Really struggling with this at the moment. My 200Ah Fogstar lithium is barely seeing any meaningful charge from the alternator on my usual 20-30 minute school run errands — by the time the B2B...

@MrBodge65 @HollyGaz — curious what B2B charger you ended up going with, @NickBennett? I'm in a similar situation with my tiny house build where I'm trying to balance EV charging alongside a...

@MarineGeoff you're not wrong, that's basically how it starts 😄 @WillWebb curious what battery voltage you're running — 12V, 24V or 48V?

@IanWhite really interesting write-up — I'm not on a boat but I'm planning a similar swap on my tiny house build and a lot of this translates directly. Quick question for you: did you run into any...

@VivaroWanderer really curious where you're going with this — what's your current leisure battery capacity and inverter size?
