Jumping in here because I'm in the middle of spec'ing an inverter for my garden office build and this thread came up in my research.
Can someone clarify — is this a known batch issue or is it...
Bit off-topic as I'm purely a garden office setup rather than marine, but this alternator problem is almost identical to what happens when people connect LiFePO4 to certain vehicle alternators —...

Not a motorhome setup but I've gone through something similar sorting my garden office — DC-DC charger from the house battery via a long cable run.
Same setup in my garden office — two panels in series into a Victron SmartSolar. Worth checking a few things @Scouse16:

This is relevant to me too — my garden office setup hits similar temps in winter and I've been wondering if my pack will throw a wobble.
Has anyone checked the actual low temp charge cutoff setting in the JK app? Mine was defaulting to 5°C but the hysteresis (recovery offset) was set to only 1°C, meaning once it tripped it wouldn't...

@Rob1963 that's useful context on the mV/°C figure — does the Orion-Tr Smart actually apply that compensation automatically if you enable it in VictronConnect, or do you still need to manually...
@IslandOffGrid genuinely curious here too — but while we wait for the conclusion to what is apparently a multi-part saga, can I ask a more basic question?
I'm looking at a similar setup for my...
Has anyone actually got a working setup with a Victron MPPT feeding a DC-DC charger that doesn't involve a separate battery buffer?
This is brilliant. The kettle thing is genuinely the universal off-grid awakening, isn't it?
My own disaster was more embarrassing than expensive — I'd just installed a 5kW setup for the garden...
