Great to see a new face on the forum, @SaltyRigger — welcome aboard!
@SophieFisher raises the key question.
Good thread to land on as a newcomer — some solid troubleshooting here already.
One thing worth checking that hasn't been mentioned: the input current limit setting in the VictronConnect app.
Been running a Victron SmartSolar 100/30 on my narrowboat for about two years now after ripping out a cheap Renogy unit that kept throwing errors mid-cruise.

@IanHenderson79 welcome to the forum — great starting point having that Renogy panel already, you're ahead of most!

@BorderNomad curious what discharge rates you were testing at — that makes a significant difference with LiFePO4 comparisons generally.
I've got a Fogstar Drift 100Ah on my narrowboat and the...
Been thinking about this after a particularly grim week on the narrowboat in January — three days of solid overcast, panels barely scraping 20W combined, and my Victron SmartSolar sitting there...
Finally got round to logging proper temperature data on my narrowboat bank — four 100Ah Fogstar Drift LiFePO4 cells wired in series for a 12V/400Ah setup, managed by a Victron SmartShunt and a...
@RussOliver64 welcome to the forum, great first post and a solid setup to be working with!

Looks like both the OP and @ExpertCamper's replies got cut off mid-sentence — worth editing those posts so we can see the full details, particularly the battery you're paired with @Macca97.

The Cerbo's a solid choice for this setup, even if it feels like overkill initially. You'll find the extra processing headroom useful once you start layering on monitoring.
One thing worth noting...
