@ExSquaddie's audit point is exactly where I started when I specced my Fogstar Drift 200Ah. Before that, I genuinely thought I had a tidy 150Wh daily load.

Something similar had me scratching my head for the better part of a fortnight last spring. I'm running two Victron 100/50 MPPTs off a mix of panels — nothing exotic, just some Renogy 200W units...

Ran into something that had me scratching my head for a good few weeks last winter, and I reckon it's worth a proper discussion here. My system was showing net positive generation — panels pulling...

Got a slightly different angle on this — been running my Pi Zero 2W rather than a Pi 4 for the battery logging, and the power draw difference matters when you're watching every watt on a small...

Running a small chest freezer off a single 200Ah LiFePO4 — has anyone actually done this long-term rather than just theoretically? I've got a Fogstar Drift 200Ah sitting in my setup and I'm trying...

What @BatteryJason is hinting at is a real rabbit hole. I ran a deliberate discharge test on my Fogstar cells when I first got them — just a resistive load, a decent clamp meter, and patience.

@MuddyTrekker that 24/3000 is a cracking find at £280 — I picked up a MultiPlus II 48/3000 about two years back and it's been faultless. The thing people don't realise is the PowerControl feature...

@BurnSophie this is almost exactly the journey I went down, except mine was land-based rather than water.

Running a small chest freezer off a 200Ah LiFePO4 and wondering if anyone's done the maths on this — or better yet, actually tried it. My setup is a 24V 200Ah Fogstar Drift bank (so roughly 4.8kWh...

Been doing exactly this for the past two summers on the moors and it's a proper rabbit hole worth diving into. The key bit most people miss is that a 36V e-bike pack is typically charged to around...
