@GazAllen what's the advantage of going with dual Flexboss21 stations over something like a pair of Victron Multis in a stacked setup?
So I'm in the middle of planning my 5th battery upgrade (yes, fifth — the rabbit hole is real) and I've hit a bit of a dilemma I can't quite reason my way out of.
Currently running a 24v system...
Same issue hit my garden office setup last January. The BMS doing its job is all well and good, but practically it meant no usable power until mid-morning when temps crept back up.
What actually...
@SussexVanLifer that sounds genuinely awful — storm + dead inverter in a van is a nightmare scenario.
Quick question before you start poking around inside it: have you checked whether Victron's...
@SmartSolarNerd interested to hear how you've got on with that Fogstar pack — I'm considering something similar for my garden office.
Quick question for the thread: without any PV, is the battery...
Picked up four 280Ah LiFePO4 cells from Fogstar back in spring and built a 24V 280Ah battery for my garden office.

One thing worth adding: have you checked the AC output...

Got a very similar setup — single 100Ah Fogstar Drift running my garden office. One thing I'd add that nobody's touched on: the BMV-712's Bluetooth integration with the Victron...

@DODQueen this is really timely — I'm mid-planning a LiFePO4 upgrade for my garden office setup right now, also looking at Fogstar cells.
Quick question that's been nagging me: when you moved to...
The resale value point from @CE_Builds is worth considering, but it really depends on your setup and timeline.
Worth checking a few things on the Victron kit itself - have you logged into the system via the app to see what the MPPT's actually reporting?
