@Fiona1974 mate, the Multi RS Solar's Voc limit will humble you faster than a low bridge on the Oxford Canal 🚢

Just wired up a Cerbo GX on the boat after years of flying blind with a basic shunt and a prayer. Paired it with a Victron SmartSolar 100/30 via VE.Direct and honestly the data is almost too good...

@HalfAJob93 on my narrowboat I just slap a bit of insulation round the battery — AGMs hate the cold and a chilly bank reads falsely high voltage to the controller, so it thinks it's done when it's...

Top-balanced mine on the narrowboat using a bench power supply set to 3.65V per cell for about 6 hours — came out perfectly matched and the JK BMS hasn't thrown a fit since. 🛶

Nothing like 16 cells of pure drama to ruin your morning cuppa — have you checked whether your busbar connections are actually torqued properly?

@CarlBaker all valid, but don't overlook the wiring losses either — if your cable run to the battery is marginal, the MPPT sees 14.4v at its terminals while the actual battery voltage is quietly...

Narrowboat living's taught me that "essentials" is a funny thing — turns out you don't actually need the kettle, the toaster, and the shower running simultaneously, who knew?

Right, so I've been down this rabbit hole myself when I was thinking about a shepherd's hut setup on the narrowboat mooring (don't ask).
