I get him to try that tomorrow. He's a neighbor but not right next door!

Ok. Here's the label off the back of one of the (4) panels. They must be connected 2 parallel 2 series to get 80 volts. He's disconnected the older two batteries. Newer ones (24V 200 amp hour) still are not going over 26.6. High noon sunny all morning. Outback says 80 volts, 27 amps out. Charger...

Just back from fishing. Thanks for the replies. I was looking at his outback 80 charge controller screen. Volts was 80 and amps out was 27. Didn't go on the roof to look at the panels but he had a pic of the label. Don't remember exact numbers but it was around 45volts and 12 amps per panel...

Thanks. Sound like a panel connection?

My neighbor has had a couple 24V 200 amp hour batteries for a couple years. He just added two more and told me they weren't getting over 26.6 volts and goes down to about 26.3 overnight. We've had plenty of sun. 1650 watts of solar from four panels and his outback cc says 27 amps and 80 volts...

Thanks! Couldn't see a problem but.........

Hi. I'm moving my Smart Shunt location. Recent hurricane got things wet close to where it's mounted now. If I mount it upside down it will make routing "cleaner". Anyone see any problem with that? Don't see anything from Victron about it.

I'm in Baja Sur and just had a battery brought down. There should be a shipper that picks up at the border somewhere and delivers to you. ACV Logistics in Baja. Not cheap but cheaper than driving up and back.

Great! Thanks a bunch

Hi. I have a Victron smart shunt. Bluetooth range is minimal. I have an old android smartphone. If I understand what you've done is get a vnc viewer for the computer and the android app for the phone and I'll be able to read the Victron app? Can I access it from another smart phone? I was...

Just what I needed! Thanks

HI. I haven't found an answer in my search....probably because I'm not sure what I'm asking! I've given up on getting Watch power to work! I have an EG4 6500 inverter, 2 sealed EG4 WP batteries, and a Victron Smart shunt. No communication cables from the batteries to the inverter. I'm assuming...

All good advice if you have the money. Of course, I'm not worried about freezing!

Sunshine_eggo! In hindsight you are absolutely right. I put in the original system 20 years ago when all the "solar experts" in the area didn't seem to know as much as I did. First lithium experience and I didn't know what protect mode was until they wouldn't power up the inverter. Never enough...

Hello Phantom. I would love hear something telling me I'm worried about nothing!! I saw Will Prowse's youtube on the chargeverter when it first came out. This was after I'd purchased the inverter. Watch that. It's what made me read more. There is a discussion on this forum somewhere about the...
