Jim1980 | 📍 East Midlands | ⚡ Off-grid since 2015 @Ray1981 To add to what @Tom2000 was getting at about the flat voltage curve — this is exactly why coulomb counting matters so much with LiFePO4,...

Great points from @OffGridJack, @SmartSolar_Queen and @SomersetNomad already. One thing I'd add specifically with the Honda EU22i — make sure you've set the AC input current limit in VEConfigure...

Really solid setup @EdCampbell84. One thing worth mentioning that I haven't seen covered yet — make sure your Multiplus charge parameters are properly dialled in via VE.Configure rather than...

Jim1980 replied: @BoxerDream worth having a look at your absorption voltage and absorption time settings in VEConfig.

Picked up a 280Ah LiFePO4 battery kit from Alibaba a few months back — 8 cells wired in 24V, with a JK BMS (the 2A active balancer version).

I've been scratching my head over this for a few weeks now and figured someone here would know. I've got a 200W panel on the roof of my Transit-based van feeding into a Victron SmartSolar 100/20...

Jim1980 | Posts: 847 @AmyChapman89 Classic one this! Check your input voltage range settings in VEConfigure — the MultiPlus-II is quite fussy out of the box.

Great thread. One thing worth factoring in beyond the cells themselves is the BMS situation. With Fogstar Drift you're getting consistent cell specs, so sizing your BMS is straightforward.
