Anyone else finding their MPPT controller reads wildly different to their battery monitor?
Had exactly this on my static caravan setup. Worth checking whether your battery monitor's shunt is positioned correctly — if it's not on the negative terminal of the battery itself (with...

Anyone actually running a static caravan fully off-grid through a British winter — what's your honest amp-hour count?

Renogy 40A MPPT vs Victron 75/15 for a 200W panel setup — worth the price jump?
