Thank you for making this video! I was so lost in the Victron chargers!
Thanks for a great detailed video. Just purchased the same charger today and got it for a lower expected price.
I have the smaller 4a\15a model. I love the app to let you see what it's doing and the charging history. I bought some 6v Duracells a couple of years ago.. but have switched to BB Lithiums. So now they sit. I wish it would charge 6 volt.
ive been using Victron for 6 yrs -Zero problems
Fantastic video, thanks for sharing. Just what I was looking for.
Next on my list of stuff to buy. Plan on running with my 700w propane generator.
Can you connect two chargers to a battery and run the generator half as long?
Great video. If I am using this in a van system with solar can I link this with the cerbo gt
I purchased the IP22 and it ran really hot on 30 amps and not able to even hold unit. I contacted Victron and they said it was normal to get hot! What a Joke! Here is the review I left on Amazon: I was surprised when I touched the case and it was too hot to pick up while running at the rated 30 amps. It was actually 134F or 55C and no electronic item should be this hot ever and poses a risk for fire. Upon inspection there is a tiny mini fan (40mmx10mm) inside near the center and it blows air on to a transformer next to it and that is it. The fan basically does nothing. I could feel no air flow exiting or blowing around the unit. There is a cover on the back end and when I removed it for inspection I noticed a place where a fan was designed to be installed but none existed. How could a manufacture with a high end name like Victron let this happen. I think they wanted to make the IP22 as quiet as possible, hence the mini fan located inside mid center but they forfeited cooling when they took the rear fan option away and slapped a cover over it. I had to submit a technical support request form and I am waiting for Victron to get back to me. I will update this when they do. I also went to the Victron community forum where multiple people were complaining for quite sometime about the heating issue and it appeared to me that Victron never acknowledged the problem. We shall see. Update: Here is Victron's response: "Depending on models, there is a fan on the side of the unit while others are left blank. Victron has said that these units will heat up when in operation, and there should be no cause for concern. The units do have overheat protection on them." End Quote. Anyone who works with electronics knows that the enemy of electronics is heat and for the IP22 to get so hot as not able to hold unit in your hands is unacceptable. I will never buy Victron again. Meanwhile I have added to more fans to the unit. I added one fan in the space provided on the back end side, just removed cover that covered up where the fan should of been. I also made a hole in the cover and added a fan so the fan on the cover would blow air in and the fan on the back end would blow the air out. I wired in parallel with the internal mid centered fan. Now runs about 15 degrees cooler. Shame on Victron!
Thanks for your review, could you help me I have brought a 3 output unit but the back has only one black input with 3 red inputs. Am I suppose to join the blacks all together on a busbar ?
my Victron 30 amp charger got to 130 degrees F with no fan running after 30 minute's. I'm wondering if mine is defective.
Trying to decide on this charger for trailer camper build,
I have in my RV 2 300AH lithium batteries by Ampere Time. Overnight I drain down to 20%. How many hrs should I run my gen the next day to recharge them? My converter is a renogy 50a for
Thank you!
How many batteries are you charging?
I hear some have problems with the lithium ion setting messing up and over charging the batteries.
Cool man ! Love it !
Can I use it while using the battery to power some stuff?
Thanks for this video, it's really helpful. Two questions: I have the 3 output version of this charger & couldn't find the recommendation about the cable size you mentioned in the documentation I have & would like to find that - any ideas? Also, I read that the charger should be placed as far away from the batteries as possible in the manual ( in the Charger Location section) - do you have any thoughts about this with regard to Lithium Ion batteries? Thanks again!
