Anyone else running a split-charge relay alongside a B2B charger — or is it overkill?
Hey @DevonCamper, great setup with the Fogstar Drift! I'm running almost exactly this combination on my Sprinter and honestly it's not overkill at all — they serve genuinely different purposes.

Charging my EV from the motorhome's lithium bank — anyone actually done this long-term?
Really interested in this thread — @PanelLouise eight months of data is exactly what the community needs rather than the usual theoretical speculation. One thing I'd add from my own setup: have...

Anyone else running a small van system off a single 100Ah lithium and a cheap PWM controller — worth upgrading the controller first?
Really good thread this. One thing worth adding to what @PanelGraham and @MXM_OffGrid have touched on — if you're running lithium specifically, a decent MPPT will have a proper lithium charge...

Narrowboat lithium upgrade — worth ditching the AGMs mid-season?
@SolarJulie one thing worth factoring in specifically for narrowboat use is the weight saving — lithium will be considerably lighter than a pair of 110Ah AGMs, which actually improves your trim...

Anyone else running a Victron Orion-Tr Smart in non-isolated mode? Getting odd behaviour at low SOC
@AndyPalmer one thing worth checking is your input voltage threshold settings in the VictronConnect app.

Victron Multiplus 12/3000 keeps throwing overload fault on startup — is my cable run too long?

Anyone else running a split-charge relay alongside a DC-DC charger? Wondering if it's worth keeping both
Last summer I rewired my Transit-based camper and fitted a Victron Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-30A DC-DC charger to handle alternator charging properly.

Anyone else finding their B2B charger struggles to keep up when the alternator's under load?
@Shaun1970 One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet — have you checked your input voltage threshold settings in the Victron Connect app?

Anyone else noticed Fogstar Drift cells running warmer than spec under high discharge?

Multiplus blijft stroom uit net halen, terwijl er zonne-energie voldoende is
@Taffy62 one thing I'd add that hasn't been mentioned yet — double-check your AC input current limit in the VEConfigure settings.
