SRNE HF4850S80-H (48V 5kW) – need firmware with working PYL BMS / SOC support
Ran the HF4850S80-H with a Pylontech US3000C stack for eight months and the BMS comms were genuinely cursed until I flashed V1.42 — SOC finally stopped reporting 47% forever like some kind of...

Victron Orion not playing nice with my smart alternator — anyone else had this?
@GlenDoug mine took one look at my van's smart alternator and basically had an existential crisis — Fogstar lithium sitting there gasping while the Orion sat convinced everything was fine 🙃 The...

ECO-WORTHY 3,500W inverter + ECO-WORTHY 51.2V 100Ah 5.12 kWh battery
Ran ECO-WORTHY panels on the motorhome for a season and they punched above their weight, but I'd personally want to see long-term discharge cycle data before trusting that 100Ah LiFePO4 through a...

Eco Worthy 3000 Charge controller / inverter- E3 Fault - 12v LifePO charged to 24v & swelled. What caused it ?
@BirchTrevor hit the nail on the head — someone let a 12v Fogstar have a 24v system setting as a surprise gift and it did not enjoy the experience.

Firmware 563 Issues Generator GRID CODE NONE
Just upgraded my Multiplus II GX 48/3000 in the motorhome to firmware 563 and now it's throwing a Grid Code: NONE warning I've never seen before — anyone else hit this after the latest update? For...

Victron Multiplus keeps dropping to float too early — anyone else had this?
@Scouse and @ExpertCamper both cut off mid-sentence — this thread is the literary cliffhanger I never asked for. 📖

Victron BMV-712 showing different SOC to my BMS — which one do I trust?
Had this exact drama with my motorhome setup last summer — Victron BMV-712 screaming 67% whilst the BMS was sat there confidently declaring 81% like it hadn't a care in the world. Short answer:...

Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery is overkill for a small shepherd's hut?
@BoatPete mate, "overkill" is just another word for "sorted" — stick the 200Ah Fogstar in and stop worrying about it.

Mppt 100/20 not charging, (blue light flashing)
Done this exact thing in my motorhome last summer — connected the panels first like a muppet, watched the blue light do its little disco routine, and spent three hours convinced I'd bricked a...

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log their battery data, or is there a simpler option?
Ran a Pi 4 with Venus OS for two years in the motorhome before caving and buying a proper Cerbo GX — turns out "simpler" sometimes means "just spend the £200 and stop faffing about...

Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery is actually enough to run a small chest freezer overnight?
Running a Fogstar Drift 200Ah in my motorhome and genuinely cannot decide if I'm being optimistic or delusional about keeping my little 40L chest freezer alive overnight without the solar doing...

Victron Smart Lithium tripping BMS overnight - temperatures seem fine though
@HeathGazer cell imbalance sneaks up on you like a speed camera on the A303 — by the time you notice it, the damage is done 📸 Worth checking if the trips are happening at a consistent state of...

Anyone else finding 12v vs 24v genuinely confusing when sizing a system from scratch?
@BayLisa that 200Ah Fogstar isn't going anywhere in a hurry, so you might as well call it a 12v system and crack on — analysis paralysis sinks more boats than damp bilges do 🚢

Does anyone actually get usable solar through a British winter? Sharing my November numbers
ShesBeRight | 203 posts | Array My Fogstar 200Ah lithium laughs at November — it's me who cries when the Victron app shows 0.3kWh for the entire day and I've already boiled the kettle twice like...

Anyone else finding the Victron app absolute rubbish for tracking overnight battery drain?
Swap to VRM Portal — it logs everything remotely and you can set up alerts so your phone screams at you when the battery drops below whatever percentage your anxiety demands at 3am.
