another thing I noticed is the range of the Bluetooth on these devices are good other than the shunt. that range is short .

Thanks for the input i did read samething on the Victron website that your quoted, about the sync, charging but that is one thing I wanted to do, but the main thing besides configuring it is the low charging temp set point, it needs to see the temperature displaced by the smart shut ..

Hello all , I have a question about the Victron Bluetooth dongle. So right now my system has 2x Victron 100/30 charge controllers 1- 75/10 charge controller, 1-BP ( dumb one no Bluetooth ) 1- smart shunt. these are all the smart blue models with blue tooth, I do not have a central "hub" like a...

How long have you had it ? I've been looking for good victron alternatives

No your right . The higher voltage you can do on your battery and inverter end the better. I got half way through my build before I realized how big I was going to go. But all my other projects are 48 volt and I'm much happier with it

funny Renogy Rover doesn't have one in the 70 amp range , its either 60 or 100. and for the price of the 100 I can get the Victron 70 , only reason I say this is if I go with Victron it will match the rest of my system, other wise I was looking at the Rover

i have these same panels and here in Colorado and cold temps I'm seeing over 250 watts , but per my math, I am ordering a victron 150/70 . I just today put 4 more of these on my RV .

i have 4 more going on my RV and per the output, I'm seeing I am over what a victron 150/60 can handle, I'm having to order s 150/70 ( ouch $)

I have these same panels and i have bought many ( like 75 ish ) from SanTan, they all have put out overrated capacity even though SanTan only guarantees 80% , Now Im in Colorado and we have very high UV and cold temps right now, so this maybe be why the high performance I'm seeing

yes oops. should be 3.40 , 3.39 , 3.39 , 3.38 . Is the resolution on my meter good enough meaning do I need to use one that goes 3 dec points?

great info thanks

So the #s on the battery i just post that where out a little will be worse closer to 100 soc? So should I check it again next time its charged ?

I've been wrong before LOL , and admit I'm not an expert on this particular SOC vs voltage of a cell. And will have to concede to you all being right. so I need to force it up to 100 SOC battery cut off to check the balance? I've watched videos of people using cell balancers and they show it...

I went to school in FLA but 100%-4% = 96% ? or did I miss something? Yes I started the test when the Victron said 100% , disconnect from rest of battery bank and started to pull down If I did I might have not explained myself well enough. I meant did not reach full capacity without going below...

So I was closer to 5% short of full capacity? Maybe this is normal Im just not used to testing these batteries I have 5 100 AH batteries , 1 name brand and 4 off brand and they all pulled 100% plus after 1 year use... just saying

Also unless my math is wrong ( but I did go to school in Florida so maybe ) 4 % is what it says I was short but 4% of 300 ah = 12 ah short but I was 17 AH short at 283 AH... so I'm not sure what happened here. but it didn't reach 300 at 10.4 volts.

sunshine_eggo : "balance" refers to the state of charge, not voltage. Voltage correlates to balance in the upper leg I disagree, but admit I'm not an expert on this. meaning no matter where you are and it doesn't have to be the upper range all your cells should be close to the same, a balancer...

Hello, So I'll try and make this short as I can. I bought a cloud energy 300 AH battery and tested it from 100 SOC charged down to 4% SOC which was 10.5 volt cut off on my inverter using a Victron shunt to measure power out. I pulled 283 AH out. leaving me 17 AH short now I might have gotten...

Hello, a few questions here regarding the low voltage cut-off. I have searched this forum and it is discussed but not at the level I'm looking for. So my 1st issue/ question is my EG4 6500 Ex has a value to set low voltage cut off from 42-48 . the problem is my trophy battery at 48 volts are...

also, check this out, its a trailer so its consider a vehicle no code inspection... plugs in just like a generator ( this is just another example ) see picture. oh and it has a pass-through generator Ampster look a circuit connected to our house without adding it as affixed

WOW, are you kidding me you don't understand what I said? having something affixed to your property means attached to your house OR permit affixture to your land like cemented into the ground. The ground mount system that I posted a picture of in my post above showing an example was attached...

One thing to consider. If they are NOT affixed to your property then no permit or inspection would be required. Think of it as plugging in a off-grid portable generator ... they don't inspect that. now, how would you mount them where they are not considered affixed? 1) mount on the roof of a Sea...

Ya my growatt 8kw inverter made a LOUD pop the other day but it was warmer that day maybe 25 to 30 degs .

Dude if you read my post I did order it LOL that was my point on the whole back order after you buy it statement

Ya I let them know I wasn't really happy with the order process. Same as you show in stock, you buy it, pay for it then it shows backorder. From my experience normally doesn't take them too long to get more ( I had the same happen with an inverter, then it shipped the next week ) . But they...

HUH ? Someone has their panties in a bunch... I said there where a good company which they have been in my experience but lately their tech support has not been responsive. that doesn't at this point make them a bad company in my option so YA they can still be a good company that may or may not...

Yes, I agree, so far good company I have bought a few things from them. and testing this charger 24/7 for the last 5 months is still a good test. If they are really doing this I would agree if it were junk it probably would have failed by now , so still a good test. Although lately, I have been...

i use my generator 10 hours a week for the past 15 years, we on # 5 generator now. but we use it for pumping water , house is on solar and battery but need to pump up the 1500 gallon sistern water tank one or twice a week

we are on generator # 5

ya we've been off the grid for 15 years , but we don't run the generator 24/7 , in the winter a lot more than in summer. but Id say on average 10 hours a week, rough guess. so 7800 hours over 15 years = that 325 days ? no stop( well we stop but if you add it all up ) There test 24/7 for 5 months...

sorry correction vac drop out on mine is 65 volts, below this the inverter goes from charger to inverter mode and kicks off grid ( not back to grid ) I need this to be 85 ... but mine won't adjust

SO according to the manual the voltage cut out ( back to grid ) is 85 volts... mine is 65 and it will not adjust has anyone had this issue or know anything about it? ( VAC Dropout 85 VAC ) - out of manual

what a crock , Ive been running my generator for 12 years ( off and on of course ) , 1st off if its not in your house and its outside or in a out building its 1000% safe

Ya you only have 3 wires to worry about with that unit L1 ( hot ) N , & G . IF you had the split phase unit or two Eg4 6500,s then L2 would be red and goto 2nd inverter. I have the same unit as you.
