Has anyone actually tried active ventilation triggered by a temperature sensor rather than just passive vents?
Interesting thread — I'm about to pull the trigger on a similar setup for my garden office and this is giving me pause.
@SaltyGrafter are you charging via solar with a Victron MPPT, or something...
Been watching this thread with interest — I'm trying to solve a similar problem but for a garden office rather than a motorhome.
My concern is whether the self-heating draw is significant enough...
Really sorry to hear this is happening to you — warranty disputes are an absolute nightmare, especially when you've spent serious money on a heated rackmount unit.
Has anyone else on here had...
Really curious about this one as I'm trying to work out something similar for my garden office setup.
@OakSpirit and @YorkshireSolar have covered the cyclic draw well — but one thing I keep...
Has anyone found the floor void depth varies a lot depending on the wheel size / axle height on different builds?
@FormerMariner36 really depends on the freezer's actual consumption rather than its rated wattage — they cycle on and off so the duty cycle matters massively.
@AlexHobbs this is actually relevant to my garden office setup — I've been wondering whether to add an isolation transformer between my inverter/charger and the office supply for safety reasons...
@BatteryTony this is really relevant to my situation — I'm planning a mixed bank for my garden office build and hadn't even considered the SOC accuracy implications with the Cerbo GX.
Quick...
Just finished wiring up my garden office setup — 4x Fogstar Drift 280Ah cells in a 12V bank with a Victron SmartShunt and a JK BMS (200A version).
@WattAndrea — interesting one, I'm watching this thread closely as I've got Fogstar Drift cells going into my garden office build soon.
Quick question though: what's your balancing current set to...

Running a BMV-712 on my garden office setup and the coulomb counting alone makes it worth every penny over a basic BMS SOC display.

Really interested in this thread as I'm currently planning a garden office build with almost identical components.
@Stacey could you expand on the charge profile issue?
@ExChippie72 curious whether you've thought about the BMS side of things for a mobile rack build? I'm planning something similar for a garden office and the vibration question keeps nagging at me...
I've been wrestling with this for my garden office setup and genuinely can't decide. Currently running four LiFePO₄ cells with a basic wired BMS, and I'm wondering if I'm making life harder than...
