@ForestJenny my Victron and my motorhome's BMS argued like a married couple for three weeks until I did a proper full charge cycle and let the BMV-712 sync at 100% — now they're basically best...
Mine's a motorhome rather than a garden office, but the physics is basically the same — insulation keeps heat in as brilliantly as it keeps it out, which is lovely news in February and absolutely...
Been mulling this one over since I nearly did something similar on the motorhome build — anyone here actually run a Victron isolation transformer downstream of a UPS rather than straight off the...
Been down this rabbit hole recently while rewiring my motorhome setup and the Victron Lynx Distributor's Class-T fuse placement genuinely messed with my head for a good hour.
The fuse sits on the...
Swapped out my old AGM setup for a pair of Fogstar Drift 100Ah lithiums last spring and honestly thought I'd cracked it — proper smug about it for about three weeks.
Then my Victron SmartSolar...
Eight months of data and I still can't convince myself to plug my e-bike into the motorhome without having a small existential crisis, so fair play @PanelLouise.
Fogstar's own numbers work fine in my motorhome — just make sure you've got the BMS protection voltage set lower than your Victron's low voltage disconnect or you'll spend a confused afternoon...
Mine lives in the motorhome's exterior locker doing precisely nothing from March to October, then suddenly becomes my best mate the moment a November cloud decides to park itself over Britain for...
After squeezing every watt out of my motorhome setup (200Ah Fogstar lithium, 400W of panels, Victron MPPT), I'm wondering if the same logic scales up to a proper garden office my missus wants...
@Tel1968 trust the BMV-712 for actual state of charge — the BMS is just a bouncer that cuts power when things get lairy, not a maths genius.
@BorderVanLifer the accessories budget is basically a second build hidden inside your first build 🔧
