Thank you for the help. Now it looks like battery is not charging though solar monitor says it is actively charging. After checking the inverter with shore power and nothing tripped it seems to be battery related(?). None of the wires were hot (except the original extension cord, then the plug...

I will try the suggestion to plug into the inverter directly with a cord to see if that causes the same disconnect. Thanks for that suggestion.

I have ( 2) 100 Amp batteries in parallel with 2/0 wire to 250 fuse (re-settable). Then from the fuse to busbar to Inverter PSW 3k/6k with 250 amp fuse (resettable). We had disconnected the solar panels so system was running off the batteries only to use only the battery system with the...

Thanks for the response. The hot pot was directly plugged into outlet because we thought of the extension cord. Could it be the system got too warm after the first time then we did the heat gun with the extension cord, then the hot pot directly. (It was really hot here so that's why we tired the...

I apologize first off because I know that someone else had this question/problem also but I can't find the thread. I tried to deplete my battery (fully charged) to see how long I could run my space heater or a high watt appliance like my insta pot. I ran the heater (1100W) for 2 minutes and the...

Great! Thanks for all the help. I will try a heavy draw and see what happens.

Of course, that makes sense, now. It seemed like everything was working but was expecting a full readout. Thanks so much!

Also, with solar panels in series, the monitor shows maximum voltage output (it was a bit cloudy) and still not really showing any amp readings. Below are pics (sorry there is so much reflexion). I can take new pics if you can't make them out. Thanks.

Also, there is nothing in the load, only on the battery output. Thanks.

I am so new to this but have really appreciated everyone's help with previous questions. We finally tested our setup ( 400W in series, panels (4 x 100W), 40Amp MPPT charge controller, 3000W inverter, (2) 12V 100Ah lithium batteries. We set up our MT50 monitor with parameter settings suggested...

Next question about the battery charger: how do I know how much Amps on the charger?

Thank you for the link to Will's battery charger page. I missed this in all the watching and reading. I will check it out now.

We have seen one type of inverter/charger (Victron). Do you have any recommendations for this type of inverter/charger? We do have an inverter (pure sine 3000W). We were trying to avoid sending it back but if that is a better way to go then we would. We were hoping just to add the battery...

Thanks for the question. Yes, we have used the diagram and equipment recommended except there is no examples of how to connect shore power. We used the basic "Classic 400W solar blue print". We are unsure of the connections, and type of charger we could use with the lithium batteries to use if...
