Hi all,
We have a recently installed a Victron System on our yacht which I am having trouble getting my head around and really need some guidance please with settings.
Too be 100% honest, I have no idea what I am doing and being Friday I cannot get hold of anybody to assist. I'm keen to learn but being older the brain doesn't pick up too much quickly these days!! I have searched before posting but being new to this I'm not understanding a lot of the post contents
What I have noticed is the charge % keeps dropping, was 100% to 98% to 96% now 94% and wont go any higher on any of the charging options (the solar is also underpowered so most charging is done via shore power when in a marina or generator when out. We are out at the moment and will be for the next month or so, therefore generator will be the primary method of charging.
What we have
- Gateway - Cerbo GX
- VE Bus System - Quattro 12/5000/220
- Battery Monitor - BMV - 712 Smart
- Solar Charger - SmartSolar Charger MPPT 10/30
- Batteries - 4 x 445ah Giant LiFeP04
- DC to DC Chargers - Victron Orion TR Smart 12/12/30 x 3
Our charging options are
- Shore power - 240v - Australia
- Generator - Honda EU30is 3kva (I know its undersized but that's an upgrade for a little later $$)
- Boat Alternator - Belmar
- Solar - 2 x 375w Kyocera
- Cabling done with 122mm squared and 144mm squared
Additional information
- We use approx 400ah per day
- We start the generator when we run high power appliances - air con, air fryer
I hope someone can take the time to help me out.
Cheers
Di
