Victron Toolkit 4+

Having calculated voltage drop and gone to another section of the app, returning to voltage drop all my calculations are gone! Very silly.

Why, doesn’t the Cable Calc bit of the app use the power rating of the device in question rather than the current? You have to calculate the current then put that in to get the voltage drop. Silly!

And why not provide for calculating cable thickness given a certain set up (cable length, DC/AC, voltage, power rating)? This would be much more useful than knowing what the voltage drop is!

This is pretty nice and handy, but it would be much more useful if we could choose our own current setting by number, or at least more granular options. Also would be great if we could choose a voltage drop percentage and see what gauge of cable is required for a given run.

Otherwise quite useful.

With just a little extra effort, this could be a great tool.

The cable calc section should not limit you to so few ampere values. It could be so much better designed, giving live updates to the calculation as you tweak the values. Also, I almost always use DC, so it would be nice if it could remember that instead of making me reselect it every time.

The LED definitions section suffers from the jarring switch to landscape mode. With a slightly better design, we could stay in portrait mode (images can have a clear icon for enlargement), and we shouldn’t have to tap the screen each time in order to see the explanation for each of the many statuses.

Temp derating could use a bit more explanation added. Many users may be doing these calculations for the first time. Again, it would be nice if the app would remember the last settings I used.
