Yeah, the $150 a month is keeping us from just switching over from our cable internet service which is $55/mo with the equipment rental. I think it's $5 is for the modem. Probly should just buy one. Anyway, $120 for the fixed residential service isn't cheap, but a lot of people pay that or more...

Got our Gen3 and setup for the RV - in a word, just outstanding. It's so simple and works so good, all tech companies should strive for this level of service and performance. Not only is the hardware excellent and easy to configure, the internet access, app and supporting service is nothing...

Understand that full charge is right about 3.5Vpc. My battery is a DIY with LFP cells from china - they were top-balanced when it was built, and remains so until pushed over about 13.5V - then one or more cells will reach full and begin to spike. As soon as charging terminates and it settles...

Perhaps the wrong size shunt? Connected on the neg side? Should not get hot unless over amped. I have one of those meters, has been fine.

Yes, just hook them up with proper wire and fusing and see how it goes. They'll either charge or they won't. LOL

I keep threatening to replace my epevers with victron stuff. More reliable and robust, better documentation, superior engineering.

Written by Chinese engineers. Sometimes does not translate to English very well. I don’t have all the answers, but I can tell you what I’ve experienced with my EPEver controllers. The controller needs a power source to operate, so it needs to be powered on first before connecting a PV array...

Getting gen 3 and roam in a couple of weeks for the motorhome. Setting out around campsite for signal good enough. Best Buy sells them now too. $150/mo is getting steep. Can suspend account when not traveling though. Keeping cable internet at the house for now - $50/mo for 300mbs with no...

Personally I like the idea of running a serperate circuit back to where you need power, and setup a terminal/fuse block to power things instead of cigar lighter which is limited to about 10A. Your Delta can be set for faster charging that way, and you can run multiple devices. XT60 plugs are...

SOK FTW.

Delta-Mini here…I do one or the other. It’s very portable, so I set it outside with the portable solar panels when solar charging. Put it where I need it for powering things. If I need/want to charge it with the cigar lighter then just plug it in. I limit to 8A for this. Or I can charge it...

A generator doesn't do any charging by itself. It draws from it's starting battery to start, then supplies 120VAC. I think most RV's have a converter/charger/12V center which does charge, but not generally the starting batteries. And most of them have a connecting solenoid that allows the...

For the hundred bucks or whatever, a victron orion will likely save you from having to replace your alternator. 100Ah is really very small for a house battery - my furnace blower pulls 10Ah running, so a cold night can pull 50-80Ah. I didn't notice if you had a 120VAC inverter. Connect your...

Seems reasonable. Are your current battery cables not big enough for the new current loads? If not, why not just replace them? Understand that a couple kw's may not be enough to run the whole coach? You might get a 15A load out of it. 200Ah of battery is really small - that means you might...

Unsub…SMH.
