Victron Glossary of Terms: Does it exist?

Good day all.

Frustrated. Does Victron have a glossary of terms I can use to make sense of all the manuals? Exhausted by endlessly Googling (with marginal success) exact definitions. Time is just not that readily expendable.


Any help would be wildly appreciated.

Regards.

At present, no. But if you post the terms here, we'll explain them for you.

Thank you @kevgermany @Alexandra


The generosity on this platform is second to none.

When I next tackle a manual I'll be sure to reach out.


I do fear, however, that my primary groan ie lack of quick reference, will not be resolved by this.

Thus, I am also going to write to Victron to press this idea onto them. I'm sure they've applied themselves to make the manuals and various guides as approachable as possible, I just reckon a "Glossary of Terms Used" document would be the ultimate ace up their sleeve. The complexity involved, the steep learning curve, the endless fumbling with new revelations, all of this could be softened by excellent references.


Much regards

There's an ongoing project to link documentation to the posts here. But it's taking longer than expected or desired. I'm hoping there will be a glossary as part of that.


Your comments/suggestions are very helpful, reminded me of the same struggles when I started a couple of years back.

There is online training available for free at victron professional for everyone interested. It does help with the curve and becoming familiar with terms.

@Rattus

You are an end user who is installing your own basic system? You are the right person to sign up and learn, you clearly have an interest. Then maybe you can come back here and help others too.
