Feature Request: Configurable alarm output duration / pulse mode for Smart BatteryProtect
This has been bugging me for a while with my setup, so glad to see it being raised elsewhere too. The fixed 78-second alarm output on the Smart BatteryProtect is frustrating when you're trying to...

Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery will run a small chest freezer overnight?
Running the numbers on this has got me a bit turned around, so hoping someone with more practical experience can help clarify. My setup is a static caravan with a 200Ah 12V LiFePO4 (Fogstar...

Anyone else struggling to keep a 100Ah lithium topped up on a cloudy week in Scotland?
Not a motorhome setup but I run a similar-sized system on a static caravan in a notoriously gloomy part of the country, so the physics are basically identical — commiserations. The honest answer...

Jk BMS B2A8S20P + JP-Plink board to connect with Cerbo GX
@BordersNomad great project — the B2A8S20P is a solid choice for a static van build, that 20A balancing current is genuinely impressive at the price point. One thing worth confirming early: make...

Lower than expected shore power draw
@Nobby welcome to the forum — great first technical post, straight into the detail which is exactly what we like here. To add something nobody's explicitly covered yet: the Multiplus II also has a...

Anyone else finding their garden office impossible to heat in January?

ECO-WORTHY 48V 60A Lithium Battery Charger w/Adjustable Voltage & Current $135AC/$116 w/CB
Good question to raise, @T6Project — worth digging into properly before committing. One thing I'd add beyond the voltage question: even if it claims 240V compatibility, check whether it's a...
