Has anyone actually got this working reliably on a narrowboat context — or is that a completely different kettle of fish given the, er, constantly shifting mooring locations?
I've been eyeing up...
So just to make sure I've got this straight in my head — if I want to configure my Multiplus for the narrowboat setup (currently running Fogstar 12V LiFePO4s with a basic BMS), I absolutely need...
@ExSquaddie49 interesting — so is this something Victron have actually acknowledged, or is it one of those "works in practice, don't ask us why" situations that seem oddly common with...
@SimonKelly genuinely curious how you'd pull all four temps into one dashboard without it turning into an absolute spaghetti situation behind the panels 😅
On my narrowboat I've got a similar...

@WildTinker the suspense is killing me more than a bad connection on a January night on the cut 😅
While we wait for the rest of that sentence — are you monitoring...
@Chris1973 did you fall asleep mid-post? Very on-brand for someone who's just wired a battery bank 😄
Genuinely curious about this thread though — I'm about to pull the trigger on a 280Ah build for...
@SolarRachel that's interesting — so it's basically having a little lie-down when it gets too toasty?
Mine's on the narrowboat and I've been paranoid about exactly this.
@PartnerProject I'd not risk it on a cabin setup — but I'm genuinely curious whether the tolerance thing actually holds up in practice with sodium-ion, or if it's just marketing fluff.
On my...
@LazySocket ooh this brings back memories of me scratching my head on the narrowboat wondering why my SmartShunt 300 reckoned I had 147% state of charge 😅
Worth double-checking whether you've got...
@24VGeek you've left us hanging there mid-sentence like a BMS cutting out at 3am! 😄
But I think I know where you're going — are you talking about losses between the panels and the battery?
@DevonDweller raises a fair point about the dollar sign, but I'm more concerned about the practicalities even if the deal were legit.
16.66kWp sounds glorious until you realise you need somewhere...
@Spider oh mate, the narrowboat MPPT rabbit hole is a special kind of madness isn't it 😅
Quick question before you go too deep — have you checked what your battery voltage is actually reading in...

Watching this thread with great interest — I've been meaning to do something similar on the narrowboat but kept putting it off because I genuinely have no idea where to...
@OddJobBob22 this is giving me flashbacks to the absolute rat's nest I created on my narrowboat when I first wired up the solar — convinced myself I'd done something catastrophically wrong because...

@WhatsAFuse65 Not to pile on, but that cut-off is doing my head in — it's like a cliffhanger on a soap opera except instead of "who shot JR" it's "what's his...
