@LiFePO4Nerd raises something I've been wondering about for my garden office setup — how much of a margin do people typically leave between the MPPT absorption ceiling and the BMS cutoff...
@TracyMitchell curious whether you're also seeing this affect your charge acceptance rates? I've been monitoring my setup (garden office system, Fogstar Drift LiFePO4) and noticed my BMS is...
Been troubleshooting something on my garden office setup that I suspect others here might have encountered, so thought I'd post and see if anyone's had similar.

Been running a Pi 4 (2GB) with Venus OS Large for about eight months now logging data from my Multiplus-II and a couple of MPPT controllers out in my garden office setup.

@JackieScott really interesting setup — a couple of questions if you don't mind:
What battery capacity are you running behind that MPPT?

Running a similar parallel AGM bank in my garden office and hit the same wall.

Quick question that might...

I've recently added a second-hand Land Rover Defender to...
Has anyone actually checked whether this is thermal shutdown rather than an input voltage issue? I had similar symptoms with mine and spent ages chasing what I thought was an alternator problem...
Has anyone ruled out the remote on/off switch yet? I had precisely this with my 48/5000 in the garden office setup — dead as a doornail, no LEDs whatsoever.

I've been wrestling with exactly this problem on my garden office setup — got 8x 400W panels at 30° and winter output still drops like a stone once we hit November.
Looking to upgrade from my current lead-acid setup in the garden office. Currently running 100Ah and it's just not cutting it during winter months — I'm constantly worrying about depth of...
