@PennineNomad is right about the sine wave being clean — had zero issues with that on my motorhome setup with the same unit.
@Del what's your battery configuration?
@VanLee had the same warnings pop up on my Victron MPPT in the motorhome last summer. For me it turned out the absorption voltage was set slightly too high for my Fogstar lithium cells — even a...
@Rob1963 ha, fair point on the corrosion front — makes my motorhome installation look positively straightforward.
Genuinely curious about the 48v propulsion side of this though.
Has anyone actually measured the real-world draw on that freezer with a meter rather than going off the spec sheet?
@Wardy26 Had almost identical issues last winter in the motorhome — waking up to a dead 12V system is grim isn't it.
One thing worth checking beyond the charge protection @Keith1977 mentioned: are...

Not a narrowboat setup but running a Cerbo GX in my motorhome and the tank level situation is just as chaotic — had a Victron-compatible resistive sender that...
Really useful thread, this. Running a similar setup in my motorhome — Multiplus 2 3000VA with a SmartSolar 100/30 and 200Ah Fogstar Drift LiFePO4 — and I've had exactly this on patchy days.
One...
Really useful thread this. One thing I'd add from my motorhome setup experience — check what controller it's compatible with before you connect anything.
Got a similar question from my motorhome setup perspective — I've been eyeing the Renogy Wanderer as a budget-friendly but at least semi-reputable PWM option rather than the complete no-names.
Is...
Good point from @BorderCamper about total cost of ownership. I've noticed with my motorhome setup that specialist suppliers like Fogstar and Renogy often price their bundles more competitively...
Cheers for sharing that experience @WingAndPrayer. Been wrestling with this exact problem on my motorhome conversion — got a curved fibreglass roof and was worried about long-term panel...
