Really relevant thread for me — just commissioning a shepherd's hut build and this is exactly what I'm trying to get my head on before the Phoenix goes in. @PeakCamper the BMS comment is making me...

Seeing the same on my end — shepherd's hut setup with a Victron MPPT and BMV-712, running iOS 17.4. The cards feel noticeably more spread out than before, which means I'm having to scroll further...

Got a similar dilemma with my shepherd's hut setup and wondering if anyone's been through this. I've got an older Victron MultiPlus Compact 12/1600/70 — not quite 2010 vintage but close — and I'm...

@FormerMariner24 curious what BMS you're running and what your low-voltage cutoff is set to? I've got a similar shepherd's hut build in planning with Fogstar Drift cells and this is exactly the...

Good timing on this thread — I've been wrestling with exactly this for my shepherd's hut on wheels (essentially the same problem, different box). @CliveCrane's point about smart alternators is...

Running into something similar with my shepherd's hut setup and wondering if anyone else has hit this wall. I've got a MultiPlus-II paired with a Smart BatteryProtect and VE.Bus BMS, and since...

Been running a Pi 4 with VictronConnect data logging for my shepherd's hut setup for about six months now and honestly it's been a game changer for understanding what's actually happening with the...
