sketchy US neighborhoods are bad. But go to a sketchy El Paso neighborhood then cross the border to a Ciudad Juarez neighborhood and you'll find a whole new meaning of the word sketchy. so, you actually drove from north of the Panama Canal to Columbia, via the Darian Gap where there are no...

I'm 70, (overweight) fat and diabetic. I will not be "jabbed" with experimental chems. I have a prescription for prophylaxis Ivermectin from a physician I found Medicare Part D pays for the Ivermectin, btw.

I will provide 4 measurements at the same charging voltage and amperage as set by Victron and reported by VictronConnect. Victron V and A as seen by VictronConnect. V and A as measured by VOM at the Victron terminals. V and A as seen by the Battery Monitor and V and A at the battery terminals as...

Ok. VictronConnect app reports bulk charge at 13.96V at 90A. Victron Battery connections to 2/0 cable report 13.85V 2/0 cable connect battery terminals reports 13.65V Battery monitor reports 13.35V at 75A. Thank you for your support.

Please to watch out for common bandits and both communist and fascist revolutionaries. what you are doing is not safe.

no other smart device. the batteries are 4 170ah renogy's. ok, so the charge is originating at the inverter charger and drop, drop dropping on it's way to the batteries. Then no harm may occur while charging these batteries to an absorption voltage of 14.6V as seen from the Victron. However if...

this is interesting

there is no float as the charger is turned off after float is reached. However the tech sheet/manual from Renogy says absorb to 14.6. In the warmer weather I was absorbing to 14.2 and floating as the charger wasn't turned off and I was either on shore power or solar (set to 14.2 as well).

Using a 12/3000/120-50 and its Conditional AC Input: During daylight hours, I operate a 8000 btu portable AC (and the RV's "house", 2 reefers, 1 54l chest freezer, 12V lights, PC) on a combination of 1600 watts of solar and 680aH (12V) of LiFePo4 while plugged into shore power (50A), which...

My 500A Battery Monitor With Shunt reads .5V lower than the Victron. Currently I am charging at 90A, 13.83V at 20C so sayeth Victron. While the Shunt is reporting 13.3V at 75A. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over? Of course the Shunt is directly connected to the battery bank, I have to open the...

add two slices of bacon, sill warm from cooking. bon appétit

If I read across the battery terminals the DC V reading agrees with the Battery Monitor. I am old, fat and frail, it will take an unknown time for me to access the Victron. I shall return. thank you both.

How not to make your way through life. Do not try this at home. Bear in mind I'm in a mid latitude desert and the suns shines 95% of the time during daylight hours. I know my system is insufficient for what I'm using it for. You go to war with the army you have. 1200 watts of renogy eclipse...

the worst covid is survived by 99.5% of those infected. I'll happily take my chances.

your maths are wrong. the 1/2 of 1% you cite is for each single instance of driving. the 1/2 of 1% I cite is for each instance of contracting an infection. I'll be fine and you'll be full of god knows what misshapen proteins from an anti-viral with an abysmal record..

The Victron Connect app is the app. Ethernet from Victron to ethernet adapter to USB on PC. the Battery monitor is the 500A unit sold by Renogy. The positive lead for the monitor is direct connect to the nearest battery. Note, now that we're getting close to float at 14.6V @ <10 amps reported...
