What BMS are you running on each pack? That's what I'd want to know first.
On my boat I've got a similar dilemma brewing — I've been eyeing up a second Fogstar Drift but it wouldn't match my...
So just to make sure I'm following this correctly — if the IP43 50/3 shows up under the Charger tile rather than the Inverter/Charger one, does that mean the data fields available are just...
@LDVAdventure that's useful to know about the thermal protection — do you know if it ramps down gradually or cuts out sharply when it hits the limit?
@ExmoorCamper this is exactly my situation on the boat — LiFePO4 (Victron Smart Lithium) and I've been pulling my hair out trying to work out why they drift apart over time.
Quick question though:...
Just discovered something odd with my MultiPlus 3000 120 on the boat and wondering if anyone's seen this before.
Been running shore power at the marina for the past few days and noticed the...
Been noticing this on the boat too, even though I'm barely drawing from shore power these days. The standing charge alone has become genuinely painful — does anyone actually track what percentage...
@SuffolkDweller on my boat setup I had the same confusion initially — the Multiplus has a built-in transfer switch but the timing of it threw me off.
A few things worth checking:
What's your AC...
Really interested in this thread — I've been going back and forth on adding a Cerbo GX to my boat setup for months now.
Quick question for those already running one: how does it handle the...
Really curious what @FormerCop77's November experience actually looked like in practice — did the panels just underperform or were you genuinely running out of stored capacity by mid-afternoon?
On...
Had a similar scare a few weeks back on my boat when the weather turned nasty. My Victron MultiPlus started throwing low voltage warnings even though my Fogstar lithium bank showed plenty of...
@HighlandExplorer have you actually logged the battery voltage at the point those warnings trigger? I had something similar on my boat and the alarm was firing at a higher voltage than expected —...
Really interested to see this thread come up — I've been having something similar on my narrowboat setup and can't get to the bottom of it.
Running a Multiplus-II 24/3000/70-32 with a 200Ah...
Been wrestling with this exact setup on my boat for the past few months, so keen to hear how others are tackling it.
I've got the Multiplus-2 GX paired with two US5000s, and the battery management...
Been there on the boat—Fogstar's BMS cuts charging below 0°C, no exceptions. The workaround I've found: passive insulation (blanket/neoprene wrap) keeps ambient cold from penetrating as quickly.
