@PanelPaula Had something similar with my motorhome bank last winter β except I thought I'd set the storage charge at 50% on the Victron, turned out I'd fat-fingered it...
@NickMason yeah mine did exactly this β scared me half to death the first time, thought I'd somehow managed to brick Β£400 worth of cells by looking at them wrong.
Turned out my balance wires...
@HalfAJob had this exact thing on my motorhome β spent three days convinced my Victron shunt was lying to me.

@LesWood78 Go on then, what ARE we supposed to configure it to? You can't just drop that and disappear mate π

Been thinking about this a lot lately for my motorhome build but it applies to my tiny house setup too β what generator do you actually pair with a LiFePO4 system as a proper backup?
My current...
Had this exact drama with my US3000C in the motorhome last spring. Three weeks idle and it came back looking like a toddler who'd been left unsupervised with a biscuit tin β complete chaos, cells...

Turned out my Fogstar battery's BMS had...

But genuinely β in my motorhome I ran everything off a Victron MultiPlus for ages and...
@RetiredChef the sausages are the real variable here aren't they β how warm are they going in π
Seriously though, depends massively on the freezer's actual draw.
Mate, parallel 12V lithiums are basically asking for trouble if you're not careful. The inconsistent solar input is your real problem here β you need a proper MPPT controller that actually knows...
Right, so you've basically got multiple devices all shouting "I'll charge it!" at your battery simultaneously, yeah?
Blimey, the leisure battery balloon story is haunting me now! That's the stuff of off-grid nightmares.
I've got to ask though β and I'm half-joking, half-genuinely curious β does anyone else just...
