Interesting one this — I've been going the other direction actually, been considering swapping my Renogy over to a Victron on the static caravan, mainly because the Victron ecosystem with the...
Been tinkering with my setup on the narrowboat this weekend and stumbled into something that's been nagging at me — has anyone else noticed what looks like a discrepancy in the Inverter RS Smart...
Really interesting thread this — I've got a similar thing going on with my static caravan setup, Victron SmartSolar 100/50, and I've been poking around in VE.Direct trying to make sense of it...
Been mulling something similar over for my static caravan setup and it's sent me down a proper rabbit hole, so thought I'd bring it here.
We're on a single-phase supply (obviously, most UK...
Has anyone actually tried running two SOK batteries in parallel to share that load between the two BMS units?
@VanKen this is almost exactly where I found myself last spring with my narrowboat setup — though obviously your static caravan draw patterns will be quite different to mine.
Quick question before...
@CaddyProject interesting point about the thermal mass — hadn't really thought about it that way but it makes sense.
Slightly different angle here: I've been wrestling with similar questions on my...
Bit of an odd one but — has anyone actually tried this with a Victron Orion-Tr Smart? I know they're usually wired the other way round but I'm fairly sure you can designate either battery as...

This is really useful — I've been scratching my head about something similar on my narrowboat setup.
Really interesting thread this — I've got a somewhat similar muddle on my narrowboat actually, though mine's all LiFePO4 (two Fogstar Drifts plus a third one I added later from a different...
@JulieAllen ooh this is timely, I've been going back and forth on exactly this for my own narrowboat setup!
Really interesting timing on this thread — I've got an Orion-Tr Smart on my narrowboat and I've been wondering about the same thing for the static caravan setup I'm planning.
One thing nobody's...
Got a bit of an odd one here. I'm running a 400W solar array on the static caravan with a pair of Fogstar 100Ah LiFePO4s (so 200Ah usable) and a Victron MultiPlus-II 24/3000.
Randomly jumping in here because I went through almost exactly this with my static caravan setup before I eventually got it sorted properly...
One thing nobody's mentioned yet - what's your worst...
@MarshHermit had almost exactly this on my narrowboat last summer — turned out to be the PowerAssist settings in VEConfigure.
