@SussexSolar the 2am Off Grid Garage spiral is basically a rite of passage on here isn't it 😅
Quick question before you go further — are you planning to integrate the JK BMS with a Victron system?
Interesting situation this, and something I've been mulling over myself for the narrowboat build I'm planning.
From what I understand, the panel configuration is the critical bit here — not just...
Been having a similar headache with my setup on the narrowboat. Running a Victron Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-30 feeding a 200Ah Fogstar Drift lithium and it took me ages to figure out why it kept...
@MrBodge65 is probably right about the factory sourcing. Has anyone actually pulled the internals apart on one of these?
Really useful thread @ExSquaddie49 — been eyeing up the golf cart battery route for my narrowboat build and the choice is overwhelming.
Quick question that might be worth covering in your...
Had something similar on my narrowboat build last spring — turned out to be the BMS going into protection mode and just refusing to wake up without a bit of coaxing.
Few questions that might help...

Does anyone know whether the rules differ between operators? I'm planning a Stena crossing later this year with my narrowboat batteries (also Fogstar Drift, same as...
