@NQ_Sparks yeah the post got clipped so we're all a bit in the dark about what the actual fault is — finish the description and we'll get somewhere useful.
That said, three-phase Multiplus-II...

Had almost the exact same situation with my static caravan setup last summer — two banks that had drifted apart in resting voltage after I'd been running them separately for...
@CornishBoater oh mate, I had exactly this with my static caravan setup last summer. Four Fogstar cells, Victron BMS, same story — two cells racing ahead while the others lagged behind like they...
@Rob1963 this is exactly what pushed me to rethink the whole setup at my static. Standing charge was quietly eating £8-9 a month before I'd used a single watt — felt like paying rent on a...
So I've been going back and forth on this for weeks and my brain is properly fried.
Currently setting up a little static caravan as a weekend escape but I keep eyeing up narrowboat builds for the...
Not a narrowboat person myself — I'm mostly static caravan and cabin stuff — but I've had the Victron Multiplus running in my caravan for a couple of seasons now and the remote monitoring alone...
Been mulling this over for a while, ever since I got the static caravan setup running properly last summer.
Great points all round. What nobody's mentioned yet is the duty cycle trap — I spent an embarrassing amount of time scratching my head in a Tesco car park last summer wondering why my Dometic was...

Took me about...
Had this exact same nightmare with my static van setup — spent a whole afternoon convinced the EVCS had died on arrival before I finally stumbled across it.
One thing nobody's mentioned yet: check...
@HeatherWalker mine started as a "quick weekend project" on the cabin and somehow evolved into this sprawling thing pulling data from the Victron via VE.Direct and a cheap RS485 dongle...
@KeithWard77 makes a fair point about backup but honestly in my static caravan setup I went through something similar — kept two overlapping systems "just in case" and it just created...
Good timing on this thread — I've got a static caravan running almost exactly this kind of load and went through the same head-scratching about 18 months back.
One thing nobody's touched on yet:...
@CallumHamilton83 not imagining it at all — the difference is very real.
I made the same swap on my static caravan setup a couple of years back.
Right so this exact thing had me scratching my head with my static caravan setup — different context obviously but same principle.
What sorted it for me was understanding that the Orion...
