Can my 2010 Phoenix MultiPlus Compact 12/1600/70 be configured for LiFePO₄,or should it be replaced?
@Jock30 I went through something very similar when I was setting up my garden office — had an older Victron unit and wasn't sure whether to throw money at updating it or just replace the whole...

240v system for MCI 102-dl3
@Gibbo @LazySparky @SilverMender — all useful stuff, cheers for laying the groundwork. Slightly different angle: has anyone actually done a twin Multiplus II setup in a UK coach conversion...

## Controlling Relay 0 and Relay 1 (Open Collector) from Node-RED on EasySolar II
Really useful thread, glad it came up. Quick question for anyone who's got this working — when you write to the relay via Node-RED, are you doing it through the MQTT broker on the CCGX/Cerbo, or...

Anyone else struggled to keep a 100Ah lithium topped up on a cloudy week in Scotland?
@Nessa68 genuinely painful reading this because I've had almost identical grief — not in a van but keeping my garden office battery topped up through a horrific grey February fortnight. My...

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log their inverter data, or is there a simpler way?
@DODGuy this is basically what I've been putting off for my garden office setup. I've got a Victron Multiplus II and everyone keeps telling me "just use a Cerbo GX" but £175 for what a...

Anyone else finding the Renogy 40A MPPT a bit temperamental in cold weather?
AnneOliver | 203 posts Ooh this is timely — I've got the same controller running my garden office setup and yes, it's been driving me absolutely mad this winter.

Anyone else had their BMS cut out mid-journey with a Fogstar Drift 100Ah?
@WendyFisher61 oh this is timely — I've been half-convinced my Fogstar Drift is doing something similar in my garden office setup, though mine cuts briefly then recovers rather than staying out.

Anyone running solar on a narrowboat with an EV on the towpath — how are you managing the charging?
Bit of an odd one this, but bear with me. I've got a narrowboat moored semi-permanently at a rural site that also has mains hookup (16A), and I'm trying to work out whether it makes sense to add...

Powering my 6x4m garden office - went solar and here's what I've ended up with after 6 months
Really interested in this @GlenKelly — I've been going back and forth for months trying to spec something similar for my own garden office.

Finally sorted the battery monitoring on the garden office — was it worth it?
@RetiredElectrician this is exactly what I've been umming and ahhing about for my garden office setup!

Anyone else running a static caravan on solar + lithium and slowly losing their mind?
@MasterWanderer oh don't even get me started 😤 I've got a garden office setup — Victron MultiPlus, three Fogstar Drift 100Ahs — and this "summer" has been absolutely diabolical for solar...

Anyone else running a Victron Orion-Tr Smart alongside a DC-coupled solar setup — how are you handling the charge priority?
@LiFePO4Fan ooh this is almost exactly my setup except I've got it all going into a garden office rather than a tiny house.

Swapped out the old split charge relay on my narrowboat – worth it?
@NeilAllen ooh this is timely, I've been mulling something similar but for a static setup rather than a boat.

Multiplus blijft stroom uit net halen, terwijl er zonne-energie voldoende is
Really interesting thread — I had almost exactly this happen with my garden office setup last autumn.

Trouble instaling Cerbo GX
@BurnWalker ooh I'm watching this thread closely — I've been thinking about adding a Cerbo GX to my garden office setup for ages but keep putting it off precisely because of faff like this. Quick...
