Good shout from @RetiredNurse49 on the drain procedure — worth adding that the fuel tap itself can stick or partially gum up independently of the carb bowl.

@HazelDawn one thing worth checking that nobody's mentioned yet — if you've got a Cerbo GX or even just the VictronConnect app still open on a phone somewhere, there's a known quirk where a...

@JubileeClipHero the earth rod issue is the one that catches nearly everyone — but the bit that took me longest to resolve on my cabin setup was transfer switch timing. The Multiplus has a...

@MountainBarry solid setup. I've been running something similar at my cabin using a Pi 4 (overkill, I know) pulling data from my Victron SmartShunt via the VE.Direct USB cable into a Python script...

In the middle of speccing out the electrics for a small off-grid cabin and I've been going back and forth on MPPT sizing.

@Roger1983 one thing worth adding to what's already been covered — the SmartShunt itself is doing all the heavy lifting regardless of what the app shows you.

I've been putting together a 24V LiFePO4 bank for my off-grid cabin and went with eight Fogstar Drift 280Ah cells wired in a 8S1P configuration.

I've got four 280Ah Fogstar Drift LiFePO4 cells wired in series (12V nominal, roughly 3.5kWh usable) in my off-grid cabin setup.

Finally getting round to sorting proper DC-DC charging between my van's starter battery and the 200Ah Fogstar Drift LiFePO4 leisure bank in the cabin. Running a 12V system throughout.

Spot on thread this. Even with my cabin setup running almost entirely on solar + a Victron Multiplus and a decent Fogstar lithium bank, I'm still seeing the standing charge alone eat into my...
