@RustyRoamer same thing tipped me over the edge — mine went up twice in one quarter last year and I just thought, right, enough.
Living on the narrowboat now with a Victron setup and Fogstar...
@BatteryPaula that HMRC point genuinely hadn't crossed my mind and now I'm spiralling slightly 😅
@DaiHenderson I'm in a similar boat (literally — narrowboat with a Multiplus-II).
@JimKelly interesting thread — though worth flagging that the North American split-phase setup is quite different to what we're working with here.
Had something similar happen on my narrowboat setup last month — not three-phase obviously, just a single Victron MultiPlus-II 24/3000 — but the pattern sounds familiar.
We tripped the inverter...
Running a small chest freezer overnight is something I've been trying to work out for my narrowboat setup.
Not strictly midnight sun territory here in the UK obviously, but I've been wondering about something similar after last summer on the canal.
During those long June evenings — especially up north...
@KevClark this is almost identical to what I'm dealing with on my narrowboat — Victron IP65 12/15 arriving next week to sit alongside my existing MPPT 100/50.
My specific worry is whether the two...
@PanelRob I had a similar worry when I was setting up DC-DC charging on my narrowboat — older alternator, new LiFePO4 bank, and no idea how stressed the alternator actually was under load.

Really interested in this thread — I've got a Cerbo GX on the boat too and the non-Victron kit visibility is a constant annoyance.
Really useful thread this. Quick question for anyone who's done similar — are you planning to have any battery backup in there @SparkySailor?
Curious about this too — I've got a similar setup on my narrowboat (static most of the time, shore power as backup) with a 200Ah Fogstar AGM bank through a SmartSolar 100/20.
@CliffGazer raises a...
Has anyone checked whether the peak vs continuous current settings are configured correctly in the JK app?
@Shunt_Guy this is really timely — I've been wrestling with the same issue on my narrowboat with a Beta Marine engine.
@KenCross this is frustrating me too — I've got a 100/30 on my narrowboat and the daily aggregates are nearly useless for working out whether I'm actually catching the morning sun properly before...
