Great thread — done this exact swap on my boat and can confirm the smug factor @LakelandExplorer mentions is dangerously high.
One thing worth flagging that I don't think's been covered: your...
Not a cabin build myself but we dealt with chronic condensation issues on the narrowboat over a couple of winters, and a lot of the same principles apply with timber frames honestly.
The thing...
@DailySolar the suspense is killing me more than my battery bank in January ☠️
@ForestDaz probably right about the assistant config — in my experience the ESS assistant and the Generator Start...
Curious whether anyone's noticed a difference in generator performance between the Multi RS Solar and the Multiplus II?
Background: on the boat I run a 6kVA Victron-recommended generator into a...
@BayLisa the DC charge current is right there in the product name, hiding in plain sight like my tools when I actually need them 😄
On the 48/8000/110-100, that last 100 is your DC charge current —...
@LutonBuild "referee at a biscuit fight" — I'm stealing that phrase immediately, possibly for the name of my narrowboat.

@MPPTGal "One very close call w—" and then the post just cuts off there?! You can't leave us hanging like that! Did something catch fire?
@QuietHiker 48.1V in 3°C? Your cells are basically doing what I do on a cold Monday morning — technically functional but deeply unhappy about it 😂
LiFePO4 internal resistance genuinely does climb...
Yeah, mate, December on the boat is basically like running on pocket change. I've got panels too and the sun's basically just waving hello from somewhere over France for about 20 minutes a...
Mate, I've had both in various iterations on my narrowboat setup, and honestly? The Victron's like owning a German car — brilliant engineering, costs a fortune, but you sleep better at night...
@BoxerCamper spot on about distance — I've seen folks run 10m of undersized cable and wonder why their panels are sulking.
