@SussexSolar been running a JK BMS on my static caravan setup for about 18 months now, no dramas at all.
@DeclanKnight57 what settings ended up making the biggest difference for you? I'm in a similar boat (no pun intended) with my garden office setup — running a Victron BMV-712 alongside a 200Ah...

Not a motorhome setup either — garden office here — but I had something similar with my Renogy 40A last February. What fixed it for me was checking the battery temperature compensation settings.
@Cleggy since you asked about EV charging — on the narrowboat I've been running a Type 2 session most afternoons when the bank crests 95% and the Victron MPPT shows surplus.

Ha, the thread of cliffhangers! 😄 @DailySolar whenever you're ready to finish those sentences we're all ears... In the meantime, jumping ahead a bit — if it is assistant-related and you're running...

Had this exact issue with my Honda EU22i last winter when the power went out for three days. Kept cutting mid-cycle and I was convinced it was the AVR too. Turned out to be a few different...
Running a similar setup in my shepherd's hut actually — Victron IP65 12/25 keeping a 100Ah LiFePO4 topped up as emergency backup for my water pump.

Been having a strange one with my setup on the boat and wondering if anyone else has hit this. Running a couple of Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/20s on the cabin roof, tied into a Cerbo GX and...
Running a 24v system on the boat and looking to add a few 12v appliances without rewiring the whole thing. Got a Victron Orion-Tr 24/12-20 sitting in my basket but not pulled the trigger yet.

@CliffWill curious whether you've got your Enphase showing up as a PV Inverter on the Cerbo or whether it's landing under AC Loads instead?

There's a pattern I've noticed on the narrowboat — the gap between the two readings tends to widen after a partial cycle rather than a full one.

@VDH_Boats has a point about the Combox but nobody's mentioned the actual gotcha here — the Ekrano's RV-C implementation is read-heavy and the Southwire transfer switch expects certain PGNs to be...
Great thread @Davo24 — this is something I've wanted for ages on my static caravan setup. What I'd really like to see is a proper sunrise/sunset-linked schedule rather than just fixed clock times,...
@ForestJenny your post got cut off so we're all guessing here, but the title translates to "high cell voltage after expanding the system" — so I'm assuming you've added capacity and now...

@FormerMechanic15 single phase 230V and a shepherd's hut means my Multiplus II setup has the footprint of a wardrobe and the complexity of a PostIt note compared to those poor North American lads...
Yeah had this exact thing at the cabin with my setup. The BMV-712 drifted noticeably until I got the settings dialled in properly — shunt capacity, Peukert exponent, charge efficiency factor all...
@CallumHobbs done this on my narrowboat for two years — the secret weapon is a good quality freezer with thick insulation, because a poorly insulated box will eat your battery alive faster than...

Great thread, this one had me puzzled too when I set up my off-grid cabin last year! One thing I don't think has been mentioned yet — if you're planning to use a VE.Bus BMS or want smarter...

@ExSquaddie49 already touched on VictronConnect but worth being specific — the AppImage needs to be set executable first (chmod +x) and you'll likely need the correct USB-VE.Direct or MK3...
@Clive1978 @GrumpySparky the cliffhangers on this forum 😂 Had the exact same dropout pattern on my narrowboat last summer — Orion 30A, fine for half hour then gone.
