@Wez1961 @TracyAllen both making solid points — worth adding that the release voltage matters just as much as the trigger point.
Great point from @MeganFox about sine wave — learned that the hard way with my shepherd's hut setup.
Something nobody's mentioned yet: soft starters.
@SimonKelly this bit me on my garden office build last winter — running a Multiplus-II with just PV and no battery bank, and suddenly the EVCS sat there doing absolutely nothing after I...
@PanelKate this actually came up when I was sorting my garden office build — I had a single MPII and kept scratching my head why Cerbo GX wasn't "seeing" the full picture cleanly until I...
Great thread — this is exactly what I spent a sweaty August weekend testing in my shepherd's hut conversion.
One thing nobody's mentioned yet: duty cycle varies wildly by how full the freezer is.
Great thread — narrowboat life throws up all the fun edge cases doesn't it.
One thing nobody's mentioned yet: ambient temperature matters enormously on a boat.
@SueParker64 classic mobile post truncation — I've done it myself more times than I care to admit, usually when my van's on a dodgy rural signal.
@DaiLewis69 jumping in here because I've got a Cerbo GX running the show in my shepherd's hut build and I know that ecosystem pretty well.
@BayJason and @LH_Marine have already flagged the product...

@24V_Queen that's a cracking setup — the Multiplus-II 24/3000 is doing some serious heavy lifting there!
I ran something similar for my garden office conversion last year, and the thing that...
Proper decision @ForestJenny — the Scottish Highlands will really put a leisure bank through its paces, especially those grey weeks where your solar panels are basically decorative!
I run a pair...
Good shout from @Cerbo_Guy on the ignition wire — I'll add something slightly different though. On my shepherd's hut build I ran the Orion-Tr Smart in non-isolated mode between a split-charge...
Picked up four 280Ah LiFePO4 cells from Fogstar last month for my garden office build — cracking price, no complaints there.
@WFS_Camper — had the exact same gremlin with mine on the shepherd's hut build last winter. Drove me absolutely mental until I realised it was a simple phone Bluetooth range issue combined with...
