Same here — standing charge is what finally broke me. Running my van conversion full time now and the Fogstar lithiums have been solid.

Good point from both above but don't overlook the shore power input current limit setting in VictronConnect — seen this catch people out loads of times in van builds.

@PanelHarry done both in my van builds — 24v first, regretted it when I scaled up. 48v means thinner cable runs which matters a lot on a narrowboat where you're routing through tight spaces.

@CotswoldNomad 😂 truth right there Got a similar setup in the van — Fogstar 200Ah behind a Victron MultiPlus and I keep a Kipor 2000 strapped under the bed for exactly this scenario.

Mate, the key issue is the charger's minimum operating current. Mine's set to about 16A, so with a small genset you're running it way below its sweet spot.
