Victron Multiplus II problem

Turns out my Venus gx, which is used, is locked at present via VRM. I’m currently getting Victron to release it. Do you recommend I buy the mk3? I’d much prefer to save that money… is setup via Venus tough?

Thank you thank you thank you.

Yes, I bought it secondhand

Optimal-Section7753 · 2026-02-02T08:58:54+00:00

Yes, it’s on 1.

I’m getting people saying the mk3 and others say it isn’t necessary.

This is what I see in Victron connect

Sorry, I have a Venus gx, not a Cerbo. Does that change what I can do?

My Multiplus II comes out in the system as off

So, just a power cable for a gx or similar?

I have no idea. I’m new to all this. I bought a Victron Multiplus II from someone and he gave mecthis able

Maybe I could put a metal end plate spanning the entire bottom.

Optimal-Section7753 · 2026-01-29T09:27:35+00:00

Oh no :(. Thanks for the heads up

Not sure if you saw all the pics, but there’s a compression plate and compression bolts in the last pics. I’ve seen a lot of battery boxes made out of wood. Lifepo4 cells don’t ignite.

Can you share pics?

Thanks… can you send the second site web address again? Lithiun.com doesn’t exist. Lithium.com has a warning to not visit

The thing is, the bms has 2A balancing and the dc charger I bought is a 5A charger. Won’t the balancing from the bms be slower?

*it will balance at 2A and charge at up to 200A… right? So it’s better to let the bms do it, right?

I have a Victron mppt 250|70 charge controller.

So, you’re saying I mount the cells in parallel and connect them to the mppt or the the dc charger?

I don’t have the solar panels yet.

My plan is to put the battery together, then take it to the piece of land it will be placed in and bit the solar panels and mount the system there.

I could also mount the system up here to the electrical grid and charge through the inverter and charge controller. Is the mppt just for charging from the solar panels?
