I noticed you have the Victron Lynx 1000 distribution box with their normal shunt. How do you like the Lynx 1000 and did you concider adding the shunt that goes with it instead?

I like your setup its nice and clean! I take it your only using the AC output 1 and feeding it to a standard 15a recepticle and also a RV 30a recepticle through that breaker box? For the connection the MK3-USB seems to be used for both programming and connecting to a Pi, take a look at this guy...

I was also looking at the Victron Energy Lynx Distributor and maybe the Lynx shunt that goes with it. Is this worth it, seems a little pricey, maybe just the distribution unit alone.

I had noticed i chose the dual at first, not needed here either. Do you like the MP II? Currently I am using the Aims 300w 24v and it works but if I`m going to go victron, might as well cahnge everything. I am going to get the MK3-USB adapter so I can connect it to the Pi.

Sorry I guess I should mention what else I already have. -24v 300aH Lifepo4 battery -2 strings of 3x 340w and 350w (which will make them all 340w essentially) ill be taking the BMV-712 and once I have all this configured I`m thinking of adding the Victron Energy Inverter/Charger MultiPlus-II...

Any any thoughts on the systems i posted above? Also what battery shunt is best that can also connect with the VRM and to the backend for login?

ok well I guess this is going a little further down the Victron rabbit hole then I thought but that’s good, I was planning on changing my SCC first then adding later, keeping my old setup for maybe other items, and since I want to make sure not to purchase the wrong or extra items for...

Thank you for this info, this is very interesting and after lookin at the device this is really cool. Do you know if you can connect more then 2 items, I want to eventually have 2 MPPT and 1 victron inverter/charger. I already have a rasperry with a LTE hat that I will try first, but in the...

Just my small camp, RV with small shed and DC fridge. Its overkill but I like this stuff and like to be able to monitor. Nice knowing if I have to run up to camp to start the generator or shut things down remotely to conserve energy.

I like this since I have 2 raspberry not being used. Would this also allow me to use the victron lte device when my Starlink is shut down?

What device would be required to allow it to be access by the Internet? I see there are a few items you can add once creating an account on vrm. Also is this a free service?

I wouldn’t use more then two that I can think of, this is only my camp and I don’t need very large battery capacity. Is there still a way to connect the device to the Internet so I can see the logs online?

Currently my string is 6 panels at 340w, so after the conversion and 80% efficiency that’s only 60A that I can pull. I rather add a second mppt with a new string and chain them. The location will have different sun times as my first spot doesn’t have room for more panels, so i figured instead of...

I currently use a MidNite classic 150 for my new 24v 300aH battery but rather keep it for my old fla batteries so I am looking at the victron 150/70 to replace it. There are a few options available (smart solar, blue solar, Bluetooth, tr, ve.can, etc). I want to go the Bluetooth route so I’m...

Thank you for this info. So for now I set my charge and eq to 27.6v, eq Tim’s to 0 so this basically disables it, float to 27.5v and my end amps to 15a. What should I set the charge time to? I had it for 15 minutes but changed it to 2 hours now. As for the BMS settings, the capacity voltage is...

First weekend back at camp and I installed my new 24v 300aH lifepo4 battery. I set my MidNite classic 150 for 28.8v eq and absobtion, 27.6v float, 0 minutes for eq time. Not sure if this correct. There are also the absorption charge time and ending bulk amps at 5.4a. What is the recommended...

I purchased a 24v 300ah battery from Alibaba Qishou technology and wasn't sure if they screwed up or not. On a sticker label on the battery is shows JBD150A (7680WH) and in the APP BMS model is AP21S001-V11GB. The sticker on the battery worries me because it looks like 150A and I cant really...

Thanks guys I'll update this thread to give information to whoever is interested.

I'm not too keen on leaving this run overnight, do you think it would matter if I run it all day, stop it at night and resume in the morning? Im also thinking on getting the one that has multiple boards so it can go up to 600w.

I would use the inverter and shunt I currently have but all of it is at my camp which is not accessible during winter. I ordered myself a cheap 24v inverter and shunt. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08TR3JZ4W/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A505H0U4TGVUQ&th=1...

I recently received a battery i purchased, 24v 300Ah, and I wanted to test it to make sure everything is working correctly and it actually has the capacity it’s supposed to have. I`ve been looking through the forum as well as online for a capacity tester for the entire battery (not individual...

Does anyone have any suggestions or through's? Just waned to make sure I order something that will work correctly.

Here a couple i found searching online, just not sure if they would be good or not. Any one have suggestions? https://www.canbat.com/product/24v-25a-lithium-battery-charger-lifepo%e2%82%84/ https://www.lithiumion-batteries.com/products/product/24v-45a-lithium-battery-charger

Yes sorry I want to charge it from grid, either during winter when i bring it back from my cabin and use it connected to my Yamaha 3000 generator to supplement on bad days if I deplete too much and my solar cant charge it.

I purchased a 24v 300ah Lifepo4 battery and it should be in in a couple of weeks. I was wondering if there was any recommendation on a charger that is about 50a to 60a, unless this is not a good idea.

No my system is currently 24v 420aH. My only thoughts was in the event I want to separate my system I could go back to 2x 12v systems, one for my outdoor power needs as well as my DC fridge in the garage and the other for the RV. But thinking this out more that doesnt make much sense so I should...

My system at camp is currently 24v 420aH FLA batteries and I want to move to LiFePO4 next year but I am stuck in selecting where and what to purchase. I would like to stick to 12v in the event I change the batteries or go back to 12v inverter, I can reuse the batteries or sell them easily, 24v...

If the generator is on straight to the camp and I turn the ac on it works. If it’s on feeding the inverter in bypass/charge mode, that’s when the inverter trips. I tired to turn off eco mode too, same results. The generator doesn’t trip or anything, it’s the inverter that goes into overload for...

I have an Aims 24v 3000w inverter charger with a 420ah battery bank. Everything works great either in inverter mode or when the inverter is in charge/bypass mode with my Yamaha 3000efi inverter generator. When I use my air conditioning unit (it has a hard start kit) in inverter mode the...

ok I see what you mean. I really don't want to mess with the existing rv electrical and I will never be somewhere that I can get electricity as we park and leave our rv on our lot and don't have electricity available to us. This is why I would like to be able to plug the existing shore cord to...

Sorry I am not following what you mean? I am connecting the generator to the inverter AC input and then the inverter ac output to the camper shore power cord. Is that correct?

Took a quick look at the Yamaha generator and I believe this means that it does have breaker protection Overload indicator light The overload indicator light 1 comes on when an overload of a connected electrical device is detected, the inverter control unit overheats, or the AC output voltage...

First of all thank you again for all the help Jim. I took the time to read the manuals and draw what my setup will look like from what I understand. Let me know what you think and if there should be changes. Here are a few of my questions i currently have. Why is the manual asking for a 300a...

I can for sure crimp my own if I need to. Do you have any recommendation for hydraulic crimpers and ends? Looking at amazon I can see many of them that crimp in a hexagon shape, are those correct?

Ok I totally missed the info in the inverter manual about fuse, breaker and wire size, thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I want to be able to connect my trailer plug to the inverter and my Yamaha EF3000 generator to the inverter to bypass when needed, is this possible? I would...
