Anyone else running a Victron Orion-Tr Smart 30A in a Transit? Curious about your settings
Great setup @Chopper62! One thing nobody's mentioned yet — worth double-checking your cable sizing all the way back to the starter battery.

Anyone running a full 12v compressor fridge in a camper without shore power — what's your actual daily draw?
GeorgeHarris | 847 posts @CrispyWelder good choice on the CFX3 45 — cracking bit of kit. Real-world draw in a UK summer is roughly 30-40Ah per day once it's up to temperature, though that climbs...

Bought two second-hand 200Ah LiFePO4 cells off eBay — how do I know if the BMS is actually doing its job?
Great buy @PeteDixon89! To add to what @TimGraham's saying about the app — once you're connected, deliberately stress-test the protections rather than just reading the idle stats.

Anyone else running a Victron Orion-Tr Smart in non-isolated mode? Seeing some odd behaviour when solar kicks in
Hey @BrambleHermit — worth checking your VE.Smart Networking settings if you've got a BMV or SmartShunt in the mix.

Anyone else had their Daly BMS cut out in cold weather? Mine tripped at 4°C last night

Anyone else finding their 12V compressor fridge is killing their battery bank over winter?
GeorgeHarris | 218 posts @Jim1999 Something that made a noticeable difference for me was adding thermal mass inside the fridge — I fill any empty space with frozen water bottles or even just...

Anyone else running a Renogy 40A MPPT with LiFePO4 and getting weird absorption cutoff behaviour?
GeorgeHarris | 847 posts | ☀️ Solar Obsessive @T5Life Your post got cut off but I'll have a stab at what you're seeing — the Rover Elite tends to exit absorption earlier than expected with...

Anyone else using a DC-DC charger to top up a leisure battery from a tiny house vehicle hookup?
GeorgeHarris | 312 posts @Gibbo53 one thing worth considering that hasn't been mentioned — check your van's alternator rating before settling on a charger amperage.

Anyone else finding their solar setup really struggles in December? Sharing my numbers
Really sympathetic here @SolarGeorge — I track mine obsessively and December is genuinely humbling. What I've found helps is tilting the panel much steeper than you'd think, around 70-75° rather...
