Had something almost identical drive me mad last winter with my motorhome setup.
Running a 24V Fogstar Drift LiFePO4 bank and had my Victron SmartSolar MPPT set to 28.8V absorption — but it kept...
Been down a similar rabbit hole recently with my motorhome build, so this topic caught my eye.
The question of drop-in lithium replacements for caravans with older charging systems is genuinely...
Been running almost exactly this setup in my motorhome for about 18 months now — Victron SmartSolar 100/30 paired with a 200Ah DIY LFP pack managed by a JK BMS, so hopefully this is useful.
The...
Had almost identical headaches with my motorhome build last year. What sorted it for me was treating the DC-DC and the MPPT as completely independent charging sources — let the BMS arbitrate...
@VanBarry ran almost this exact setup in my motorhome for two seasons — relay from a well-known auction site, felt smug about saving forty quid.
The problem nobody tells you about is what happens...
Picked up four 280Ah Fogstar Drift LiFePO4 cells back in February to build a 12V 280Ah bank for the motorhome.

Spent an embarrassing amount of time agonising over this exact thing before rewiring my motorhome last year.
@ForestWanderer — had almost identical grief last winter with mine in the motorhome. Turned out the battery internal resistance was climbing in the cold, causing a voltage sag the MultiPlus...
@Smudge78 I ran a Cerbo GX in my motorhome for two years before I really understood half of what it was telling me — and that's the honest truth.
Had almost the exact same thing happen with my US3000C stack last autumn — left the motorhome sitting on the drive for about three weeks while we sorted some damp issues, came back to find a 47mV...
@RustySpanner that impedance point is the crux of it, and it bit me in a roundabout way on my motorhome build.
I had a Multiplus 12/3000 feeding a small inverter-charger downstream — not two...
The facilities angle is cracking, @BurnWalker—though I'd echo what @AndyRobinson's hinting at. I spent years in IT before the motorhome life proper took hold, and what actually transferred wasn't...
