We caught up with Luke from Luke's VanLife. He and his business partner Mark from BlueFix are swapping out old two AGM carbons for one #victronenergy Lithium battery as well as a Lynx BMS and Distributor. He has solar on the roof and now uses an MPPT and Orion Smart to charge.

@@johannesboonstra6917 l suspect a larger amount of kit or displays would be beneficial, such as two gx-touch displays one by central electronic hub & one near an exit door would be advantageous. I know you can add the bmv battery display. What l'd like to see is selection of graphical or 3D overlays + selection of calligraphy options. Plus a plug-in hub or two strings of hubs from cerbo-gx. Allowing a much larger network of Victron kit to be spread about a lorry size vehicle (30 foot interior).

Wow, I just watched the video titled "Energy" and it seems like a great product! The Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series looks really versatile and powerful. With its massive capacity, fast recharging, and waterproof technology, it's perfect for outdoor enthusiasts like us. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in need of a reliable power source for your camping adventures or home backup.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 03:11 ⚡ Lithium iron phosphate batteries can offer up to 5,000 charge cycles, making them a long-lasting and efficient choice for van life setups, unlike AGM batteries that need replacement every 3-5 years. 04:04 🌞 A 300-watt solar setup, a 100|30 MPPT controller, and an Orion DC to DC charger allow for efficient battery charging in Luke's van, ensuring reliable power during off-grid adventures. 05:25 💼 Luke's custom electrics cabinet not only powers his van but also serves as a Victron Energy display, showcasing the equipment and offering a neat and organized solution for van electrical systems. 06:52 🛠️ Victron equipment is favored for its reliability and compatibility, making it a preferred choice for those looking to build efficient off-grid van electrical systems. 07:36 📊 Connecting the Cerbo to VRM allows remote monitoring and control of the van's electrical system, providing convenience and peace of mind for van owners like Luke.

Inspirational build. I love modularity, but when is Victron going to release the Hybrid controller that has all in one Transfer switch, MPPT, Battery Charger, Shunt all in one? Say 6KW Inverter, 500V MPPT @ 4K watts, transfer switch, and battery charger all in one... Also, some companies or a consortium thereof are going to benefit from developing an Open Source BMS protocol, which would then benefit us all, and the originators would be the early adopters.

Orion charger only offers 30 amps at 12V. Even with two of them you're only at 60 amps. Modern van batteries are quite large and need higher current charging. I see that Sterling has released a 100 amp and even 200 amp chargers 12v chargers. To match this we'd have to put 6 Orions in paralell. This is NUTS. Is Victron going to come out with a proper high-current B2B charger?

Unfortunately the Cerbo GX Bluetooth seems to be so problematic that in the latest RC of the Cerbo GX firmware the internal bluetooth chip has been disabled permanently. So if I want my Ruuvi’s to work I will have to buy a Bluetooth dongle. Not a very elegant solution to a hardware issue…
