Seems to have resolved itself now that I've changed to Victron equipment. Although we are obviously getting a bit more sun now.

Situation seems to have resolved itself now that I've changed to Victron equipment.

Yes, I used a smart charger to ensure they were charged fully. I've updated my system now with Victron equipment and they stay charged for much longer.

Done.

Apologies for late reply. That would have been from the charge controller. I've updated the system now so it's all changed.

Thank you very much for taking the time to do that. Cheers

Just a small setup. Going to be expanding it a bit more. Everything I have is in the photo other than the 4 160watt panels in parallel. Cheers

Sorry, I'm new to the forum and haven't picked up the lingo yet. I understood the "None at all" bit. I didn't understand anything after that. Thanks anyway.

Blue Sea only seem to go up to 150 amps with surface mounts and their website is painful to navigate on a phone. Are there any other reliable manufacturers that make a 200 amp version? Cheers

Between the batteries and inverter, is there any reason I can't replace these... (Mine is 200 amp) With this... Saw a guy on YouTube with this setup and it seems much cleaner. Cheers

That's what I have, and have always used in the past, but that was with lead acid. The thing is, now that I have LiFePo4 I was trying to be a little more accurate seeing that between 13.1v and 13.2v is a difference of 30%. The charge controller works to 2 decimal places but that doesn't really...

That's exactly what I thought. Cheers

I was just looking at that. I was wondering if I could get it to turn my Blue Smart charger on and off. We've talked about something similar in one of my other threads. Cheers

I wouldn't say I'm concerned, I was just curious as to the "rough" soc of the batteries. Just nice to glance up and see something rather than connect via app or whatever. I'm unlikely to ever be in a position where I want exact figures. Hence the little chart. Cheers

Unfortunately not. I did look at Bluetooth batteries but I just can't justify the cost of them. To be honest, I can't justify the cost of any of it with what I'm using it for. Still going to buy it all though. 😀 I was just about to have a look at shunts as it's quite clear that I should be...
