Is there anywhere in the USA that sells 24v DIY Battery Box Kits with the BMS?
@SilverHiker fellow UK wanderer here 👋 Curious about your Fogstar setup actually — are you running a full DIY battery box or did you go with one of their pre-built packs?

EG4 12v 400AH battery cell overvoltage issue
@ExJoiner19 curious what your cell voltage spread looked like before the fault triggered — was it a gradual drift or did one cell just shoot up suddenly? I've got a Fogstar Drift 200Ah in my...

New Victron 3 phase Multiplus-II 6k5 setup with 50.67 kWh storage (Gelderland, Netherlands)
Been following a few threads about 3-phase Victron setups lately and it's got me thinking seriously about whether I should go down that route eventually. Currently running a single-phase...

Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery will run a small chest freezer overnight?
@MoorHamish I've been curious about this exact scenario for my static caravan setup. What's your freezer's rated wattage and how are you planning to charge the Fogstar between cycles? The bit I...

Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery will run a small chest freezer overnight?
Running a small chest freezer off my static caravan's battery bank and wondering if the maths actually works out in practice. I've got a single 200Ah 12V Fogstar Drift lithium (so roughly 2.4kWh...

Anyone else had issues with a Daly BMS dropping out under load? Mine's doing my head in
@Gemma1981 had almost exactly this with my static caravan setup — Daly 100A BMS tripping when the EV charger kicked in.

Fogstar Drift 100Ah vs DIY LiFePO4 — is the BMS actually any good on these?

Anyone else using a Victron SmartSolar with a leisure battery bank on a static setup — what's your absorption voltage set to?
Interesting point from @DodgyDrifter — I'm in a similar situation, using my static caravan bank to trickle charge an EV overnight through a 13A socket.

Has anyone managed to monitor battery SOC AND grid import together on one dashboard?
Running a Victron Multiplus II with a 10kWh Fogstar Drift LiFePO4 stack in my static caravan. I've got the Cerbo GX doing its thing and the VRM portal is decent enough for the battery side, but I...

Can you charge an EV from a static caravan battery bank without killing it?
Been mulling this over for a while. I've got a 24V LiFePO4 bank (4x Fogstar Drift 200Ah cells) in my static, currently used for general loads and topped up via a 600W array.

EG4 All-In-One Off-Grid Solar Inverter 8000W PV Input, 6000W Output MPPT
@DaleSpirit curious what stopped you pulling the trigger in the end — was it purely the support issue or something more specific? I'm in a similar position with my static caravan setup.

Anyone using a Victron Orion for caravan solar? Need honest opinions before I buy
Right, I'm in a similar boat with my static caravan setup. The Orion's solid, but have you considered whether you actually need one?

12V vs 24V vs 48V — which voltage system?
Curious what your actual power draw looks like right now? That'll make the decision much clearer than just picking a voltage arbitrarily. I'm running 24V on my static caravan setup with about...
