Myth Busting: Charging lithium via alternators
April 2, 2024
We’re excited to share that we’ve recently upgraded our office energy system with our cutting-edge TITAN Lithium 48V 105Ah battery, paired with the Victron Multiplus II 5000 inverter. This setup not only allows us to harness cheap electricity through Economy 7 charging overnight, but it also serves as a vital test bed for our CANBUS and Victron ecosystems.
Why does this matter? By establishing this advanced energy infrastructure, we aim to enhance our support for customers—whether you’re tackling a first-time setup or need assistance troubleshooting any issues. Our commitment to providing the best support means we’re always prepared to help you navigate your own energy solutions.
The magic of our setup lies in the seamless connection between the battery and inverter via VE.CAN (CANBUS) technology. This connection ensures that the inverter has access to all the data that the Battery Management System (BMS) gathers, allowing for remote monitoring through Victron VRM.
As an added bonus, our batteries are DVCC compatible, which means the inverter automatically adjusts to align with the battery’s parameters. This smart synchronization keeps everything running smoothly, ensuring optimal performance.
Curious about what this setup powers? Our live feed via Victron VRM shows us actively powering our computers, server, network equipment, printers, heaters, office fridge, and phone system!
We’re also thrilled to introduce one of our new upcoming 48V 25A chargers, designed for rapid charging during Economy 7 hours. This ensures that we start each day at a full 100% charge, ready to tackle whatever comes our way.
With this innovative setup, we’re not just testing our upcoming products—we’re also providing you with an inside look at how these sophisticated systems work.
