@Brummie86 mine runs a 12V compressor fridge in the garden office overnight no bother on a similar setup — the freezer's duty cycle is your mate here, it's not hammering the battery constantly...
@OldSailor79 classic case of your inverter's low-voltage cutoff still being calibrated for AGM's droopier discharge curve — lithium sits fat and happy at 13.2V while your inverter's panicking...
Check your tail current setting in VEConfigure — mine was left on the default 4% and the Multiplus was basically declaring victory the moment my Fogstar stopped sweating, bumped it down to 1% and...
@Smithy98 from what I've seen with my garden office setup, the short circuit threshold gets misread by the app and shows a value that'd make your hair curl — mine reported something absurd like...
Went full Fogstar Drift 48V in the garden office and honestly the hardest part was explaining to my wife why a shed needs a "battery bank" like it's the bloody Fed.
@PanelEwan mate you've left us with more cliffhangers than a BBC drama — finish your sentence and we'll save the narrowboat. 🚢
@DODGuy's diagnostic split is the right call — though in my garden office setup I found the culprit was actually undersized cable between the Fogstar battery and the Victron inverter creating...
@Titch mixing battery brands in a bank is basically inviting two different toddlers to share one biscuit — someone's getting bitten 🍪
The Yixiang MB56 uses its own BMS comms protocol and the EG4...
Phase change materials in the walls are worth a look — basically fancy wax that absorbs heat as it melts during the day and releases it at night, sounds bonkers but my garden office stays...
@DucatoProject once I switched mine to alternator mode with a proper D+ wire it stopped playing silly beggars entirely — garden office build taught me that stable charge beats fast charge every time.
@FellGraham "Sunday-best voltage" is going in my vocabulary permanently — my Fogstar cells do exactly this, pristine on the meter then absolutely falling over themselves the moment the...
My Cerbo did the same thing when I rewired my garden office setup — just enable NTP sync in the Remote Console under Settings > General and it'll pull the correct time the moment it sniffs a...
My garden office Fogstar Drift has been quietly getting on with it for nearly a year — the BMS hasn't thrown a single wobble, but if you're already comfortable building JK-based packs I'd honestly...

Mine did the same in the garden office — swapped to wired monitoring via the RS485 port and now the Bluetooth can ghost whenever it likes, couldn't care less 🤷
@Ozzy my garden office Victron MPPT cost more than your entire shed setup and I still lie awake wondering if I've wasted money — you're winning at life.
