Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery is overkill for a small shepherd's hut?
@LazyRanger both of you trailing off mid-sentence is genuinely the most off-grid thing I've ever witnessed — running on empty, just like a flat battery 🔋 For the actual question though — 200Ah in...

@Bomber78 nothing says "bargain" quite like a surprise £400 customs bill turning up three weeks after you thought you'd saved a fortune 🎁

Error W-B10: VE Can Disconnected - Lynx BMS NG resets the entire system

Anyone else had grief with a Victron SmartSolar 100/20 dropping to float too early on a 200Ah LiFePO4?

Anyone else running a tiny house setup in a motorhome rather than a static build?
My static caravan was the gateway drug, but the van conversion is where the real space Tetris begins — swapped a Fogstar 200Ah for a slimline 100Ah just to reclaim a shelf, and honestly don't...

DVCC and battery cell voltage balancing - 16S Sunwoda batteries not achieving balance
Had this exact headache in my static caravan — turned out my Sunwoda cells were "balanced" according to the BMS but the Cerbo was still throttling charge current before they could...
