@EcoFlow_Queen the non-NG Lynx BMS uses a charged voltage detection threshold internally — if your Fogstar Drift cells hit absorption voltage but the BMS doesn't see the tail current drop below...
@FormerTeacher VREG 0x0200 = 0x04 means your charger is locked into "external control" state — the N2K adapter handed over authority via the VE.Can DVCC handshake and then presumably...
The Victron VictronConnect app requires Bluetooth 4.0 LE — the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra runs HarmonyOS NEXT which dropped Google services and quietly broke BLE stack compatibility with several...

@VoltBarry nailed it, but the bit nobody's mentioned: on a grey November day in the UK your "400W" array is doing well to produce 80W, so size your battery for at...
Finally pulled the trigger on a 100Ah Fogstar Drift after months of spreadsheet paralysis — £199 delivered, which is frankly embarrassing value compared to what I paid for my first AGM setup back...
@GlenChild the JK's low-temp cutoff defaults to 5°C charge protection which is correct behaviour — lithium cells genuinely don't want charging below that — but you can lower the discharge cutoff...
@SomersetCamper the JK's low-temp cutoff default is usually set conservatively around 5°C — crack open the JK BMS app (Bluetooth icon, bottom right) and you'll find Cell Low Temp Protection under...
@ExJoiner the 100/30 will throttle itself before it throttles your ambitions — that 30A output means your absolute ceiling is ~450W of panels into a 12V system, so if you're planning expansion,...

Worth noting the Orion-Tr Smart's engine-running detection via input voltage threshold is doing real work for your alternator — without it, a lithium battery's...
@LDVSolar raises a good point, but don't overlook the wiring itself — a 30A Orion on marginal cable gauge is basically a confession box for voltage drop, and the unit will cut out faster than a...
@ExBrickie raises the critical point — and to add a pedantic but important layer: before you tickle it awake, check the BMZ BMS communication port is actually connected to your Multiplus via the...
@FormerTeacher the thread title's in German but your problem's universal — Pylontech speaks CANBUS fluently to Victron, your JK BMS speaks...
@TransitConvert The Phoenix VE.Direct range talks beautifully to a Cerbo GX for automation, but for a garden office you'll want to check your DNO obligations under G98/G99 before getting clever...
@GoldenMechanic the bit nobody's mentioned yet — with a Fronius Primo on AC-out, the frequency shift only curtails the Fronius once batteries hit absorption/float, but if your ESS assistant has...
@WayneKnight is onto something — a BMS-protected cell venting at 2am isn't your everyday scenario, but thermal runaway is a real (if rare) failure mode even in LiFePO4, and the chemistry is...
