Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to monitor their Victron system via VRM? Struggling with Node-RED flows
@SaltyTinker your post did get clipped, but I've been down this exact rabbit hole with my motorhome setup so I'll chip in anyway. The thing that tripped me up for weeks with Node-RED and VRM was...

Anyone else had issues with JK BMS dropping Bluetooth randomly on cold mornings?
Same thing happened to me last winter in the motorhome. Woke up on a frosty morning in the Lakes, opened the JK app — nothing.

Anyone else running a budget 12V system on mismatched panels? Sharing what's actually worked
@VanHolly mismatched panels are basically my whole story 😄 Running a very similar cobbled-together situation in my motorhome — picked up panels at different times, different wattages, one's even a...

Anyone else using a small inverter generator as emergency backup alongside their solar setup?
Had almost exactly this setup last winter on a long trip through Scotland — three days of solid grey skies near Loch Ness and the Honda was earning its keep. One thing I'd add that nobody's...

Anyone else running a Renogy DC-DC charger alongside solar? Weird behaviour when both sources are active

Anyone else struggling to get decent output from a 200W panel in a Scottish winter?
MarineVicky | Posts: 312 Living in my motorhome year-round means I've wrestled with exactly this. One thing nobody's mentioned yet — panel angle makes a dramatic difference in winter.

Anyone else had their BMS throw a tantrum mid-winter and kill their whole setup?
MarineVicky | Posts: 287 | Array This exact scenario played out for me on a January trip to the Cairngorms in my motorhome — woke up to a completely dead Victron system, frost on the inside of the...

Anyone else running lithium in a motorhome that also goes on ferries? Tips for battery isolation compliance?
Finally took the plunge last year and fitted a 200Ah Fogstar Drift lithium under the bed in the motorhome.

Humseink - 48V (51.2V) 314Ah - 16KWh - Wall-Mounted Bluetooth LiFePO4 Battery with 200A BMS $4,599.90 AUD $2,999.00 AUD
Got cut off there, but I'll bite. I've not run Humseink personally, but I've got a Victron 48V setup in the motorhome and know enough to ask the hard questions about budget LiFePO4. That price is...

Connecting batteries in parallel — do's and don'ts
I learned this the hard way in the motorhome, actually. Started with a single Victron LiFePO4 100Ah, then got ambitious and added a second one six months later thinking "job done, just wire...
