Yayyyy he finally have it I have 3 separate battery banks connected to my one Victron Smart Shunt & I love it Pappa it works with any inverter charger not just victron
Thanks, I will have e to try that down the road.
Also That red wire goes to the positive bus bar where both my inverters meet up it measures both inverters on the bus through the cables headed to my 3 battery banks
@diysolaradventures7894 Thanks, I appreciate your input, very helpful.
@@diy-solar-guy ur welcome
Your discharge floor setting should be 10% or 0% 0% will give you the full range reading of ur battery real state of charge of your battery 10% will leave 10% in your battery at zero 50% on lithium batteries is way to high put it at zero or 10%
I just watched this video again a lot of people don't understand that you have to set the state of charge yourself where it says manually set the state of charge it doesn't work by picking up the state of charge most people just wait until they know their batteries are 100% full and then set the state of charge to 100%
@@diysolaradventures7894 you are correct. You have to program the Victron. But even when I fully charge my battery and sync to 100 percent, the Victron within 24 hours will not be accurate. There are times I discharge my battery bank to 30 percent and then while at 50 percent charging the next day when solar is charging, the Victron will say my battery bank is at 100 percent. Not sure if that is happening with you? Let me know.
@diy-solar-guy no because I leave the sync off and manually set it to 100% once I know for a fact the batteries are fully charged I never use the sync to 100% and it started reading more accurately by leaving the sync off
Hey thanks for that tip. I appreciate it.
@@diy-solar-guy you're welcome I've been using it for a year now and it's right on point even if it's off by a little bit when full put it back to 100%
What I did was waited until I know my batteries was 100% full then I set my state of charge to full but the state of charge don't move real fast just because you're using a lot of power you can still be at 100%
Thanks so much for your input. I will try that. Hope you have a truly blessed day
Still waiting for the vid on the rv mini split install. I have a 5th wheel and looking to add one. Are the walls strong enough to hold the inside unit?
I installed mini in the back where there were cabinets. I took doors off and cut a piece of 3/4 in plywood to place inside cabinet. Then secured plywood to cabinet face with screws. Then I mounted the plate on front of cabinet face making sure screws went through to plywood. Very study and secure. We really did not use the storage with doors since it was over the bed. We have plenty of other storage. You can see what it looks like in one or two of my videos on motor home mini split install. I did not want to screw into the walls since I don’t know if there is plumbing or electrical behind wall.
@@diy-solar-guyok I’m looking to hopefully install it over my entry door. Is the inside unit heavy? Also did you have to drill through the rv to get the hoses to the outside. Also any links for affordable solar panels. Looking at the 24k btu unit and says I need 2k worth of solar to power it. Thanks in advance
@brianpino7274 I drilled a hole on back of motor home about 18 inches above bottom of bumper. Drilling at an angle from inside pointing down so water will not drip in. I’m buying my solar panels from Signature Solar. Not sure what size you would need, that would depend on space availability on roof. Need to make sure you leave enough room from top of inside unit to ceiling otherwise if you don’t, you will starve unit of fresh air.
@@diy-solar-guy it’s a full size 5th wheel. So it’s ~42 feet so have a good amount of roof space. Just not sure what size solar panels to get. I believe it should be enough space. ~2-3 feet from the top of the door to the ceiling closer to 2 foot clearance. My unit isn’t really mobile but also don’t want it looking trashy due to it being in an rv park
@@brianpino7274 sounds good
You have just plugged it in it has no idea what the correct soc is yet so it says 100%.
You are correct. It will take some time using this to figure out how it all works.
