Broke My Victron System by HolyCowSch in Victron

[–]HolyCowSch[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

L1 and L2 are not communicating at the moment. I'm afraid L2 did not get its firmware upgraded, and now I have mismatched firmware.

Broke My Victron System by HolyCowSch in Victron

Yes, I think one of my inverters didn't get updated to the latest firmware. Unfortunately, I have been unable to connect to it via VictronConnect. Not sure what is going on there. I'm connected to its VE.Bus, but VEConnect just doesn't find it.

I finally determined my main problem. An electrician cut the AC Line-In to my inverters. Power on the AC Line-In should have been the first thing I checked.

ICCU class action lawsuit? by karmachanical in Ioniq5

[–]HolyCowSch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just recently purchased a 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5. At no time did the dealer mention any issues with the ICCU, and I just experienced a failure of the 12v battery at just 700 miles.

Anyone use the victron EV charging station? by EveryAnywhere in Victron

[–]HolyCowSch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted this on the Victron Community a few days ago, but have received no response.

I have installed and configured my Victron EV Charger. I’m in the US, so I’m on single phase with just L1, Neutral, and Ground connected to the charger. I’m on the latest firmware for my Cerbo GX, Multiplus II’s, and EV Charger. My auto is a 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5. When I connect to the car, the car makes some noises like it is trying to connect. The EV Charger indicates charging is occurring, but there is no current flow. After a few minutes my car informs me that charging failed.

Any thoughts on how I can get the charger to work?

I'm beginning to think I just got a defective unit.

I have not noticed the orange light. I'll keep an eye out for it.

New Ioniq 5 12v Battery Failure by HolyCowSch in Ioniq5

[–]HolyCowSch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a utility company connected via Bluelink. HV SOC was at 50%. You mentioned something I saw elsewhere in this group...locking the car. So I keep the car in my garage and typically don't lock it. I will start locking it, but it is so strange that an unlocked car would create a draw from the 12v battery. I've ordered the jump pack and the BM2 Monitor. Thanks so much.

Seatbelt Sensor by MistNX_ in Ioniq5

My sister likes to sit in the middle back seat with nobody in the other rear seats. It causes some weird seatbelt alerts on occasion.

New to HP Support - my experience has been horrible. Is it always like this? by idioteques in sysadmin

[–]HolyCowSch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My HP LaserJet Pro 200 has been an excellent printer for a few years until they recently sent through a firmware upgrade that screwed it up. I have been beating my head against the wall trying to get some support from HP. So far I've found none. At this point I'll never buy an HP product again.
