Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery will run a small chest freezer overnight?
@Rodney running a similar setup in my garden office — what's your inverter efficiency looking like? That'll eat into your usable capacity more than people realise. Also worth checking whether...

Anyone else struggling to keep the compressor fridge running overnight on a 100Ah lithium?

MultiPlus-II ESS topology question

EG4 12v 400AH battery cell overvoltage issue
Had something similar crop up on my van build last summer — one cell kept throwing overvoltage faults even though the pack overall was sitting at a reasonable state of charge. Turned out my...

@Smithy the relay on the SmartSolar MPPT isn't actually accessible through VRM directly — that's a known limitation.

Blue Smart IP22 and Blue Solar MPPT working together
Good thread — this is almost exactly what I'm looking at for my garden office build. Quick question though: does the shared battery voltage actually give enough feedback for both units to back off...
