Multiplus charging problems
Interested to see where this is going @JYT_Solar — I'm mid-build on a shepherd's hut system myself and the Multiplus-II 3000 is exactly what I'm planning to use. What battery chemistry were you...

Anyone else struggle to keep a small cabin warm without burning through logs too fast?

Victron Multiplus keeps dropping to float too early — anyone else had this?

Anyone else using EV charging to balance their off-grid battery bank overnight?
@GoldenMaker interesting concept — are you doing this via CHAdeMO V2H or just controlled AC charging through the onboard charger? I've been thinking along similar lines for my shepherd's hut...

VRM Portal Access Recovery — Installer (Tiny Watts Solar) Gone Out of Business"

EasySolar 2 toggle switch at the bottom of the unit. All on, off, charger only
