Thanks Ben. I'll be back at the boat tonight, and will run a few tests and create a log file. I really wish the WS500 came with an external USB or Bluetooth connection so I didn't have to dis...
First overnight trip on the boat since all the troubleshooting, and it was super frustrating. When I left troubleshooting the WS500 as communicating with the alternator and the batteries were charg...
Thanks again Ben. It does look like my Multiplus is out of date on firmware. I'm presently running edition 490, and it looks like that is a couple of years old. However, I have to wait until I...

Yep... I was confused.To share my confusion in a way which may help others... when I originally removed the SD card for reformatting, I only found Log files on it. There were no other configuration...
Just because we're diving deep here I though I'd share the Multiplus settings to see if you have any concerns or suggestions: I would imagine the BMS would override these set...
@Ben Thanks for the advice here. Voltage Spike: I don't have an explanation for the voltage spike you mentioned. The only charging devices on the boat are the Multiplus and the alternator, a...

Unfortunately, everything on the boat is LED. I will stop by an automotive store and pick up a DC low wattage light bulb and give this test a try. As for the alternator test... what do you mean by...
Thank you. I will give this a try the next time I'm at the boat. Is there anything else I should try if this does not work? I live about 45 to 60 minutes away from the boat, so I'm not able to vis...

Another challenge I'm dealing with at the moment is the BMS not seeming to slow down the charging rate of the Victron Multiplus 3000 the battery gets toward full. This seems to result in the high v...

I've got a WS500 within a LiFePo system with a Balmar XT250, REC Active BMS and Victron Multiplus & Cerbo GX. It's been working quite well for 18+ months, though this past weekend my alternato...
