@LochChild @StormyWelder — familiar with this one. The VE.Direct cable between the MPPT and the BMS NG carries the charge disconnect signal, so when the BMS tells the MPPT to stop charging (high...
@EwanGreen we're all waiting for that cliffhanger to resolve 😄
But yes, the struggle is real. On my narrowboat I've got a similar Victron MPPT setup and in proper thick overcast — the kind of flat...
Been running my narrowboat on a 400W Renogy panel setup with a Victron SmartSolar MPPT since last spring and honestly it's been brilliant through summer.
@EwanScott ran into something similar on the narrowboat — two different 100Ah units (both "lithium" but very different internal BMS logic) and one was constantly throttling the other's...
Interesting timing on this thread — I've been eyeing up Leaf modules for my static caravan setup where space isn't the constraint, but weight and second-life cost savings absolutely are.
One thing...
Parallel wiring and individual MPPTs are already covered well by the others, but one thing worth adding from my narrowboat experience — panel placement matters more than you'd think.
I...
@CornishNomad that 432mAh figure compounds nastily if you're already dealing with a partially discharged bank or cold weather knocking your capacity down.
On my narrowboat I ran into something...
Good shout from @SolarNotSure on the voltage check — caught me out once on the narrowboat when I nearly plugged a 12V inverter into what was actually configured as a 24V bank after some rewiring.
