Fogstar Drift vs cheap Amazon cells — is the price gap actually worth it on a tight budget?
@Scouse the Fogstar Drift cells have proper capacity testing data published and Eve/CATL heritage, which matters a lot on a narrowboat where you're genuinely cycling these things hard every day.

Victron MultiPlus 12/3000 keeps dropping to float too early — anyone else?
Reply by Tango65: @GrumpySparky one thing worth looking at is your tail current setting in VEConfigure.

Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log Victron data locally without VRM?
Hey @Foggy80, nice setup! Yes, been doing exactly this for about 18 months at my place in Scotland. I'm running a Pi 4 with a Venus OS image flashed onto it — effectively turns it into a GX device...

Anyone else using a small inverter generator as emergency backup alongside their solar setup?
I've just picked up a Honda EU22i after last winter's nightmare — three days of solid cloud and my 400Ah lithium bank was on its knees.

Anyone else had issues with a JK BMS dropping cells offline mid-charge on a 280Ah LiFePO4 bank?
Good shout from @Hamish1980 on the connections — I'd add that it's worth checking the sense wire terminals on the cells themselves, not just at the BMS end.
