I have an onboard generator that will need more than one Orion can handle. I wanted a redundant battery setup incase one goes bad, I can still operate on the other while troubleshooting. The cutoff switches on each battery are actually the JK BMS on/off button which are very small, light up...

Thanks CoolWill, appreciate the education.

Ok, it’s a software configuration not a physical/mechanical change……even better to know, thanks again!

Good point on just connecting the input and output lugs if I needed to work on the inverters. Thanks for the feedback!

Hey all, I am upgrading to all victron components in my fifth wheel. I have pulled the old Magnum Inverter, the Zamp CC, the FLA batteries, and the last piece is a device that I have never heard of.....A Xantrex Freedom Intelligent power manager. I completely understand the AC side of it, but...

Thanks for the assist with the photo sir! I figured since I went 24 volt the wiring would be smaller as there is less current flowing. I did install soft starts on both AC's though.

I will move the fuses and the cutoff switch to the appropriate positions, thanks!

Using the 12v Lynx for pure aesthetical and uniformity purposes.

Hey all, My understanding is Victron has a dynamic GN bonding relay in their MP2's. By dynamic, I mean when connected to shore power the relay is open and the bonding takes place in the shore power panel and when inverting the MP2 closes the relay which bonds the GN inside of the MP2. If the...

Interesting, I thought it would pop on the Cerbo if fuse was blown.....hhhmmmm

Hello all, I am building 4 of the following batteries: o 280ah Eve cells x 4 in series for 12vdc nominal o JK BMS 200ah with 2ah active balancer o 2/0 wiring from battery negative to BMS and from BMS to negative post on battery box o 2/0 wiring from battery positive post to positive post on...

I’m assuming in order to power it up I’d put 12vdc positive on the orange wire and negative on the brown wire?

is that part of the logic when they are paralleled or would I have to do this manually?

Thank you HRTKD, appreciate the feedback!

Thanks Dave, I will keep that in mind when installing. Do you think i got the wire sizes correct?

Yup, leaning that way, thanks!

I’ll check them out, thanks for the info.

Thanks for the insight, I will do some more troubleshooting and let you know how it pans out!

First post on this forum, or just about any other forum for that matter. I am no electrician nor did I play one, I am/was in the Aerospace field and consider myself a quick study. After perusing these wisdom filled halls, I think I have designed the battery layout I want to put in my RV for...

Hello all, This may be my first post on this forum not really sure, I've been lurking and learning for so long I can't remember if I have posted anything. So here goes, I have uploaded a diagram of my Victron install for the competent and highly educated masses to peruse and provide...

Good to know, thank you!

Hey all, Just wanted to get opinions on this install, is it wired correctly.....are the wire sizes adequate....etc.. TIA for the input. Jeff

Another possibility, appreciate the feedback.

I am designing a dual Victron 3000va inverter system for my 50 Amp fifth wheel. My question is for the people that have had solar/inverter systems in place for a while. Have you ever needed, or do you recommend putting in, a bypass switch in case your inverters need work while on shore/generator...
