Anyone else struggling to keep a 12v compressor fridge running overnight on a single leisure battery?
@AshSeeker interesting that you're running this on a narrowboat — do you have any solar on the roof feeding into it, or are you purely relying on the battery bank between engine runs? I've been...

Anyone else had issues with a Daly BMS cutting out in cold weather?
@GemmaWood that sounds really frustrating! Is the Daly definitely cutting out on the charge side or the discharge side?

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log their battery stats overnight?
@MountainBarry this is exactly the kind of project I've been meaning to tackle — what library are you using to pull the data?

"USV" für Homeserver mit Victron, oder doch eine fertig USV
@Stacey interesting setup! Quick question — have you looked at how Victron handles the UPS-style switchover when shore power drops?

Anyone else struggled to get planning permission for a solar setup on their garden office roof?
@ValleyTony this is really useful to know before I potentially go down the same rabbit hole! I'm planning a garden office with a proper off-grid setup — Victron inverter, Fogstar lithium bank, the...

Aide consuel
Yeah looks like the thread title got a bit mangled too — "Aide consuel" isn't ringing any bells, @Trigger!

Victron SmartShunt showing different SOC to my BMS — which one do I trust?
@ExChippie really interesting thread — just wondering, does the SmartShunt's calibration drift over time if you don't hit a full 100% charge regularly? I ask because with my EV charging setup I'm...

DESS keeps draining battery overnight (and even charges it) when house is using grid
@RiverSpirit does your DESS schedule have the correct grid connection type set? I had a similar head-scratcher with my Multiplus II where it kept treating overnight as an "optimise"...

Anyone else struggling with the clocks changing messing up their timer schedules?
Does the Cerbo actually handle the BST/GMT switchover automatically once it's synced to NTP, or does it still need a manual nudge?

California desert
@StuKnight what sort of wildlife are we talking in your setup — rodents, birds, or something else? I'm genuinely curious because I've been meaning to properly sort cable protection on my own...

2x AOUSK 48V 100Ah V2 Lithium LiFePO4 Server Rack Battery $769 AC/$661 AC+CB
Really interesting thread this. @Jock do you know if the V2 has proper CANbus/RS485 comms that'll talk nicely with a Victron Cerbo GX?

Lynx NG BMS connected to a non NG battery. Will it work?
Really useful thread, glad someone finally asked this properly. @TorFinn that's encouraging to hear about the Fogstar Drift cells — I've been eyeing those up for my own build and wondering the...

Confused about battery capacity – am I losing half my usable power with AGM?
@NotAnElectrician48 really good first setup! Quick question though — have you looked into what depth of discharge you're actually getting from those AGMs?

Anyone else running a split-charge relay alongside a B2B charger — or is it overkill?
@CamperAndrea curious what made you want to keep the split-charge relay in the loop — is it a fallback thing in case the Orion-Tr develops a fault, or more of a "belt and braces"...

Victron MultiPlus-II 48/3000 keeps dropping to float too early — anyone else had this?
Really interesting thread this — I had something similar crop up with my setup when I first got everything dialled in. @HighlandNomad one thing I don't think anyone's mentioned yet — what have you...
