I have the 120 volt shore charger right now. I will be doing the solar in the spring. The 120 volt shore charger does not have it. I am in expert and custom profiles.

I got even more clever, the switch that turns the heaters on has 2 leds, one is internally connected to light up when the switch is on, the other has another terminal that I connected to the output of the thermostat. So when the switch is on its lite to let me know its on, the other led lights...

Know I know that from your reply early makes it easy when I get there. So thanks for that.

The relay is just a bosch relay the the thermostat is just a cheap 12 volt one from amazon. less than 10 bucks

Yes that meter. It was at the last charge, Now only after I did the charge the other day, when it stopped charging I set it back to 100%, and per the meter it only drained to 66% charged per the meter from the batteries when the inverter went in to low volt beeping. the voltage measured at the...

I just read the whole thread. I have 2 - 12 watt bee hive warmers under 2 - 60 amp lfp batteries. I also have one of the cheap amazon thermostats with the sensor between the batteries. I also have a 12 volt bosch relay shutting off the charging current when the heaters are on. My temps are set...

Yes its just inline with the output of the charger. Funny thing is when I disconnect the batteries the charger according to the blue tooth just sits thinking the battery is at 13.6 volts with zero amps going out. I thought about diverting the charge current to the heaters but the one time I...

Thanks I did not know the scc had that as an option. Its also not in the manual.

I know the shore power does not. edit I just confirmed it has temp comp not shut off.

The victron 75/15 blue tooth, but that will be in the spring. Edit see my edit above

I am newish here, had an issue not sure what it was, but I am here now. I am building a teardrop camper using 2 of the amp outdoors 60 ah lifepo4 batteries I saw here. To prevent them charging when its cold I bought one of the cheap 12 volt thermostats and wired it to 2 12 volt bee hive heating...

its the ip67 smart charger. it plugs in to 120 volts. Sorry a boat term. https://www.victronenergy.com/chargers/blue-smart-ip65-charger

No self regulating heat trace gets way to hot, even when its "self" regulating. Like temps over 100 degrees F. They say it wont get that hot, but they really mean when it attached to something like a pipe. Master electrician here, I have installed miles of the stuff.

On my tear drop I plan on using a very strong adhesive to glue down a frame to mount the panels to. 3m 5200 in the boat world is considered too permanent, it bonds to the gel coat better than the gel coat bonds to the fiber glass, IE if you tried to rip it off to will damage the fiber glass...

I installed anderson connectors on my batteries, very easy to disconnect and not stress the screws.

Okay per a thread here I bought two of the amped outdoors 60 amp hour batteries. I bought one, then another after a few weeks, they are mounted in my camper ( large teardrop ). Being charged via a victron 110 v charger using will's settings. I tested the one battery when I first got is and it...

My off road camper has 2 - 60 amp lifepo4 batteries, both connected with anderson plugs for easy removal/disconnection. I should be able to run for days with no charging. I plan on a 100 watt hard panel on a removable mount to I can place it out in the sun if needed. I have them mounted inside...

Okay first the system is in a large teardrop so its mobile. I have 2 - 60 amp lifepo4 batteries and a victron shore power charger. Right now I have a switch on the power bank that activates a thermostat that controls 2 - 12 watt bee hive heater pads under the batteries, and a relay that...
