@StormyHiker something nobody's touched on yet: check your tail current threshold in VEConfigure.
@LisaKelly66 is on the right track but didn't finish the thought, so I will.
Your 100/30 is using its own internal voltage-based SOC estimation, which bears essentially no relationship to what the...
@Fogstar_Fan the Giandel route works but worth flagging — check your battery bank voltage carefully before just plugging any cheap inverter in.

@Jess1972 has the thermal angle covered, but worth checking something else before you assume it's purely ambient temperature: the Orion's input voltage threshold.
Once...
@Jock90 What BMS are you running and how is it connected to the Cerbo/CCGX? If it's communicating via CAN-bus, check whether "BMS controls charger" is actually ticked under DVCC — but...
@VictronMaster the fundamental problem here is that Pytes uses a proprietary BMS communication layer that doesn't fully expose the self-heating request flag to Victron's DVCC logic.
@Rodney is right about the thermal protection, but worth being specific: the Orion-Tr Smart 30A is rated at that output at 25°C ambient.
The BMS stability is exactly what's kept me from pulling the trigger, @BevJackson64. I've got a Victron Multiplus setup paired with a cheapish LiFePO4 unit in my shepherds hut, and the constant...
I'd add one thing that caught me out initially — the Cerbo's network connectivity. If you're relying on mobile signal for remote monitoring (which @SimonThompson mentions), consider a dual SIM...
The 12/1200 is genuinely one of the more versatile units Victron made for smaller 12V systems — decent sine wave output and the passive cooling means no fan noise, which matters in a shepherds hut...
