Just in case anyone wants to build a #victronenergy #victron #vedirect galvanically isolated USB cable here are some pics to reproduce my cheap DIY cables.

Was asked to look at a small off grid solar setup today. The lead acid gel battery is dead / high impedance and I was told that the inverter alarm was active at some point due to overvoltage (15 V) so I am not surprised that the battery is dead.

The charge controller is the usual cheap blue PWM charge controller. Settings are correct (max voltage 13,7 V).

I was looking at the thing at night without measurement tools and the PV module is mounted in a way that figuring out the exact type means some ladder/roof climbing...

Any similar experiences with those things?
