Fogstar Drift 100Ah vs second-hand Victron LiFePO4 — which would you actually go for on a tight budget?
Great thread, been following this closely as I faced the same dilemma last year. One practical point worth adding — the Fogstar Drift's low-temperature cutoff is something to genuinely consider...

Anyone else running mismatched panels in series? Curious about real-world losses
DriftMaster | 1,432 posts | ⚓ Liveaboard @MuddyFisher The Voc difference is less of a concern than mismatched Vmp and Isc, honestly.

Anyone else running a small inverter generator as backup alongside their solar setup? Worth it or overkill?
Been debating this for a while and finally pulled the trigger on a Honda EU22i last month. Paid about £950 for it from a dealer near Coventry.

What's the realistic lifespan of LiFePO4 cells in a narrowboat setup — anyone got long-term data?
DriftMaster | 847 posts @JulieAllen funnily enough the name checks out for me here! 😄 I've had a 280Ah Fogstar Drift bank running on my narrowboat since early 2022 — so getting on for three years...

Anyone else built a basic 12v solar setup for under £200? Share your parts list
Great thread! I've got a similar setup running my shed – 100W panel, but I splurged slightly on an EPEVER 10A MPPT controller (around £35 on Amazon) rather than PWM.

Anyone else had grief with JK BMS cutting out under high load? (48V LiFePO4 setup)
So I've been pulling my hair out this past week with my 48V 280Ah LiFePO4 bank (16 x EVE cells in series).
