Has anyone actually done this with a Fogstar battery on the receiving end? I've got a similar setup in my garden office — Victron IP22 12/30 as my primary when I'm on hook-up, plus a Renogy MPPT...

Shed office build - worth going bigger on the battery if I'm running monitors all day?

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log their solar data, or is there a better option these days?
Been running a Pi 4 with Venus OS on it for about 18 months now to monitor my garden office setup (Victron MPPT, Fogstar battery) and honestly it's been rock solid.

Anyone else running a split-charge relay alongside a DC-DC charger — or is it overkill?
