Melbourne, Aug. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — For the growing team at Fix-It Right Plumbing, plumbing is a trade built on purpose, precision, and pride. But for the crew at Fix-It Right Plumbing, the job is about much more than that. It’s about pride in the work, supporting local families, and turning a hands-on trade into a rewarding, people-first profession.

In a new blog post titled “Hard Work, Big Impact: Life on the Job with Fix-It Right Plumbing,” the Melbourne-based plumbing company offers an unfiltered look at the day-to-day life of its plumbing team. From the physical demands to the satisfaction of solving complex problems, the blog captures the challenges, humour, and heart that come with being a Fix-It Right plumber.

“Being a Fix-It Right plumber isn’t just about tools and repairs,” said a representative at Fix-It Right Plumbing. “Yes, it can be tough and dirty, but it’s also deeply satisfying. Our team genuinely cares about what they do, and that shows in the results we deliver and the relationships we build.”

What makes Fix-It Right different is its focus on providing permanent solutions, not quick band-aid fixes. Every plumber is trained to diagnose the actual problem, educate the customer, and leave their home in better condition than they found it. This approach means fewer call-backs, longer-lasting results, and happier customers.

“It was our pleasure to have Thane working on a big job at our place to repair our broken sewer and stormwater pipes,” said recent customer Tony Davies. “He was always on time, always thinking up the best ways to fix the problems, shared his knowledge and talked us through what was happening every step of the way.”

It’s a sentiment echoed across hundreds of reviews from homeowners throughout Melbourne, Canberra, and beyond. Whether the job is large or small, Fix-It Right plumbers approach every site with professionalism, honesty, and attention to detail.

While no two days are the same, one thing is constant: the physical and mental demands of the job. From navigating underfloor spaces and dealing with ageing infrastructure, to handling the occasional emergency call-out, it’s work that requires grit and quick thinking.

However, for team members like Lachie, who regularly earns praise from customers, the effort is worthwhile.

“Lachie was awesome, super knowledgeable, and invested in making sure my problem was fully resolved,” wrote Rachel C., a recent client. “The company had also helped me with a leak issue a couple of years before, and I would recommend them to anyone needing quality plumbing work and expertise.”

According to Fix-It Right plumbing’s plumbers, the real reward comes from seeing the relief on a customer’s face after resolving a major issue, or from empowering a homeowner to better understand their system. Some enjoy the problem-solving aspect, while others appreciate the freedom of working in the field, and many value the strong team culture that exists.

Fix-It Right Plumbing invests heavily in its staff, offering ongoing technical training, access to up-to-date tools, and a work environment that prioritises doing things properly over rushing through jobs. This has helped the business establish a reputation not only as a service provider but also as an employer of choice in the trades sector.

“I would give Conrad 10 stars if I could – he helped me save money despite my predicament and gave me honest advice and contacts which I’m very grateful for,” said recent customer Whitney Calabro.

This level of care extends both to customers and staff. New apprentices are mentored, experienced technicians are respected, and no one is pushed to cut corners. The company has fostered a team spirit where taking pride in your work isn’t just encouraged—it’s expected.

The blog makes it clear: plumbing can be a physically demanding job, but it’s a career full of purpose. It’s about trust, integrity, and making a lasting impact. With thousands of Australian households relying on quality plumbing services every day, Fix-It Right’s customer-first approach is more than good business—it’s good citizenship.

For readers who want to understand what really happens behind the scenes—from morning toolbox meetings to tricky late-night leak repairs—the blog offers a relatable, honest account of life on the tools.

Shenzhen, China, Aug. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

LiTime, a global pioneer in energy innovation, reports that its flagship product—the 12V 100Ah Smart ComFlex Battery, featuring LiTime’s T5.0 external communication technology—has successfully achieved full compatibility and deep integration with the energy management systems of Victron Energy, a leading supplier of power solutions in the global marine market, delivering an intelligent, flexible, and affordable energy solution for users.

Full Integration Boosts Intelligent and Flexible Energy Management for RV and Marine Applications

Founded in 1975 and headquartered in the Netherlands, Victron Energy is renowned for delivering highly reliable off-grid energy solutions. With over one million active users on its VictronConnect app, the company has earned strong industry recognition for advanced user monitoring and remote energy management capabilities.

LiTime is a premium brand specializing in lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) battery technology, backed by 16 years of innovation, technical expertise, and a global customer support network. The company is dedicated to advancing intelligent, safe, and flexible energy storage solutions. Its ComFlex series is the first to feature LiTime T5.0 external communication technology, offering robust system compatibility and exceptional openness for seamless integration.

As technical leaders in their respective fields, the successful integration of LiTime batteries with Victron Energy systems highlights both companies’ excellence in intelligent communication and system interoperability—delivering an intelligent and flexible energy management solution for RV and marine users worldwide.

Moving forward, LiTime will continue to enhance compatibility with more mainstream platforms to meet the diverse needs of users across a wide range of application scenarios.

Addressing Industry Pain Points: Breakthrough Connectivity Expands User Choice

For years, RV and marine users have faced a difficult trade-off when selecting batteries to integrate with third-party energy management systems and build a complete energy control solution:

• Option 1: Purchase high-priced batteries to gain intelligent energy management.
• Option 2: Choose lower-cost alternatives that lack cell-level monitoring and real-time, battery-driven charge optimization, often requiring extra wiring and manual parameter setup.

The market is calling for an intelligent yet affordable solution that empowers more users to enjoy intelligent, efficient, and seamless energy management.

The LiTime 12V 100Ah Smart ComFlex Battery breaks this long-standing deadlock. As the first battery among similarly priced connected solutions to achieve deep communication compatibility with Victron energy management systems, it delivers cell-level monitoring and intelligent, real-time charge optimization without extra accessories or complex setup—just plug and play. Compared to high-priced alternatives offering similar intelligent connectivity, this solution is expected to significantly reduce overall system integration costs, delivering an intelligent and more affordable energy management choice for RV and marine users worldwide.

User-Driven Value Delivered Through Seamless Integration with Victron Energy Systems

• Intelligent Energy Management: The LiTime 12V 100Ah Smart ComFlex Battery supports up to 16 units in parallel and provides real-time reporting of critical data—including charge current limits, discharge current limits, charge voltage limits, and individual cell status—to the Victron system. This data, reported by the battery system, enables the system to dynamically optimize charge strategies, ensuring safe and stable operation while extending battery life and improving overall energy efficiency.
• Visualized Energy Status: Once integrated with Victron systems, the battery allows users to monitor real-time data—such as state of charge and battery health—via Victron displays, mobile apps, the Victron Remote Management (VRM) system, and RV-C or NMEA2000-compatible vehicle or marine control panels. With all key energy metrics visible on a single screen, users gain full situational awareness. The system also supports intelligent alerts for voltage,  current, and temperature anomalies to avoid unexpected power shortages during the journey.
• Plug-and-Play Installation Convenience: Featuring a built-in smart BMS and a native CAN communication interface, the LiTime battery connects directly to Victron GX communication series devices—eliminating the need for additional BMS or SmartShunt, simplifying wiring, and making installation easier than ever.
•  Remote OTA Upgrades & Open Connectivity: The battery supports over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates, allowing users to receive the latest features and performance optimizations online without returning the unit for service. OTA updates also enable continuous expansion of compatibility with additional third-party energy management systems via RS485 and CAN communication protocols, ensuring an open and easily upgradable power solution.
• Cost-Effective: With its native communication capability, the LiTime 12V 100Ah Smart ComFlex Battery seamlessly connects to Victron’s energy management framework, delivering premium-level functionality—comprehensive monitoring, intelligent energy management, and automated system configuration—at lower total cost.

 “We provide intelligent, affordable, and flexible energy solutions to power every adventure our users take,” said a LiTime specialist.

Global Product Roadmap: Accelerating the Buildout of an Intelligent Energy Ecosystem

LiTime plans to launch its 48V 100Ah Smart ComFlex Battery in the U.S. market in Q3 2025, followed by the 24V 100Ah model in Q4 2025. Both products are expected to make their German market debut later in Q4, with subsequent expansions into Australia, Japan.

The upcoming Smart ComFlex batteries are designed to fully support multiple external communication protocols and offer deep, seamless integration with the LiTime 48V 3500W and 24V 3000W All-in-One Solar inverter Charger, lowering total system integration costs even more significantly. This global rollout further accelerates the realization of LiTime’s intelligent energy ecosystem, delivering smarter, more convenient, and affordable energy management solutions for users worldwide.

Looking Ahead

LiTime’s latest technical breakthrough not only strengthens its global market competitiveness but also delivers more cost-effective and reliable energy solutions for RV and marine users worldwide.

Moving forward, LiTime will continue to expand compatibility with additional third-party brands such as SMA/GoodWe/DEYE/GROWATT based on customers’ needs, further enriching its technology ecosystem. The company is also planning to integrate AI-powered predictive analysis and edge-computing adaptive control, aiming to provide users with even more precise, intelligent, and energy-efficient power management experiences in the future.
