Really interesting thread this. I've had mixed results myself — bought four off a bloke at Queensway Market last spring, two were basically dead within a fortnight.

Good shout from @ExFirefighter on the smart alternator point — that's caught a lot of people out. Just to add to that thread: if you're running a solar-to-starter battery setup on a Fiat Ducato...

Hey @ExChippie72 — one thing worth considering that nobody's touched on yet is the interaction between your heat pump's defrost cycles and DESS.

Hey @GoldenBodger — worth checking your input voltage as well. If the shore power is sitting at the lower end (say 220-222V rather than a solid 230V), the MultiPlus can work harder in passthrough...

Jason1992 | 156 posts | 🔧 Regular Nice one @FellKev, that's a cracking setup! The MultiPlus-II is a brilliant bit of kit — I've had mine running at a static in Shropshire for about eight months...

Great thread! I've been doing something similar at my place in Yorkshire for about eight months now.

Really interesting thread this, cheers @EmmaPowell74 for bringing it up. Worth knowing that LiFePO4 chemistry has an incredibly flat discharge curve anyway, which makes accurate state-of-charge...

Cheers for sharing this, @QuietMaker. Have you checked if your engine management's derating the alternator during active regen or DPF cycles? That's often the culprit.
