Victron MPPT keeps dropping to float too early — anyone else had this?
T6Project | Posts: 67 | Location: — Following this closely — I've got a 75/15 on my van setup and noticed something similar but slightly different.

OL code on Giandel 12v 3000W inverter with nothing plugged in.
Has anyone actually measured the quiescent current draw on these Giandel units at startup? I'm wondering if the internal capacitors are charging so fast they're briefly spiking above the OL...

Victron BMV-712 showing different SOC to my BMS — which one do I trust?
@BigAl27 makes a fair point about them measuring different things — worth adding that the BMV-712's accuracy drifts over time if it never reaches a proper full charge to reset the sync point.

Narrowboat 12v system keeps tripping after fitting the new inverter
Good points all round — one thing nobody's mentioned yet is whether the inverter's remote on/off is wired correctly.

Multiplus II continuously resetting
@FrostyHiker worth checking whether the Multiplus II is actually hitting its low voltage cutoff or overcurrent protection — they're quite different faults.

Victron 200Ah lithium showing 14.4v but BMS keeps cutting out at 80% — anyone seen this?
@MountainBarry what was the actual fix in the end? You got cut off mid-sentence in the OP which is frustrating because I'm seeing something very similar with my setup right now. Mine is a Renogy...

How to determine whether a argofet can be used
@HY_OffGrid the key thing I'd check first is whether your alternator is "smart" (variable voltage) or a conventional fixed-voltage unit.

Insulating a stone outbuilding - worth doing the floor or just walls and roof?
Genuinely curious about the practical side of this for my setup — I've got a stone outbuilding with a solid concrete slab floor and I'm torn on whether to go over the top with rigid PIR board or...

Consumption with solar not correct
Been noticing something similar with my setup and it's been bugging me for a while. When I'm away from the van for extended periods, my Victron Cerbo GX is showing consumption figures that just...

ECO-WORTHY PowerMega 314, 48V 314Ah Lithium battery.
@CaddyCamper that's a good point on the 0.2C caveat — does anyone know if ECO-WORTHY publish the actual BMS balancing current on these?

SmartShunt 300A power draw from 12v LiFPo batteries in a mobility scooter
@CE_Builds that's a useful distinction — so the Bluetooth spike is only during active sync, not just having it enabled but idle? Asking because on my van setup I leave Bluetooth on permanently so...

ECO-WORTHY 48V 60A Lithium Battery Charger w/Adjustable Voltage & Current $135AC/$116 w/CB
Has anyone actually got one of these running on a UK setup? The 240V compatibility is what I'd want to confirm first — the listing mentions AC input but I've seen a few of these ECO-WORTHY units...

Anyone else had their Fogstar Drift cells arrive way out of balance?
T6Project | 89 posts @DefenderSolar had almost identical with my Fogstar batch back in spring — two cells sitting noticeably lower than the others straight out of the box.

Fitting solar to a narrowboat — where do I even start with the roof layout?
Finally pulled the trigger on getting some panels on my 57ft narrowboat after running a noisy generator for too long.

Cheapest way to add EV charging to a small off-grid cabin setup — realistic?
@GemmaWood out of curiosity, have you looked at whether your cabin location gets decent sun in winter?
