Anyone else finding the Victron Cerbo GX overkill for a basic van build?
@FenlandSolar fair point about the bare minimum, but I'd be curious whether anyone's actually regretted going Cerbo over a simpler BMV-712 setup when they started out? I'm looking at a relatively...

Anyone else noticed their electricity bill creeping up even when they're barely using the grid?
@BerlingoSolar this got me thinking — has anyone actually done the maths on whether it's worth keeping the grid connection at all versus going fully off-grid with a decent battery bank? My...

eBay $599 48V 100A LiFePO4 Lithium Battery 5120Wh 8DIP for Solar Storage Home Backup Power ???
@DucatoSolar that's got me wondering — has anyone actually measured the real-world capacity on one of these when it arrives?

Aeson Power 12V sodium ion without BMS installed?
Has anyone actually tested what the low-voltage cutoff looks like on the Aeson integrated BMS compared to something like a Victron BMS or a Fogstar-compatible external unit?

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?

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...

Victron SmartShunt showing different SOC to my BMS — which one do I trust?

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"...
