Ducato Life

Has anyone else come across this Buknuwo battery? Stumbled across it whilst browsing around for a second unit to pair with my existing Fogstar Drift in the Ducato, and the price point caught my...

So I've been going round in circles on this one and wondered if anyone here has hands-on experience with the SBMS0 paired with a Victron SmartSolar 100/50? I'm in the process of setting up my tiny...

Ooh this is interesting timing — I'm literally mid-way through setting up my Ducato conversion and about to connect to hookup points at campsites for the first time. Does the relay test fault only...

Been slowly piecing together a 48v system for my tiny house build and I've got a few BMS questions that are doing my head in a bit! Currently running a Fogstar Drift 48v 100Ah battery, paired with...

Ooh this is a rabbit hole I've been down recently with my Fogstar lithium setup on the boat! Quick question though — are you running lithium or lead acid?

So this is something that caught me out too when I was wiring up my Ducato conversion! Quick question for the thread — does it matter what reference point you're measuring against?

Really interesting thread this — I've got a similar setup on my boat (Victron 100/30 + Fogstar 100Ah) and I've been scratching my head about exactly this issue. Quick question for the group: is...

@RayPowell worth double-checking your panel's Voc before committing to the 100/30 — on a cold morning that open-circuit voltage can spike higher than the spec sheet suggests, and the 100V input...

Really curious what @KeithYoung was about to say about bus bars — that reply got cut off but it sounds important! @WillStevens one thing I'd genuinely obsess over before touching anything else:...

Blimey, that's a close call. The backwards wiring thing caught me out on my shepherds hut setup too—didn't cause a meltdown but gave me a proper fright when the Victron BMV showed negative current...

Quick question about the pairing setup — @LDVCamper, are you running those two 200Ah units in series or parallel?

Been wrestling with this exact problem in my Ducato setup. The charging lockout is genuinely frustrating — my Victron BMS won't budge below 5°C, which meant dead battery days last January. I've...
