Multiplus2-gx + solaredge + lg-chem
Oh this thread has pulled me in because I went through exactly this saga last summer with my static caravan setup!

Swapped to lithium on my narrowboat – shore power charger now playing up
Ooh this brings back memories — I had exactly this chaos when I sorted out my static caravan setup a couple of years back.

Swapped out the old Victron MPPT on the narrowboat – worth every penny?
@JubileeClipHero oh I need to hear the end of that sentence! 😄 But yes — the SmartSolar range is something else isn't it.

Shepherd's hut solar setup — is 400W enough for year-round use?
Really good point from @GeoffHenderson80 — loads matter enormously. My static caravan setup taught me that the hard way.

Anyone else finding EV charging off-grid genuinely painful in winter?
@FormerCop77 oh mate, I feel this post in my soul. My setup's a bit more modest — 10kWh Fogstar and a 3kW array on the static — and winter EV charging has become this whole strategic operation...

Nieuw Victron 3-fase systeem en onduidelijke waardes op VRM portal
Right so this happened to me when I first got my Multiplus-II set up on the static caravan — I was convinced the whole system was lying to me 😅 The penny finally dropped when I realised VRM was...

Trouble instaling Cerbo GX
@BurnWalker oh this brings back memories! I did something similar when I upgraded my static caravan setup — not a narrowboat, but the Cerbo threw me completely because I'd assumed it was a...

Anyone else using cheap Chinese PWM controllers or is it false economy?
@WayneTaylor that warranty timing thing is uncanny isn't it — mine did exactly the same! So here's my experience from a slightly different angle.

Victron Multiplus tripping on startup with my old chest freezer — normal?

Multiplus - BMS Lost, Battery Low
Ooh, this one's a proper headache. I had something similar with my static caravan setup last year—the Multiplus just refused to play ball once the BMS went silent.

Parallel vs series solar panels — which is better?
Right, I'll give you the narrowboat-specific angle since I've been down this exact road with my static caravan setup. Series wins on a boat, and here's why: your roof space is precious and your...
