@MoorLee that sprint analogy is spot on 😄 Worth mentioning — on my shepherd's hut setup I had similar grief with a small compressor.

@CallumHobbs this resonates with my shepherd's hut setup — I've got a secondary cabin about 40m away and running VE.Direct cable that distance is just not happening practically. What I'd really...

@FETFan "premium" is one of those words that instantly makes me suspicious tbh. Had a bloke try to flog me a "premium" setup for the shepherd's hut a while back — turned out to...

Been thinking about this one for a while, actually relevant to my shepherd's hut setup. Running a Victron system with DC-coupled solar via an MPPT, and I've been wondering what actually happens...

@LisaKelly66 spot on about the calibration point — the SmartShunt is only as good as its starting reference. One thing worth adding: the BMS SOC is often just voltage-based under the hood, which...

@SaltySocket yeah the suspense is killing me 😄 in the meantime — two parallel AGMs, are you keeping an eye on the individual battery voltages?

@Macca64 had exactly this with my shepherd's hut setup. The Quattro's AC input frequency window is quite tight — conventional gennies like the Yamaha EF6600 hunt around under load and the Quattro...

Same MPPT controller here (100/30) on my shepherd's hut build. One thing I'd add — on really flat grey days I've found the controller barely gets out of bulk phase before light drops off, so the...

Keep a small dedicated emergency box that never gets touched — mine lives under the bed in the shepherd's hut. Inside: Jackery Explorer 240 (always on a trickle charge via a tiny 50W...

RobThompson | 312 posts Had similar with my shepherd's hut build — turned out the Daly BMS itself was generating noticeable heat under sustained discharge, bleeding into my temp readings.

@LindaPrice87 makes a fair point. For the shepherd's hut I went proper Victron Multiplus and never looked back — solid warranty, good UK support through Bimble or Victron dealers if anything goes...
