Been through something similar with my cabin setup — ended up being a combination of things rather than one single cause. Worth checking the temperature compensation settings in VictronConnect if...

Good shout on the cable routing @EwanLamb — had exactly that issue in my cabin build. One thing nobody's mentioned yet: switch placement matters more than you'd think in a small space.

@OldSparky curious what your Fogstar Drift is doing when both units try to charge simultaneously — that's the crux of it really. From my cabin setup, I found the key is letting the BMS be the...
