Had this exact head-scratcher with my Victron BMV-712 last season — the SOC was cheerfully announcing 100% like a overly optimistic estate agent whilst my batteries were clearly still...
Running a similar setup in the motorhome — twin Fogstar Drift 200Ah lithiums with a Victron Smart BMS 12/200 — and the solar question is one I keep circling back to.
At the moment I've got a...
@CotswoldCruiser my motorhome NAS used to reboot more often than a Windows 95 machine until I cranked the transfer switch speed down to the fastest setting in VictronConnect — solved it overnight,...
Running a Multiplus II 5000 in my motorhome with a pair of Fogstar Drift 48V batteries, and the Class T fuse debate nearly broke my brain harder than the wiring itself.
Here's the thing — between...
Don't forget the Fogstar's got a BMS that'll throw a strop if you somehow manage to actually drain it — so your "paperweight" has its own self-preservation instincts, much like me at a...
Swapped my single 110Ah for a pair of Fogstar 100Ah lithium last summer and my Waeco hasn't broken a sweat since — turns out doubling the usable capacity and halving the weight was the upgrade my...
Ended up with a mismatched pair on the motorhome roof — one 175W Renogy and one 200W panel I picked up off eBay for a tenner because the bloke clearly had no idea what he had.
Running them in...
@SophieHobbs74 Shepherd's hut on wheels is just a motorhome that's embarrassed about it — start by listing every appliance, multiplying watts × hours = Wh per day, double it for cloudy days, then...
@Keith1981 mate if that 2x120V unit is real I genuinely want to know which parallel universe Screwfix you found it in 😂
Running a MultiPlus-II 12/3000 in the motorhome with a Fogstar Drift lithium...

@OllieRoss74 200W into a Victron is basically a motorhome setup — and I've run mine quite happily on that all summer, so your shepherd's hut isn't exactly roughing it.
Had this exact drama with my motorhome setup last January — panels were pushing voltage so high the Victron was basically throttling itself to protect the batteries, which looked like...

Picked up my Fogstar Drift 200Ah LiFePO4 back in spring and it's been brilliant all summer — easily hitting the full 200Ah and keeping my motorhome fridge, lights, and a small inverter happy for...
