OFFGRID POWER SOLUTIONS
We are specialists in LiFePO4 batteries & Victron Energy systems. We’re here to help build the best offgrid electrical systems so you can focus on your adventure without stressing about how much power you have left!
One of the biggest stresses when you’re travelling in your motorhome is managing how much power you’re using and how to monitor that so you don’t run out. After many years of testing different technologies, we’ve built some amazing products that take the stress out of wondering whether your batteries will run out soon, whether you have enough power for your teenager to straighten their hair, whether your TV will suddenly turn off or whether you can all charge your devices.
Whether you just love going on trips in your motorhome, are starting to build out a day van for weekend adventures, we’re confident that you’ll find something useful here to help you achieve that! We eat, sleep & dream about travelling in our motorhomes and would love to help you to have stress-free electrical power in yours!

    Hopefully you can do a video on ways to add more VE direct cable options. The cerbo GX only has 3. I'm running 3 x 100/30 MPPTS, 1x Smart shunt, 1X Orion XS 50 DCDC, which all require VE direct. It's seems I need to purchase 2 x USB to VE direct from Victron, the expense keeps adding up. More VE DIRECT ports are needed in the cerbo. I see the octo GX may be the better option If I hadn't purchased the cerbo GX. Quote*. The Octo GX is a member of the GX Product family. The Octo GX is the best fit for installations that have many MPPT Solar Chargers, as it has 10 VE.Direct ports.

    Question: I've been looking at setting up a battery bank for my Campervan, Why is it everyone says you cant use a 20s JK BMS for 12 or 24v? Why can't I hook up say 16 cells (280ah) in a configuration of series and Parallel to make 12v at 1,120Ah Is it the configuration of series and parallel that the BMS can't read correctly? Would I then have to use 4x BMS's each connected to 4x Cells or is there another way to just use 1 BMS that controls the whole lot? Cheers for the information, love the content!

  • @jwbos85
    @jwbos85 Před 13 dny

    Thanks for the video. I have a JK BMS as well and use it for a LiFePO4 4S battery. When I compare it to my JBD BMS and leave it idle (only battery and jk bms) for about a month, I notice that I lose a significant amount of AH with the JK BMS, whereas I don't have this issue with the JBD BMS. The consumption of the JK BMS is dramatically high. Is there anything I can do about this? I have used two of them, and both have shown this problem.

    I bought a 12 12 30 isolated Victron for my Land Rover. However i want to enable the victron to be bipassed when winching so i can get max amps from my two batteries. I used to have a VSR relay wired via a switch to enable this and it also enabled jump starting of the main battery in emergency. Is it possible to have such a set up with the Victron as i do like the fact its topping up my second battery much faster than the VSR did. Thank you

    That's normal for them to swell they all do it, The electrons move under between the plates making expand then as cell discharges it gets narrow again, nothing can stop that you could squeeze them together but when it charges back up it expands again so why bother squeezing them just made more cell movement.

  • @ahuggins6
    @ahuggins6 Před 21 dnem

    What if the BMS shows up as an option to pair device, but won't actually connect? It does not show up in the SmartBMS app, either. Full disclosure: I misunderstood what I was looking at for instructions, and connected both big leads from the BMS to the + and - of my battery pack, which would typically be a short circuit, but it did absolutely nothing. Or so it would appear after two weeks of it connected that way. Now, with the big leads going where they should, I'm having trouble connecting the bluetooth module...

  • @TheRonskiman
    @TheRonskiman Před 21 dnem

    Nice, but you do realise that Victron actually recommend not to use ferrules on there MPPT's.

  • @takingnamesplayinggames2587

    before you have to get through all this rambling about nothing....the simple answer is NO you dont need a DC to DC charger. In reality the answer is YES. Your car alernator will not output the 14.2-14.6 volt needed to completely charge your lithium battery. In most cases you can use the 12v source of your trailer plug if you stay under about 20 amp of charging current. If you want to run a 40 amp or higher output for charging you have to make sure that your alternator will support said load. You also have to run cable directly from the alternator if you want to use more than 20 amp. Victron has a 12/12/18 charger that works perfect. Your battery also needs a Shunt. You also should consider that the dc charger will get very hot during operation, even more so the 40 amp units.

    You need to qualify the amp hour calculation for newbies. If you put batteries in series, you don't add the Amp hours you add the Voltage. If you put batteries in parallel you add the amp hours. In the example in the video a 12.8V (4P) system is 1120Ah, a 25.6V system (2S2P) is 560Ah and a 51.2V (4S) system is 280Ah.

  • @frodev728
    @frodev728 Před 24 dny

    3.0v is too low for balance start. That will overwork the balance circuitry and potentially cause a large imbalance or other issues. 3.375v should be the minimum.
