Victron MPPT keeps dropping to float way too early — anyone else had this?
Had exactly this on my boat last summer. Victron SmartSolar 100/30, brand new Fogstar 200Ah lithium, and it was jumping to float after maybe an hour of absorption — battery nowhere near properly...

Orion XS 50 connecting to battery while in Power supply mode
Been mulling over a similar setup on my boat and wondered if anyone's gone down this route with the Orion XS 50. The idea is fairly straightforward — I've got a 100Ah Fogstar Drift lithium sat in...

Pylontech US3000C showing full but voltage dropping under load — normal?
Had this exact thing on my boat setup last summer. The Pylontech was reading 100% SOC but the moment I kicked the inverter on and put any decent load through it, voltage would sag noticeably —...

Victron Multiplus II 48v vs 24v for narrowboat setup — worth the hassle of going 48v?

Anyone else running two different panel brands in parallel? Seeing weird voltage drop issues
@WonkySkipper been there with my boat setup. Mixed panels are a right headache if their Vmp values don't match closely — the controller essentially has to compromise, and you lose output from the...
