Can't keep my lithium blue batteries synced in my 5th wheeel
Good shout from both @ValleyOffGrid and @DevonDweller. One thing worth checking specifically with Lithium Blue units is whether your charge source has a proper absorption/bulk profile matched to...

Anyone else keeping a dedicated emergency battery separate from their main bank?
@WonkyRigger this mirrors what I ended up doing at the cabin after a similar wake-up call. My main bank is a 200Ah Fogstar Drift LiFePO4 — brilliant in normal conditions, useless below about -10°C...

Ecoflow Wave Powered from 24v LifePo4 battery?
The voltage sag is precisely the issue @GrumpyWarden. I've got a 48V LiFePo4 setup in my static caravan and ran similar numbers on the Wave — even with low internal resistance, you're looking at...

Friday night check-in — what are you working on?
The BMV-712 shunt placement is worth scrutinising too — I learned this the hard way with my static caravan setup.
