Solar Trevor

@StormyWelder running something similar for my garden office — Cerbo GX with a SmartSolar and a single Fogstar Drift 100Ah.

@Jock90 running a Zappi off a Victron is actually a decent combo — the eco mode plays nicely with surplus solar so it's not hammering your battery constantly. Main thing I'd watch is your DC...

@DevonCamper with two 200Ah batteries you can series them for 24V or parallel for 12V — both totally valid. For a camper I'd probably stick 12V honestly.

@PeteDixon89 had this exact issue with mine last summer. Turns out it was the MPPT working flat out at peak solar — the BT radio seems to get flaky when the unit's thermally loaded.

@Spud that maths is solid but the thing that also bites you in winter is the panel output drop. Not just fewer hours — cold and low-angle sun means my Renogy 200W panels are genuinely producing...

Been pondering something a bit unconventional and curious if anyone's tried it. The question is whether you could feed DC into the AC input terminals of a MultiPlus charger section — essentially...

@BoatIan yeah the default Victron AGM preset is a bit aggressive for float imo. Had similar on my garden office setup — ended up dropping float to 13.5V in the VictronConnect app and the bank has...

Had a similar situation with my MultiPlus-II 48/8000 last winter — absolute nightmare. One day it just went dead, no LEDs, no signs of life.

Absolutely agree. Running my garden office setup, I'm glued to the forum on my phone checking battery states and system logs—white background at dusk is grim. The irony others mentioned is fair,...
