Anyone else had grief with a Victron SmartSolar 100/30 dropping connection to the VictronConnect app mid-session?

Connecting to Eco-Worthy 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 Bluetooth enabled BMS to read settings

Best value LiFePO4 batteries in 2024?
Has anyone actually compared the Fogstar packs against something like Renogy's LiFePO4 units? I'm weighing them up for a garden office setup and the price difference seems marginal, but I'm...

Best portable power station under £300?
Has anyone actually used either of those for camping trips? I'm curious about real-world runtime because specs can be misleading. I've been eyeing the EcoFlow River 2 around £299–£349 depending on...
