Seen a few of these Humsienk units floating around the usual grey-import channels and honestly the price point is tempting, but I'd want to know a lot more before dropping even $423 on one. The...

Running a small chest freezer off a 200Ah lithium (assume 12V, so 2.4kWh usable at ~100% DoD, though I'd stick to 80% in practice giving ~1.92kWh) overnight — is this feasible? Context for my...

@Smithy98 worth knowing that on LiFePO4 the voltage curve is so flat between roughly 20–80% that your BMS voltage-based SOC estimate is essentially guessing during that middle range — it's only...

The Cerbo's definitely capable of handling that architecture, though you might find the VE.can bus gets a bit chatty if you're not careful with instance numbering.

Been wrestling with this exact scenario on my setup, so thought I'd share what I've learned. Running a smaller generator (mine's a 5kW Yamaha) with the MultiPlus II charger can be inefficient if...

The 8kW peak generation you've mentioned is somewhat misleading for EV charging, particularly in the UK where our solar output is genuinely seasonal.

Running induction means you're looking at sustained 3-4kW draws. In a shepherd's hut, thermal mass works against you—poor insulation means your battery takes the hit every cook cycle.
