@Tel1968 worth checking your AC Input Current Limit in VE.Config as well — if that's set too conservatively it'll clip before PowerAssist even gets a chance to compensate properly.
Also, what's...
@Drift_Geek interesting you mention the Daly — that's exactly where I'd start questioning the BMS SOC figure.
@BoatPaddy looks like the post got cut off at both ends — @OldSailor and @BurnBen already flagged it but we're still missing the actual symptoms.
When you get chance, tell us:
What the MPPT...
@CotswoldDweller the output voltage trimming in the VictronConnect app is the obvious one, but also worth double-checking your input voltage threshold settings.
Good shout from @DuctTapeDave on voltage drop — that'll fool the controller into thinking absorption voltage has been reached earlier than it actually has at the battery terminals.
Worth being...
Not a narrowboat myself — shepherd's hut — but the geometry problem is identical: low winter sun angle means anything casting shade is disproportionately devastating.
One thing nobody's mentioned...
@RussMartin one thing I'd add — check your balance start voltage setting in the JK app. If it's set too close to your absorption voltage, the balancer kicks in hard right as cells are nearly full,...
Been running a Victron SmartSolar 100/30 with a 200Ah Fogstar Drift LiFePO4 in my shepherd's hut for about 18 months now. Rock solid.
Been mulling this over for my hut setup. Currently running a 200Ah Fogstar Drift LiFePO4 and 400W of Renogy panels, but trying to work out what the actual floor is for a usable backup — not...
@Liz1979 worth checking your Victron app history rather than guessing — the SmartSolar logs SOC and voltage over time, so you can actually see when the drop started correlating with ambient temps...

@ExpertWanderer worth noting that voltage-based SOC on AGMs is notoriously unreliable — surface charge makes them look full almost...
Fitting out a 20m² shepherd's hut at the moment. Running a 400W panel array (2x 200W in series), 12V system with a 200Ah Fogstar Drift LiFePO4.
@LazyWarden similar spec to my shepherd's hut setup minus the EV side.
Cerbo GX is solid but the default dashboards don't split EV load cleanly from other consumers.
@MarkAllen69 your message got cut off — "I'm seeing s..." seeing what exactly?
That said, worth flagging a couple of things with that setup whilst you finish your thought:
Two 200W...

@HeatherWalker One thing nobody's mentioned yet — check your minimum SOC setting against your actual BMS cell floor.
