Component pages: real specs, the safety notes that matter, and reviews

Every component we have checked over now has its own page: the specs the manufacturer actually publishes, the wiring hazards specific to that part — what to fuse it with, which cable to connect first, what cold weather does to the voltage limit — the datasheets to download, and the parts it works with. Signed in, you can rate it and write up how it held up in your build. The whole catalogue is searchable.

A page for every battery size: 100Ah in Wh, 1000Wh in Ah

Look up your exact capacity instead of typing it: 13 amp-hour sizes and 13 watt-hour sizes, each with the conversion at 12V, 24V and 48V, how much of it you can really use on LiFePO4 against AGM, how long it runs a fridge or a diesel heater, and how many standard modules add up to it. Also the answer to the question every datasheet raises: why a 100Ah battery is labelled 1,280Wh and not 1,200Wh. In all six languages.

Will your inverter actually start that appliance?

A fridge or air conditioner pulls several times its rated power for the second it starts. We now say so before you buy — and flag a modified sine inverter that cannot run your electronics.

Plan your 230 V appliances too

Kettle, induction hob, coffee machine — add mains appliances alongside your 12 V gear. They show up in the wiring diagram on their own tier below the inverter and get their own step in the build guide, and the runtime accounts for what the inverter loses converting as well as the power it burns just being switched on.

Build your battery bank in one go

Pick a chemistry, type amp-hours or watt-hours — whichever you have on the datasheet — and say how many. Any capacity works, not just the ones we list, and you see straight away what the bank gives you: usable energy, weight, cycle life and how long it runs your loads.

Battery list cleaned up, prices corrected

The same battery no longer appears four times at four different prices, and the prices are realistic again — one row was listed at five times what the battery costs.

Every article says where AI helped

Blog posts now carry a short note about how they were written and checked, so you can judge the source for yourself.

Faster sign-in, now with Apple

Signing in asks for your email first and then only for what it still needs. Apple accounts work too.

You're signed in right after signing up

No more waiting for a confirmation mail before you can start planning. Verification runs in the background.

Step-by-step build instructions

Your diagram turns into an ordered build guide, with the part for each step highlighted in the drawing as you work through it.

Split your system into separate circuits

Plan several circuits in one diagram, link them where one feeds the other, and export a wiring plan per circuit.

Add your own charger, specs filled in for you

Type the model name and the assistant looks up voltage and power, instead of you reading it off a datasheet.

No charger prompt for alternator plus lead-acid

If your alternator charges a lead-acid bank directly, VoltPlan no longer asks you to add a charger you don't need.

Describe an appliance, we fill in the numbers

For devices that aren't in the library, write what it is and the assistant proposes power draw and voltage.

Cable calculator app on Android

The cable sizing app is available as a beta in the Google Play Store, alongside the iOS version.

Calculators in your language

All ten calculators now exist in German, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch, each at its own address.

Sin fechas a propósito: este es el orden aproximado de lo que preparamos. Lo terminado pasa a la lista de arriba.

All-in-one units like the Victron MultiPlus

One box that is both charger and inverter currently has to be entered as one or the other.

Portable power stations

Units like the BLUETTI Elite 300 hold a battery, chargers and an inverter in one case.
