So by my reckoning P=IV where the Victron MPPT = 30A (Bluesolar 100/30) and the Van System is 12V with the current solar panel having a Max Output of 285W P = 30 x 12 so P = 360W To my mind then the MAX Solar Power Input to the Victron 100/30 would be a 360W yield on Solar at the very optimum...

or even this (similar to above) https://beta.ivc.no/wiki/index.php/Victron_VE_Direct_DIY_Cable

Maybe And see this Video Might try that and would be a Fiver (£5) to make the cable though I might have some bits kicking around to DIY it myself, looks like +5V is left out in the comms which is just data from the Victron device to Pi and vice-versa Cheers as always, coffee is on me when we...

So maybe I could connect another USB cable from the BMV712 to the RPI and then it would display SOC info ? Would I get away with a cheaper USB Cable rather than a Victron one I wonder ? Like...

So when I log into the Portal I get this, so nothing for the SOC of the battery, what would enable me to have SOC info @wildebus ??

So I went to the Motorhome show at NEC yesterday and it was very well attended. I was surprised though by the amount of manufacturers that use Fiat as the base vehicle. This was overwhelmingly the majority in the under 3500KG range. Less so in over the weight category though. Why are Fiat so...

No worries and thanks for your input

Rightyo I might try and plug the PI into the output on the BMV712 as opposed to the Charge controller and see what the output might be. What email address do you use for VRM portal (PM me) and can give you access if you want ?

I now have a RPI attached in the Van to the Victron charge controller. It is also registered on Victron Portal and is displaying some Data on my account. Is there any way that the other Victron devices in the Van can be integrated into the portal as the only devices showing are the rpi and the...

I mean more having 24V for habitation charged via solar and Split Charge then occasionally charged on hook up. Plus having a 12V system existing for engine and driving in the self-build base vehicle.

Yes I would be interested in a 24V System and how you integrate it into a Van that was built with 12V System. Cheers

Here's the Video Clive Did a bit early than Published on YT - hopefully BC won't mind me sharing it before he changes it to a Published Video I guess with enough tape and packing you could probably get an Array of Lithium Cells to not move about too much....

have you got link for specific video, there are quite a few on his channel and CBA to watch em all :oops:

Will look at the video, I have watched BigClive get the occasional smaller Lithium Batteries from Poundland products at rock-bottom prices, his latest video is YT unlisted as he has a Patreon Channel too, but will be out soon no doubt for Public consumption. Also have read that you can get...

Thanks as always @wildebus for your informative replies, however... Hopefully a lot of people have friends and family where they can pull up and plug there Van in overnight, I think I would be able to do that if I were to become a Full-Timer. Think I am a bit low at the moment at only 230AH and...

Probably triggered by PIR, Passive Infrared then and glass diffracted waves

Says on the ticket they are "non-transferable" so calling them might mess things up. Possibly could leave them there somewhere for you or maybe meet you with the physical printed tickets. The entry is via a QR Barcode so I think a photo of the tickets will be OK - PM me your email and will send...

I have a small'ish device from Humax that I use at home and it does cloud storage and has app on phone. Pretty good really and range not too bad. It is this one https://uk.humaxdigital.com/product/humaxeye/ Maybe inside the Van something similar or a hidden wildlife type camera that records to...

Just curious as to what the folk that spend a lot, or all the time in their Van(s) have as battery set-up and if any like me and @Geeky Philip have paid work in the ICT / Web fields that require possible higher usage with laptops and mobiles and other tech kit ? Thanks in Advance
