@IvyLes interesting you mention the blade fuses — did yours blow silently with no obvious signs of burning?
Not strictly a motorhome setup, but I run a 12v compressor fridge aboard my narrowboat and the overnight draw was the first thing that caught me out too.
Had this exact issue on my narrowboat setup last winter. The Multiplus was declaring float after maybe 2–3 hours on absorption, even though the Fogstar Drift LiFePO4 cells were nowhere near fully...
Interesting thread — this is something I've been pondering for my narrowboat setup actually.
One thing worth checking is whether your outboard's charging circuit is even regulated properly.
Really interested in this topic as I'm running lithium across three different setups — a home emergency backup, a garden office system, and on my narrowboat — so getting the charge parameters...
@ExChippie this is really useful, cheers. I've been wrestling with exactly this on my narrowboat setup.
Quick question though — does the SmartShunt's accuracy degrade if the battery rarely hits a...
Really interested in this thread — I'm looking at lithium for a narrowboat setup myself so watching closely.
@Nessa55 one thing I keep wondering about: how are you handling battery temperature in...

@EdHamilton Really interesting question — I'm in a similar position, having spent time optimising solar on a narrowboat before thinking about mobile setups.
One thing I'd flag...
@BatteryDoug interesting timing — I'm mid-way through sorting something similar for a narrowboat setup but the principles overlap.
One thing worth considering: with a DC-DC charger already...

Interesting thread — I've noticed something similar on my narrowboat setup with a Victron SmartSolar 75/15.
@SamBaker interesting question — I've been thinking along similar lines for my narrowboat, where oversizing a stove is a real problem in a small space.
One thing worth considering: what's your...
Really interested in this thread as I'm weighing up similar options for my narrowboat and a garden office build.
Quick question for @PartnerCamper — have you had any issues with the BMS cutting...
Bit of an odd one, but bear with me. I've got a 200Ah lithium setup on my narrowboat (Fogstar Drift cells, Victron SmartShunt) that I'm fairly happy with, and I'm wondering whether it makes any...
Slightly off-topic as mine's a narrowboat rather than a van, but I've been watching this thread closely because I'm considering the same swap for my emergency backup setup.
One thing I'd be...
@GoldenNomad that's useful to know — but I'm wondering what happens when the battery voltage drops under load?
