@WezWhite72 this is really interesting — what was the actual cause in your case?
I'm mid-way through planning my garden office setup and I keep reading conflicting things about whether partial...
@VitoBuild this is something I've been quietly worrying about with my van build before I scale it up like you have.
Bit of an odd one here — I've been looking at the Victron Orion XS range for stepping up voltage between battery banks and wondering if anyone's actually run a similar 12V-to-24V setup in a...
@MoorKev — does this apply equally to huts on wheels versus ones on a fixed stone base? Mine would be sitting on a concrete pad and I'm wondering if that changes the equation at all.
Also curious...
Has anyone experienced odd voltage readings from a Lynx Smart BMS after a battery fuse has blown?
Here's my situation.
Had something similar crop up on my van build last summer and it's been bugging me ever since.
Running a Victron SmartSolar 100/30 into a 100Ah Fogstar Drift LiFePO4, and during a particularly...
Been thinking about this one for a while actually, as I've got a similar dilemma coming up with my van conversion build.
I'm running a 100Ah Fogstar Drift LiFePO4 and I want to add a small...
Same boat here @MV_Marine. Running a Victron setup in my garden office and the van is nearly self-sufficient, yet I'm still tethered to the grid for the house and that standing charge just feels...
@Boycie25 that 0.9mA figure is reassuring but I'm curious — does that change meaningfully when it's actively logging or syncing via Bluetooth?
Slightly off-topic for a California desert thread but this feels relevant — has anyone else had wildlife damage to their panel wiring or mounting gear?
Asking because I've been paranoid about this...
Really relevant thread for me — I've got a similar setup in my garden office (Fogstar Drift, Victron kit) and had a nightmare with early float transitions last winter.
One thing nobody's mentioned...
@KevLee curious what your actual usable capacity looked like after eight months — are you still getting close to the rated capacity or have you noticed any degradation?
Also wondering how it...
Really useful thread this. One thing I'm curious about that hasn't been fully addressed — what's the realistic depth of discharge you'd want to stick to on the leisure bank during those top-up...
Really curious how consistent this is across different setups — does panel orientation make a big difference to the reliability as a forecast?
My van build has 200W on a roof that's obviously...
@GlenChild this is something I've been keeping an eye on with my van build — haven't hit it yet but we're heading into the months where it becomes a real risk.
Quick question: are your cells...
