Multiplus II, Minimum # of batteries required? One 400Ah 12v OK? Victron system, question: I previously had 4x100Ah 12.8v, Parallel setup. Had problems with batteries. Return allowed by manufacture. I read months ago "somewhere" and have the impression that MPII requires at least 3 or 4...

Mike, Makes sense from my past experience.

Have returned batteries this morning. Battery was only on Amazon factory website when first introduced, no longer as of last time I looked, yesterday. But tech was very good, however what I am finally learning in this thread, all brand new. More than Victron offered and far more than my...

My settings during the Redodo problems with their smart BMS:

No the do not and even when the battery is turned "off" they are still showing 3.35v at the terminals.

But I am 6'4" and 220#'s!!! Imagine 4 x 100 Redodo Minis in there on 11" x 18" of floor space in the nose of a BaseCamp 16X, 2022! Front is rounded so battery space is nil.

Working in this space is for a very strong tiny person, 13" wide and 20" high:

I had posted 2 times here and 2 times on Victron forum, not any advice. Thus I have NOT heard what you suggest. I will go with that. I do need the resting voltage at 13.8 to start a trip as I must sleep on hybred of CPAP, VPAP and it uses quite a lot of energy.

Redodo - my impression and test say BMS in the Smart series on 100Ah is flawed. Their support has been excellent and they now are taking the batteries back. Just shipped back this morning.

Parallel, 12V, 30Amp shore power. Cables are all equal and well under Victron spec.

I am returning 4 of the Redodo 100Ah Mini SMART batteries because several three times in 6 weeks one or the other of the 4 batteries shuts down. To find which battery is "locked out" and then resting it is not fun due to the fact the four Redodo 100Ah Mini just fit BUT my installation is 2...

Mr. Sunshine, Absolutely correct guess - Redodo Smart Mini BMS is flawed for my system where accessing batteries is a total pain! I found two of the four in my setup to be "locked out" and would not take a charge and were dragging the whole system down. After several exchanges with Redodo...

Great analysis!!! I just checked my post 11-8-23 AM and saw your comments. Work on your suggestions. I too think the Redodo Mini Smarts are part of the equation. I got a standard alone LiFePO4 charger yesterday and will one by one try to charge each up to 13.6, which Redodo tells me in their...

After weeks of wrestling to get a solution from Victron or my distributor - dealer is now picking up the slack and offered to ship MPII back and they will bench check it. Before I take the system apart to ship it back, any ideas from the folks here? Setup: Multiplus-II, 12/3000/120/50/12V...
