Genuinely curious about something nobody's mentioned yet — what's your B2B charger rated at, @CarolThomas79?
@DeclanKnight57 what settings ended up making the biggest difference for you? I'm in a similar boat (no pun intended) with my garden office setup — running a Victron BMV-712 alongside a 200Ah...
Same here on iOS 17.5 — garden office setup with a Multiplus-II and Cerbo GX. The extra spacing is definitely noticeable, especially when trying to get an at-a-glance overview without...
Really useful thread this. Got a garden office build coming up and have been weighing up exactly this kind of setup.
Quick question for @MasterSolar or @ForestDaz — does the Multiplus need to be...
@Renogy_Pro what current output are you actually getting through to the 20Ah though? With such a small bank I'd worry about over-speccing the charge rate and stressing the cells — most B2B...
Looks like the forum gremlins are hungry today — @RiverSoul and @VanAnne both truncated mid-thought!
Jumping in anyway as I'm having a related issue on my garden office setup.
Just finished wiring up a 280Ah 12V LiFePO4 pack (4 cells in series) for my garden office build using Fogstar Drift cells. Running a Daly Smart BMS at 100A.
@LisaStewart71 worth checking whether the two Drifts are actually balanced with each other before you dig too deep into the BMS.

@Clive1978 worth thinking about what your actual peak load is before buying anything — lights and a phone charger is a very different spec to keeping a fridge or router running too.
I'm in a...
Slightly off-topic since I'm not in a van, but I've been wondering whether a B2B makes sense for a garden office setup where the feed comes from a long cable run from the house rather than an...
Really interesting thread. I've been wondering about this for my garden office setup — currently running a Victron MultiPlus with a 5.1kWh Fogstar battery, mostly just powering tools and lighting.
Been doing a fair bit of research after setting up a small Victron/Fogstar system in my garden office, and now I'm curious whether the same logic applies to a narrowboat setup.
Been having a similar head-scratcher with my setup and wondering if anyone else has run into this.
I've got a Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250/100 connected via VE.Can to a Multiplus-II, and ever since...
Been pulling my hair out with this one for the past few days and wondering if anyone else has hit the same wall.
Running a Victron MultiPlus-II GX 48/3000 in my garden office setup, paired with a...
Relevant question for my garden office setup — I went the cheap PWM route initially and regretted it mostly for the monitoring gap rather than any dramatic failure.
What pushed me to switch to a...
