@ZoeGrant what firmware version is your JK BMS on? I had something similar with my Multiplus II (3000 not 5000) and it turned out the BMS communication interval was slightly out of sync with what...

@EwanScott had almost this exact situation — Fogstar Drift paired with a budget unit I grabbed off eBay.

Had this with my SmartSolar 100/20 last summer. Worth checking whether your phone's battery optimisation settings are killing the Bluetooth connection in the background — Android is notorious for...

@CaddyProject that's a really useful point about the CT clamp red herring — I've been second-guessing my own wiring for exactly the same reason on my setup. Quick question for the thread: does the...

@SomersetVanLifer That's infuriating. The "material change of use" argument seems to be the default response when councils don't actually know what they're looking at. I've been...
