt 392 amp/hr Trojan L16 AGM Batteries . The data sheet that came with the batteries provided me with the Charging , Float and Temperature Compensation information but i would like to know the recommended Absorption times . Most...

Is there such a thing as a Manual DC change over switch made to mount on a DIN rail inside a consumer box next to the Isolation switches and surge protectors , i dont want to install a stand alone one . Looked on Amazon and cant see anything but possible i don't know what they would be called .

My system is 24 volt nominal 29 volt actual and i want to fit a small Computer type fan to turn on when a piece of equipment reaches a certain temperature . The only thing i am having problems with is finding a 8cm fan that will operate at this voltage , 5 , 12 , 24 and 48 are al no problem...

Is it safe to use much smaller cables between different pieces of equipment when they are close together . The manual says that from my batteries to my Victron 24 volt 1200 watt inverter requires 25mm cables between 1.5 and 5 mtrs ,mine is 1 mtr apart but i am wondering if i have to use the...

What are users mounting their Inverters , Charge Controllers and associated equipment on . I am in Spain and getting anything other than Wood or Steel sheet is very difficult .

I have an old Style Victron 150-70 Blue Solar MPPT , the one with a small screen and 4 buttons on the front for Setting up , Monitoring and reading History etc . The unit has been performing perfectly until About 2 weeks ago when i removed my 16 assorted sizes Poly Solar panels as they were...

Would appreciate any suggestions or input on a situation my friends are suddenly encountering . Their Flooded batteries are around 7 years old and looking back via Victron Connect I can see they would normally spend several hours in Bulk then a few in Absorption but was rare for them to go into...

I would be very grateful if someone could advise me if the Backup setup illustrated here would be feasible and safe . For reasons i dont want to go into its not practical to incorporate a switch to isolate the Negative wire to the Busbar as well as the Positive so im concerned if there might be...

I know that batteries should be connected before MPPT and when dissconecting the MPPT sould be first so what happens if the battery fuse blows while panels are still producing power , will the MPPT be damaged .
