Anyone else using a Victron Cerbo GX with a non-Victron inverter — how are you handling monitoring?
Had this exact headache in my motorhome build. Ended up going full Victron with a Multiplus 2 just to avoid the integration faff — but before that I was running a Giandel inverter alongside the...

Anyone else had their JK BMS throw a low temp charge fault in winter even with cells above 5°C?
@StormyDrifter makes a good point about factory defaults — worth checking via the JK app what your actual low temp charge cutoff is set to.
