    Which Victron Shunt?

    Nothing in my opinion the lower price wins. Sure if you do not mind spending the money. Neither will control. Done correctly will report battery voltage and temperature to the correct MPPT(s) over Bluetooth.

    Your FIRST mistake is to believe that this administration has ANY ethical fortitude at ALL.

    Victron Phoenix 12V/1200VA wattage

    The 12/1200 VA unit during testing with all 4 AWG and three 100 AH LFP. The Victron 30 amp charger connected with 6 AWG was able to run for over an hour at just over 1100 watts. My point being perhaps a voltage sag issue. What AH is the batteries BMS?

    Thanks but I had the inverter set to on.

    Testing PV's Amperage with Multimeter

    Wrong setting or blown fuse is the most likely cause. But you should see more like 21-24 open circuit.

    Victron 12/1200VA

    I installed it this morning and had some issues. The TV picture was horrible and the echo dot was cutting out during music play back. I pulled the fuse and installed a jumper direct to the 12 volts source. This solved the issue. I built a fused jumper to bypass the noisy 8-30 volt to 12 volts 3...

    Victron 12/1200VA

    Here is an update. I have converted the Echo dot, the Bose sound bar the router to 12 volts. I purchased the bits to convert the Starlink to 12 volts. This will sit behind the TV in the entertainment center.

    12v or 24v

    Well it works with the inverter I have so it is all good. But with that said it is clearly a con of sorts.....

    12v or 24v

    I just replaced my trailers that pulled 1550 watts to a GE unit claiming 700 watts. It pulls 1100 watts.........

    Roof Layout Suggestions on New Camper

    Do you have an awning? If so as an example I ran 4 THHN 6 AWG wire down the forward mount. ( behind the plastic cover ) into the forward pass though.

    Upgrade RV factory installed system

    OK Parallel panel wiring, trailer length 23' approx. so 28ish feet of 8 AWG cable. Say MPPT output of 14 volts say 25 amps through your 28' of 8 awg is a voltage drop of 7.80 % at the batteries is a voltage loss of 1.09 volts..... Let that soak in. In a small system it is important to be efficient

    FLA converter charging a LiFePO4 why does everyone say 80%?

    I agree with one caveat, Install a battery monitor that tracks volts/amps. This way you will know where you stand then add your "bits" as you can.

    FLA converter charging a LiFePO4 why does everyone say 80%?

    Yep Great idea but I use mine to command "coffee" in the morning so I don't have to get out of bed until coffee is ready. A true statement. Yep Yep As am I, before I went "blue" I ran a LK unit that the ElectroDacus controlled through the use of a SSR on the 120 side. I set it up as a power...

    “Mixed battery chems” or separate system

    I am from a different camp so to speak. I have been running a hybrid FLA/LFP system for about five years now. I would suggest that you leave your LFP bank connected to the charging sources and connect the loads to your FLA bank. The LFP will soak up the charge much faster then it could slow...

    Question on charging ego batteries with a solar generator

    The small EGO charger claims to be 325 watts and the larger ( faster ) charger is 550 watts. I would suggest a larger unit.

    Design of AGM & LiFePO4 / Solar system for my boat

    I agree, I have seen as an example the Ford power stroke running two batteries the battery that was connected directly to the starter always failed first. A Motor-home I purchased that the previously installed inverter wired ( works style ) That battery failed.

    Upgrade RV factory installed system

    This is the first thing that needs to go. A Quality MPPT would be in order. My suggestion would be a Victron. This will increase solar output on the panels you already have. If you boondock where shading is an issue I would suggest parallel wiring. As you build your solar add controllers as...

    Once in a while I disconnect the LFP bank and let the trailers converter do it's thing.

    Testing: Lead and lithium (LFP) battery banks in parallel

    Well I have been running a Costco CG2 FLA bank in conjunction with my LFP bank for 5 years now. Although when I started many said it should not be done...... It has worked great as among other things, load sharing under heavy load and UPS duties. Now that I have added 300 AH of LFP, I will...

    What Can I personally do to help against climate change?

    Genocide through non procreation. I thought that war and abortion was it..... Guess not...... Some people have a rather "dark" way of problem solving. Why not just heavily radiate the food and water supply?
