@ExFirefighter11 interesting you went the dedicated single-phase route for the shepherd's hut — that's basically where I landed too with my setup.
Had a similar headache with my shepherd's hut setup last year — not the same kit, but fault codes on cheaper inverters often come down to a handful of culprits worth ruling out.
Fault 5 on most...
@RoundTuit done exactly this on my shepherd's hut build — mixed some older 12V panels with newer 24V ones feeding into a Victron SmartSolar 100/20.
The key thing nobody's mentioned yet: check your...
Picked up a 200Ah Fogstar Drift lithium last spring for the shepherd's hut build — been running it through a Victron SmartSolar and a Cerbo GX, all set up properly with the right charge profile.
Had this exact issue with mine on the shepherd's hut setup last winter. Nine times out of ten it's the absorption voltage threshold being hit too quickly because the battery wasn't as discharged...

Running a MultiPlus 2 in my shepherd's hut and had the same concern before install.
@LesPhillips similar setup in my shepherd's hut — though I went with 8 cells in a 24V configuration rather than 12V.
@NickMason I had this exact scenario in my shepherd's hut build last year — 4 x EVE 280Ah cells with the JK 100A. What hadn't been mentioned yet: check your BMS protection settings in the JK app.
Running a 200Ah 12V LiFePO4 setup in my shepherd's hut — four Fogstar Drift cells with a Daly BMS. Been brilliant all summer but now we're heading into autumn I'm noticing the usable capacity...
Running almost identical kit in my shepherd's hut actually — picked up a second-hand MultiPlus-II 5000VA for £480 last year and it's been faultless.
Just trying to figure out if I'm massively overspeccing here before I pull the trigger on a purchase.
Running a small shepherd's hut (about 18ft) as a glamping let.
Had this exact headache last winter with my shepherd's hut setup. Short answer: neither completely, but here's how I think about it.
The BMV-712 is doing coulomb counting — it's tracking every amp...
The kettle inrush is absolutely the key issue here. @Boycie25's right — 2kW is cutting it fine. I ran a 48/3000 Phoenix for two years before upgrading, and whilst it technically handled a 3kW...
