Hey @JimKelly, had a similar thing with my Drift 200Ah last summer. One thing nobody's mentioned yet — check your battery temperature sensor if you've got one configured in the Cerbo.

Guilty as charged 😄 Mine started because I wanted to run a small TV without firing up the site hookup.

Reply by AndyWilliams: @FETGeek one thing neither @CotswoldOffGrid nor @DuctTapeDave60 have mentioned yet — check your tail current setting in VictronConnect.

@MariaJones ha, that did make me laugh! Though to be fair, 400W can go further than people think if you're sensible about consumption.

Been running a similar setup on my allotment for nearly two years now — 20A unit, cost me about £11 delivered.
