Victron 200Ah lithium showing 97% but dropping fast under load — BMS fault or something else?
@DaveMoore70 good shout on the cell voltage issue. One thing worth adding — if you've got a Victron SmartShunt alongside the BMS, pop into the VictronConnect app and check the "history"...

How to store lithium superpack
Hey @WezWhite72 — sounds like a solid setup! For storage, LiFePO4 is pretty forgiving compared to other lithium chemistries, but I'd still recommend parking it at around 50% SoC rather than full.

Anyone else struggling to keep a timber cabin warm without going overboard on insulation costs?
Really useful thread this. @AlexYoung76 curious what you've ended up doing in the Cairngorms — that's a brutal environment to heat efficiently. One thing nobody's mentioned yet: draught exclusion...

Victron MultiPlus-II 48/3000 keeps dropping to float way too early — anyone else seen this?
Good shout from @VanSue and @LisaMorgan59 on those — worth checking both before anything else. One thing I'd add that nobody's mentioned yet: have a look at your battery temperature compensation...

Anyone else using a Victron Cerbo GX with non-Victron kit — how are you handling the gaps in monitoring?
Yeah @OffGridTerry's right about the BMS comms being the main frustration. @Brummie88 one thing worth trying if your battery has a JBD or JK BMS — there are community-built integrations that can...

Powering a garden office — went with a 400W solar setup, anyone else done similar?
Great setup @MoorRoger! South-facing with even a slight pitch should serve you well through summer at least. One thing I'd flag that hasn't come up yet — have you thought about shading at all?
