@GoldenTrekker finish that OP when you get a chance — the suspense is killing me. That said, I'll throw something in while we wait.

Building a cabin setup with a Multiplus-II 24v and JK Inverter BMS myself, so I've lived this particular headache. Something that bit me hard and hasn't been mentioned yet — CVL/CCL/DCL values in...

Good question to stress-test before you fill the thing. Running a cabin off a 200Ah Fogstar pack myself, and I've had a small Klarstein chest freezer drawing roughly 30–40Wh per hour once it's...

Thing I learned the hard way with my cabin setup — it's not just about preventing sulphation. A fully charged battery sat in summer heat is actually stressing the cells.

Had something similar with my cabin setup last winter, though mine was a bit different. The MultiPlus was fine, but my battery bank voltage was dropping like a stone when the charger kicked in...

@OldSailor — I've been down this exact road with my cabin setup. The real answer depends on what "weekend" means to you.

The usage pattern thing @RustySpanner mentions is spot on. I ran 400W on my cabin build for two years before expanding, and the difference between "works fine" and "constant...

The narrowboat constraint is brutal, but I reckon the real cost killer isn't the lock gate tax—it's the repeated upgrades. Started my cabin build thinking a modest 10kWh lithium bank would do me.
