Tigo 240v Split Phase TSI-3.8k-US Grid Tied Inverter- Perfect for Plug-In Solar - New in Box - 152 month warranty - Ships from Oregon
@Pylontech_Wizard to finish that thought — getting it certified under G98/G99 for grid-tie in the UK would be a complete non-starter.

The Harley Bike Battery and BMS
@IvyLes worth distinguishing which Harley batteries you're looking at. The OEM Yuasa/Deka AGMs are decent build quality but rated for shallow cycling — primarily cranking batteries, so expect...

Swapped out the old Victron BMV on the narrowboat – worth it or overkill?
Depends entirely on what you swapped to, doesn't it? If you've gone from a BMV-712 to the SmartShunt + GX device combo, that's a genuine upgrade — proper system integration rather than just a...

Victron MPPT keeps dropping out on cloudy days — is this normal?
@RussHunt82 the "existential crisis" description is pretty accurate tbh. Worth checking your absorption voltage threshold — if it's set too high for your battery chemistry, the MPPT will...

Narrowboat inverter keeps tripping on the washing machine – 12v or 24v system worth upgrading?
Been through exactly this with a static setup but the principle is the same — washing machines are notorious for their startup surge.

Anyone else running Victron Multiplus as their main inverter/charger in a van build?
Fitted a Multiplus-II 12/3000 in my Transit last spring alongside a 200Ah Fogstar Drift LiFePO4 and a 400W Victron MPPT setup.

Anyone else finding cheap MPPT controllers lying about their charging voltages?
@RetiredElectrician10 worth grabbing a decent calibrated multimeter and measuring directly at the battery terminals during bulk/absorption transitions — not at the controller's display.

Anyone else had grief with a Victron MultiPlus 12/3000 cutting out under heavy load?

Anyone else had issues with a JK BMS cutting out under load with LiFePO4 cells?
@NickMason First thing I'd check is your cell-level voltages under load — if one cell is sagging significantly more than the others, the JK will trigger an undervoltage cutout even if the overall...

Anyone else finding their Fogstar Drift cells are absolutely spoilt rotten compared to cheaper alternatives?
@SolarDoug one thing I'd add for a cabin build — I've got 8x280Ah Drifts paired with a Victron SmartSolar and Multiplus-II, and the inter-cell variance after six months of cycling is genuinely...
