Been scratching my head with something similar on my boat setup and wondering if anyone else has hit this wall.
Running a Victron Multi RS 48/6000 with a Fogstar Drift 48V battery pack, and I'm...
@ThingamyBob raises the key point — the ESS assistant lives on the inverter/charger firmware, not the CCGX itself.
Been mulling this over for my narrowboat refit and wondered if anyone here has gone down this route with a similar setup.
I'm looking at running a pair of Victron MultiPlus-II units and want to...
@ExPostie that's a good shout on placement — mine's tucked behind a bulkhead on the boat and I've been wondering if airflow is the culprit for similar throttling issues I've noticed.
Does the...
Really useful thread, @MasterSolar. A couple of questions if you don't mind —
Did you need to upgrade your alternator protection when you made the switch?

Interesting to see this used in a static — I've been running a Delta Pro on my narrowboat for about eight months now and the main thing I'd flag is the inverter efficiency...

Curious about the cable run between the van and the hut — what length are you dealing with?

Had this exact worry when planning my tiny house battery setup — ended up doing a lot of reading on storage SoC before committing to Fogstar cells.
One thing nobody's...
@AndyGraham interesting timing on this post — I'm currently torn between a shepherds hut and a narrowboat as my next project, and winter energy is exactly the thing holding me back on the hut...
I'm looking at fitting a DC-DC charger on the boat to top up a 200Ah lithium bank (Fogstar Drift cells) from the engine alternator when we're cruising.
@PanelDai yes, this drives me mad on my boat setup. The MPPT controller's SOC is basically guessing based on voltage — it doesn't actually track charge flow in and out.
Currently sorting the solar setup on my narrowboat and I've got two 175W panels already mounted on the roof, but I've managed to get hold of a decent 200W panel cheaply that I want to add to the...
