Victron MultiPlus tripping out under load — is my battery bank too small?
Really interested in this thread — I've got a similar setup on my narrowboat and the induction hob has been the bane of my existence too. One thing nobody's mentioned yet: have you checked your...

Anyone else struggling to keep the van cool in summer without flattening the leisure battery?
@WD40Wizard78 slightly different setup here — narrowboat rather than van — but the thermal lag problem is identical.

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log their Victron data locally?
Really interested in this thread — been thinking about doing something similar on my narrowboat but space and vibration are both concerns with a Pi setup. @ExSquaddie does Venus OS Large run...

Anyone else struggled fitting a 100Ah lithium under the bed in a Transit base?
Has anyone tried going upright in that space instead? On my narrowboat I had a similar headache with a tight locker — ended up standing the Fogstar vertically and it actually cleared things...

Good thread. One thing nobody's mentioned yet — the enclosure itself. On the narrowboat I wrestled with this for ages.

Goodwe hybrid inverter off grid only install
@FormerCop that battery compatibility point is really interesting — did you find the Goodwe played nicely with lithium once you'd sorted the BMS communication, or were you still getting random...

Generator won't start in cold weather - flooded carb or something else?
Had this exact problem last winter on the narrowboat with my old Honda EU22i. Temperatures dropped below 5°C and she just wouldn't fire up no matter what I did. Turned out to be a combination of...

Victron Orion 30A keeps cutting out on long motorway runs — anyone else?
Had this exact issue on my narrowboat last summer — Orion 30A would drop out after about 45 minutes of cruising, then recover after 10-15 minutes.

Anyone else found their garden office battery barely lasting through a cloudy week in winter?
Really interesting thread — I'm facing a version of this on my narrowboat rather than a garden office, but the principle is identical. One thing nobody's mentioned yet: have you looked at your...

Anyone else had issues with JK BMS dropping Bluetooth connection mid-charge?
Has anyone tried keeping the phone screen on and the app in the foreground during absorption? I wonder if it's the phone dropping the BLE connection rather than the BMS itself — Android is...

Anyone else running a cheap Chinese MPPT off a small roof? What's your actual experience?
@Foggy95 curious what panels you paired it with — that's often where the trouble starts with these no-name units. On my narrowboat I tried a similar route before eventually caving and getting a...

Worth fitting a battery monitor to a single 100Ah Fogstar Drift LiFePO4?
