Thank you for your reply I will do that

I bought one gauge and 4 gauge wire from Amazon The wire that will suggests I'm looking for a chart that I can use so I know what amperage mega fuse to use.

I'm not an owner operator so I can't put panels on the truck but I can put the panels in the truck and set them out before I go to sleep but it won't really need those at first. The company I work for puts a 2000 W inverter in some of their trucks I could plug in 100 amps or more worth of...

I've seen will on his videos talk highly of two inverters. Growatt and MPP Solar. I'm curious to see what inverters you guys have used and how reliable they have been. I am a commercial driver and looking to put together some lithium batteries with the right inverter of quality. Personally I...

This system powers my cooler and CPAP machine when the commercial vehicle is not running then the inverter (powering the Lifepo4 charger) in the truck charges the Batterys while I drive.

Got one installed today. Thank you

Got a main fuse installed today that was a rookie move on my part WOW. Thank you

Yes that was a rookie move I had a fuse so I installed it today. Thank you

The paper is temporary the bottom of the shunt isn't flat I'll be gluing a price of plastic under it for more surface area for the double sided tape

I have two 12 volt 100 amp batteries wired to double the amperage. I really definitely like the victron smartshunt easy to wire up easy to program and easy to use. Not quite done still have to build a wooden box to make it easier when I move between commercial vehicles as well as mounting stuff...

Thank you for your posts. After watching the video posted here I realized I had forgotten that the lower capacity battery wind drained will draw from the higher capacity battery adding to the already draw from the system as well as any other issue I will definitely be sticking with same capacity...

I have decided to go with a 12 volt battery system consisting of lifepo4 batteries. I have a 12 volt 100 amp battleborn and saving money for a 12 volt sok battery and considering going with a 200 amp battery wired in parallel. Is it okay to have a battery with a larger capacity than the other...

Thank you for that information I appreciate it just got to see how much money I can get aside unless I can work this thing in 12 volts we shall see.

As long as the chemistry is the same, the voltage and capacity do you guys think it's okay to mix brands I typically don't like to do that but I have a battleborn 100 amp and I'd like to get an sok now because they're cheaper than battleborn I may be running them at 24 volts I'm just not sure if...

Sorry I should have put that in. Brand new the capacities about 3300 mAh. The few I have tested some of them are quite low some of them are not too bad. Ion the ones I tested I wrote the milliamps voltage and resistance on the cells.
