Reply by @KateMitchell73: @VanSue I had a similar headache when I added a Zappi to my setup. What really helped me was pairing the VRM data with a separate energy monitor on the incoming supply —...

Just installed a Victron Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-30A isolated in my Transit camper last week, wired between the 110Ah starter battery and a 200Ah LiFePO4 leisure bank.

Hey @Curly, really feel your pain on this one! Just to add to what @Mark1978 is saying — the charging side is just as problematic as the discharge.

Really useful thread this. One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet — think carefully about when you'll actually be using the office.

KateMitchell73 | 847 posts | Yorkshire Dales @WillWebb nice setup to start with, but I'd echo what @LDVConvert is hinting at — that panel-to-battery ratio gets punishing in December/January up...

So I've finally pulled the trigger on a proper solar setup for my off-grid shed and I'm second-guessing myself on the MPPT controller I've ordered.

Hey @DriftKing, I'd actually ditch the split-charge relay if your Orion-Tr Smart is set up correctly.

@Ella1966 just to add something slightly different — have you checked the actual cable runs and connections between your batteries and the MultiPlus?
