[BusNit]

I had some startup issues which befuddled my grey matter. Whenever I turned the single 48v server battery it would overload and shut down. Whenever I turned on the inverter main 120v power it too, would shut down. I don’t know if it is due to needing more battery power to start the thing? I didn’t want to carry another 108lb battery to the bus. I set two strings of series 3 panels and sent both series strings into a “Y” parallel adapter. With a nice load of 140v, I turned on the system and the lynx distributor would cycle itself on and off. From there I turned on the battery and voila, power up. Of course I was taking DC loads off the distributor at first and when finally connecting the inverter with a nice large spark, it came to life. I did the minimal settings on the cerbo for the lithium charge profile. 57.6v and 100ah. Tail current is at 4%. Need to fine tune these if need be. For now it’s working. I’d like to prioritize solar instead of grid since one ac unit can run free all day on the power being being generated. Can’t figure that one out. If there’s a Victron specialist in my area, I’d gladly pay them while I watch and learn.

The main issue is the buck converter. It is set for a max of 56v and will cut off 13.6v production at that point. I’ve reached out to the seller on Amazon who is the manufacturer and in China. I know they program these for custom voltages and will see if they can help me. If not, I’ll have to shell out another $280 on a life’s lesson learned.
