  1. hi do you have any more info on the felicity batteries, your thoughts and insight on if its really good bang for your buck ?

  3. is a busbar necessary ? i had a victron authorised installer come to add additional batteries in my setup and he said nothing about adding a busbar. i had initially 3 x 2.4kw pylontech batteries and have now added 2 x 3.5kw us3000 batteries to the setup. would not having the busbar be a problem ? also how can i know if all my batteries are utilised in the system, it all looks the same to me if i look at the remote console.
  4. thanks guys appreciate the responses. it is currently set to 30w
  5. hi can anyone assist byb telling me why would my Victron multiplus 48v 5000va pull grid power even though there is enough solar ?
  6. thanks , i appreciate the response
  7. yes was during power outage
  8. hi I am not sure if this is bad or ? victron setup multiplus 5000 / 48v/ 70 amp 3 x pylontech US2000B batteries

  10. hi i would like to go solar and power essentials in my home with it. but what confuses me is that logically if all goes as i intend i would be effectively offgrid, even though i will have a grid backup. from the research so far, i intend doing this using victron multiplus. but going to spend R100k on a setup i am concerned that i am hopefully making the right decision. the phase on this solar setup will be - lights, internet , tv, microwave, fridge, freezer (obviously all these are load dependent so i will start with TV, lights, internet, camera system) the things that confuse me are 1) VIC-MULTIPLUS-48-5000-70-100 (is option i want to use) is this a new or latest model inverter ? should i be trying to get a newer model ? i seen some post calling this (VIC-MULTIPLUS-48-5000-70-100) old ? should i get multiplus II perhaps ? 2) for what i am trying to do with making this new phase specifically solar powered which is essentially offgrid because i suppose most of the time batteries will be charged by solar and night power will be taken by batteries will the Axpert inverter be better suited than the multiplus ? pic attached is what i put together so far. batteries will be 3 x 2.4kwh pylontech
  11. setpoint for full sans wanted like R1900 or something M&L was R3000 i am trying to research if the complete SANS is required for water filteration analysing or can a limited test be done.

  15. ah ok cool , yes i know the guys also, i was hoping it was someone knew i didn't know about . their old device used Atmega162 . dunno about the newer but those atmega mcu's are easy to dump just like STM32 and a few others.
  16. interesting that a local south african outfit makes a car diag tool. mind sharing who they are maybe i can offer them seed/key algorithm for automotive ?

  18. hi anyone have any advise on this. seem ridiculously cheap compared to prices of batteries thrown around here and on the internet. they have no contact details for me to call them
