2021 Tab 400 Boondock Victron setup specs

Geegee · November 2021

I am unable to find the correct setup specs for my (2) 6v AGM Battery system to properly program using the Victron app. I have been led to believe that changes need to be made even though it was set up at the factory.
Love the T@B, dislike the numerous technicalities - so thankful for the forums!

The Victron controller automatically detects the voltage, so unless you change batteries, it will set to 12 V.

Here is a manual. https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Manual_SmartSolar_MPPT_75-10_up_to_100-20/MPPT_solar_charger_manual-en.pdf

GeeGee, There are 5-7 setting that need to be tweaked.

Here it is......

@Geegee - do you mean the Victron solar charge controller or do you have the Victron Battery Monitor? The factory only installs the controllers as standard. @TabbyShack has shared info for the Victron 712 Battery Monitor.

Thanks Sharon
Yes, I do mean the Victron solar charge controller. It seems like every search takes me to info for the Battery Monitor. Even the "Delaney's" you tube about the Solar Controller had a link that took me to the Battery Monitor. There must be someone else that went through this out there. Hopefully we'll connect.

Sorry GeeGee, more of the same from me then!

This is the manual for the Victron Solar Controller, which is where you need to be. In the Victron App, there are some very basic setups for your AGM battery under: Settings/Battery Preset...and then what Victron calls a "rotary switch" for whatever reason. In the page of the Manual that explains this setup, the setting 1 or 2 would be suitable for an AGM battery........

This page from a Victron Forum is where I found this info. And, yes...Victron is such a leader with their stuff...but who writes these things?

Here is what I used before I installed 4 x BB's which worked great!

I also have the setting that worked for me on the BMV-712. If you need them, let me know.

Thanks everyone. Seeing the page in the manual has convinced me that even though it was suggested to change the settings, i think I should take the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach. I appreciate your help with this.

I have a 2021 Tab Boondock 400 Solo. Been going over all the stuff, one by one, and now time to tackle the solar panels, and all the components associated with it. I bought the 400 used, but previous owner never used it. Don’t think anything has been checked, tested etc. Need help, direction. Thanks

Find the Victron app, which is being discussed in this thread. You will need to figure out if the App has ever been used before. If there is a password already stored, you might not be able to log into the App. (We know how to reset the Victron to have it work for you).

Link to the App:

Do you know if you have a "Victron Shunt?" This is another monitoring device that connects directly to the battery. The App should also point out if you have a "Shunt". It will be attached to your battery, and looks like this:

Find the App, and see if you can log into it, and it will answer a lot of questions.

Hi all, I have a 2021 Tab boondock with the factory installed solar. I downloaded the VictronConnect app and am in settings but don’t have a clue what everything should be set on. Is there a simple cheat sheet that lists the specific settings? I’m lost.

Ksublett · March 2022

Do I just set it like the post from Dutch061 posted?

Denny16 · March 2022

That is a good starting point. Should work fine.
Cheers
