Great thread @JennyCole — one thing worth checking that I haven't seen mentioned yet is whether you've got PowerAssist enabled or disabled in VEConfigure.

SilverSpanner | 847 posts @SteveBurns99 good shout raising this one. Worth mentioning that if you're running it alongside a Cerbo GX, you can also disable the charger remotely through the VRM...

Great points all round here. One thing I'd add that hasn't been mentioned yet — have a look at your RahVolt's DVCC settings if you're running it through a Cerbo GX or similar.

Been scratching my head over this one for a few weeks now. Running a 48v LiFePO4 bank (4x 280Ah EVE cells in series, so 16 cells total wired as 4S4P), managed through a Daly 150A BMS.

Had the original 65A alternator on my Beta 43 die on me last week, so rather than just replacing like-for-like I thought it was a good opportunity to upsize.

Picked up a 4S 100A BMS from AliExpress last month for about £8.50 delivered — JBD/Xiaoxiang branded, the kind you can hook up to a Bluetooth app and actually see what's going on with each cell.

Really useful thread this. @George1975 one thing worth adding — the MultiPlus-II has that PowerControl feature but more relevant here is Dynamic Current Limiter, and honestly for low-load...
