    Need to get Shopback eBay sale with code approved for full OzBargain power

    Did you not stalk them on afterpay 25% day?

      unfortunately I ignore afterpay deals.
      got a thing against the BNPL industry.

        Didn't have to pay with AP, just use the code :)

        • Lighter Fluid on 23/09/2024 - 17:14

          Bargain is a bargain, just pay through AP then immediately pay the remaining balance and gtfo. At the end of the day they haven't gotten a dollar out of you but you've used their platform to save some of your own.

    Whatcha building?

    • Martyroz on 22/09/2024 - 11:41

      Upgrading electrics in camper trailer.
      - Currenltly have no inverter and no 240V input.
      - Already have 440W solar into Victron MPPT 100/50 with 640Ah lithium (2 * 12Vboxes with 200A active BMS each).

      I'll have a sparky wire: 240V inlet > protection > into the Multiplus > CB's > 240V outlets in the camper.

      Probably not going to utilise the second 240V output of the Multiplus, which is designed to seperate critical loads (always on) from ordinary loads (on only when sure power available).

      Also have no plans to implement the Cerbo and analysis screens, but the option is there to do that later. I'd also need a Victron smart shunt etc for that.

      Currently on the fence about adding a DCDC charger from the tow vehicle. It's not currently required, but mandatory for that dream trip I have planned for 5 years time going east coast to west coast. Just in case the solar gen shits itself. Either that or carry a generator.

      There you go thanks for asking.

      • subydooby on 22/09/2024 - 12:02

        Cool, enjoy

      • m13 on 22/09/2024 - 13:13

        That's a lot of battery to solar ratio. Do you intend to slowly run it down over a camping trip? The general suggestion is to go 1:2, I have 800w solar and 450Ah lithium, but in winter we can't recharge off the solar alone.

        • Martyroz on 22/09/2024 - 15:57

          yeah its more hobby than necessity. I enjoy tinkering. The batteries are DIY so pretty cheap. Under $2k delivered.

          Long term my camper can fit a 640W panel, which is well suited to the 100/50. But that's for a later date. Right now the 440W was $100 on marketplace so hard to go past initially.

  • Mikael on 22/09/2024 - 11:50

    Bought a 30a victron charger the other day from them. Ended up being $189.99 with codes.

  • ratman on 22/09/2024 - 12:11

    Yeah micktron is great. Definitely my go to victron dealer, even without coupons. Now I just need to figure out what I can buy while the coupons are active 😅

  • trev likes bargains on 22/09/2024 - 12:25

    Thanks OP. Got a car charger and now all my 12v chargers are Victron

  • shoppe on 22/09/2024 - 13:06

    I'm not sure what these things do, but I better buy one of each.

  • team teri on 22/09/2024 - 14:15

    That seller is reliable. I bought something from them 25% off with the Afterpay deal.

    The Multiplus: starting out 'from scratch' I will go 48V. Much better value for money units. 48/3000 for below $700!

    • Martyroz on 22/09/2024 - 15:56
      +1

      There are benefits to 48V but it is not without cons.

      For me, I didn't like the idea of having 4 batteries and if you lose one, you are in trouble.
      Also, you need a 48V to 12V converter, which is an additional cost and additional point of failure.
      Also not sure how DCDC charging integrates with 48V camper systems.

      • banana365 on 22/09/2024 - 16:19

        For your kind of set up if you want multiple batteries then just using them in parallel makes more sense. I design off grid systems that power microwave, CCTV and network switches. 48V Victron gear makes that a doddle.

        • team teri on 22/09/2024 - 17:34

          A few quick questions to the expert, if you don't mind :-)

          I've been heavily reading up on the Victron universe lately. I want to add energy storage to a house with an existing old PV system. The plan: leave the PV as is for now (so I don't lose the FIT), connected to the main switch. Add a Multiplus II 48/5000 GX downstream (having the PV on the input side). Add a ET340 power meter to measure both the grid import/export and the inverter output. Add a 48V battery. Get the most important of my home's load circuits connected to the output of the Multiplus.

          The idea: power my home over night mostly from surplus solar, with the grid as a back-up, and for power peaks.

          Questions:
          Can all the configuration of the Multiplus II GX (including software updates) be done via Wifi now, or will I still need a MK3-USB cable?

          Are you aware of any legal requirements beyond 'licensed electrician' for the sparky who installs things for me? He's not touching the PV system. And the design will be mine, I am suitably qualified but not accredited for anything at the moment.

          I'm tossing up between a 5kWh (48V 100Ah) and 10kWh (2 of the 5kW) battery bank. The small one would be cycled 100% - 20% - 100% almost every day. In this scenario, is there any point in adding a smart-shunt to the equation to get more accurate SOC information?

          Victron warranty: they apparently extend the warranty to 10 years for 10% extra. That shows quite some confidence in their products, perhaps enough that I don't need to spend the 10% and have pretty good odds of ending up in front. What do you think?

          • banana365 on 22/09/2024 - 20:06

            @team teri: Sorry, I don't touch grid connected stuff as there's no grid anywhere near where we put our kit. The nearest we get to mains power is generators. We generally use the Cerbo for our config/monitoring, which provides WiFi. The Multiplus's WiFi should allow you to configure it all through the Victron Connect app, though I believe the management is less complete than the Cerbo. I usually leave the config to the field team and they've not needed to use any cable. Typically they set up an internet connection then do more in depth stuff with VRM. Cables required for config of any device always go missing/get nicked by colleagues and I've yet to hear a tech moan about not having one (they're very vocal about missing tools/equipment). If they needed them we'd ensure we kept a load of spares and we don't have any.

            @team teri:

            Add a Multiplus II 48/5000 GX downstream (having the PV on the input side)

            Is there any reason why you wouldn't connect your existing PV and all loads on the AC-Out?

            Can all the configuration of the Multiplus II GX (including software updates) be done via Wifi now, or will I still need a MK3-USB cable?

            You'll need a MK3 cable if you decide to use VenusOS on a Raspberry Pi. If you're buying a CerboGX or any Multiplus with GX capabilities you can use Remote VEConfigure to configure your Multiplus.

            Are you aware of any legal requirements beyond 'licensed electrician' for the sparky who installs things for me?

            As long as the sparky conforms to AS/NZS 3000 and 3010.

    Anything similar to the below? Looking to charge 2 12V batteries in the trailer from car through Anderson.

    Ridge Ryder 12V 40 Amp In Vehicle DC-DC Battery Charger

    • Martyroz on 22/09/2024 - 17:42

      3 options
      Victron Orion 12/12 18
      Victron Orion 12/12 30
      Victron Orion XS 50

      pay more for more amps. Just make sure your wiring is up to the task and you fuse close to battery terminal.

    • 9839002 on 23/09/2024 - 06:33

      Don't touch the old victron Orion dcdc chargers. Pre the xs model, they were very inefficient and derate badly when they get warm. You can 3d print some cooling system with a computer fan if you really want one.

  • soaringphoenix on 22/09/2024 - 18:01

    nice. so this is a tesla powerwall alternative? good price.

  • gyrex on 22/09/2024 - 22:44

    You must have missed the SolarBox sale recently… I got 3x MultiPlus-II 48/5000/70-50 for $1262 each 2 months ago :) They had massive sales across the entire Victron range.

    • Martyroz on 23/09/2024 - 08:59

      Those are still $1,262 today at SolarBox.

      I have watched the 12/3000 for months and this is much cheaper than Solarbox ever has been.

  • Kossac on 23/09/2024 - 08:43

    anyone in chat testify to Lithium batteries under hood of car.
    Old mate here saying that he has had success and that iTechWorld offer 5 year warrenty with a lithium ion battery under hood. Anyone got experience to draw on?

      Go search for DCS battery lawsuit. Another promised under bonnet lithium (wouldn't surprise me if it's the same supplier). Lithium cells don't really like heat, sure it'll work to begin with, but degrade far more rapidly.

    • Nom on 26/09/2024 - 13:36

      Porsche have a lithium 12v battery as standard in some of their lightweight models. It's a quarter the size of the usual lead battery - but as per post above, you need to engineer a way to keep it cool, otherwise under-bonnet temps in traffic will destroy it quickly.

  • linoc66 on 23/09/2024 - 21:05

    Vs the MultiPlus (for a blue water cruiser), I got one of these AIO 10.2KW "48v" (vs 12v) Hybrid (On/Off Grid) Inverter Charger for $900 on special

    Paired it with one of these "15"kWh 48v 280Ah Server Rack Batteries for $4K.

    And 440w black bifacial PVs for $160 from a local wholesaler.

  • Unleash3896 on 26/09/2024 - 13:02

    Am I stupid, or is $170 for a busbar insane.

    It is two copper bars with some nuts and a plastic shell…

    • linoc66 on 26/09/2024 - 13:19

      Not stupid. Fancy packaging, like all blue gear.
      Very easy to diy for cheap.
