Questions people ask
Where do I make a Victron warranty claim?
At the place you bought it. Victron's dealers handle claims on its behalf, so if we supplied the gear, we deal with it for you.
Will you look at Victron gear I bought somewhere else?
Yes. We'll find the fault and fix the install, and tell you where the warranty claim needs to go.
How long is the Victron warranty?
Five years on most Victron products, from the day the first owner bought it. Lithium batteries carry three years, lead acid two.
Can I charge lithium from my outboard?
Yes, through a DC to DC charger. Victron makes the Orion-Tr Smart for boats where the alternator charges the start battery, and the Orion XS for smart alternators.
Can I see my batteries on my chartplotter?
Yes. With a Cerbo GX or a MultiPlus-II GX, Victron's system shows on Simrad, Lowrance, B&G, Garmin, Raymarine and Furuno displays.
How do I stop shore power corroding the boat?
Victron's Galvanic Isolator goes behind the boat's 230 volt inlet and blocks the stray current that eats underwater metal.
Heat takes power away
Darwin's average maximum sits above 30 °C every month of the year, and power gear gives up output as it heats. Victron rates a MultiPlus-II 3000 at 2,400 watts at 25 °C and 2,200 watts at 40 °C.
So where the gear goes, and how it breathes, matters as much as its size. We plan both before anything gets mounted.
Victron's lithium warranty asks for proof the battery was used correctly. Charging it on the right profile from the outboard is part of the job.
-
Lithium batteries and power systems
More usable power at a fraction of the weight, charged properly from the outboard, shore power and solar.
-
Boat rewiring and tidy-ups
Old boats collect wiring. We strip it back and rebuild it properly, with every circuit labelled.
-
New boat fit-outs
A new hull is the best chance to get it right. We plan the electrical side before anything gets drilled.
