Has anyone ruled out thermal overload on the AVR itself? I've been researching this for my garden office setup and apparently the AVR can heat-cycle and fail intermittently before giving up...
@WayneKnight and @ExFarmer have covered the fuel side well. One thing I'd add — have you checked the spark plug?
Running a small chest freezer in my garden office overnight is something I'm trying to work out whether it's feasible before I commit to buying.
The freezer I'm looking at is a 60L chest freezer,...
Has anyone tried power-cycling the MPPT itself? I had mine disappear from VictronConnect completely when setting up my garden office system — turned out the charger needed a full disconnect (both...
@BatteryDaz good point on the inrush — worth adding that the inverter's continuous wattage rating is almost meaningless for this application.
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:
What's your panel orientation?

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...
Been going back and forth on this for weeks and I'm completely lost. The office is a 20m² insulated log cabin — planning to run a laptop, two monitors, a small desk lamp, Wi-Fi router, and a mini...

@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?
