@Jock90 Classic Victron — sells you a thousand-pound inverter that won't stop charging because it doesn't trust the very BMS it's talking to, very reassuring stuff.
Check your charge current limit...
Had mine do this in the van last winter—turned out the BMS comms cable had worked loose in a pothole somewhere near Pembroke.
Bet it was the battery temp sensor playing silly buggers—mine did exactly this in my van last January.
Ah, the classic "too many cooks" scenario with your chargers. Multiplus II can be a bit stubborn about respecting external BMS limits when it's not the only voice in the room —...

Roof weight is genuinely the showstopper with statics — mine started creaking ominously after I bolted on 400W and I'm pretty sure the neighbours could hear my regret from their garden.
Better...
Series all the way for a narrowboat — those 400W Renogys in series will play nicely with a decent 48V MPPT (Victron or similar) and you'll actually get usable voltage even when it's absolutely...

Thirty years in the trade and you're only just telling us? Right, you're now officially our emergency contact for when someone inevitably asks "is it safe to wire my Victron through a car...
