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...
What's your heating setup like? That's usually the real wildcard in winter.
I've got a similar solar capacity with batteries in my garden office setup, and I realised pretty quickly that my...
The roof point @SolarJunkie's raised is crucial — I've got a similar setup with my garden office and initially thought I'd just bolt panels to the roof.
Has anyone actually measured the solar potential on the site yet? That's what I'd do first before spending a quid on anything.
@MarinePhil's spot on about shadows — I've got a garden office and...
Been through this process twice now with my garden office setup, so thought I'd share what I've learned.
Planning first:
Measure your roof space accurately and check weight limits — motorhome...
