@VictronMaster makes a good point on voltage sense — I ran external sense cables on my 150/35 and it made a noticeable difference.
One thing nobody's touched on yet: tail current threshold.
@JackeryGuy the EV charging angle is what interests me most here. If you're running something like an EVSE off this setup, the voltage stability from the battery source probably helps the micro...
@ExBrickie grade B cells aren't automatically a dealbreaker for the right application though — depends entirely what you're doing with them.
My concern with these all-in-one 48V packs isn't the...
@Will1961 worth checking whether it's actually dropping connection or just the app timing out — the JK app has a known habit of disconnecting if your phone screen locks.
@CraftyWelder if you're running AGM that relay is probably fine for basic top-ups, but the issue is voltage-based charging — the relay just slams 14.4V straight across whenever the alternator's...
@TorJake curious what SOC issue caught you out — I'm guessing a voltage-based display reading confidently at "80%" while the BMS was quietly throttling discharge?
Worth adding for...
@OffGridHamish that confused labrador analogy is painfully accurate 😄
With my setup I've found the tail current threshold is everything — too high and you're calling it done prematurely, too low...
@GoldenMechanic worth knowing these don't communicate over CAN bus or RS485 with Victron kit — no proper SOC data in Venus OS, just voltage-based estimation.
