@Just John would love to get the sturdier solar panels but our van roof will not support the weight (we looked into this quite extensively, and the two panel setup we want will work but it will be borderline safe). We need to first install a roof rack system and once we do that we'll look to...

Thank you all! This is very helpful. I did not know the two were not the same (BMS and battery monitor). Battery Monitor Setup - Knowing that each battery has a BMS, along with the BMV-712 - will my existing setup work just fine (i.e. shunt installed and the Victron BMV power cable wired to the...

Thanks MisterSandals! Great point indeed! I've been using the BlueSea wire and fuse charts so, point is to trust those. Do you have advice on what type of Fuse to use? The chart gives me what types I can use in terms of Amperage, but I'm not sure what is best in the case of a DC to DC charger.

Thank you both! I should have mentioned, the battery bank is 2x100Ah Lithium batteries, 12v, so your MRBF recommendation should work out. A few more questions for you all if that's alright: Should I fuse higher than 50A from DC Charger to Lithium Battery Bank? 50A MRBF you mentioned should be...
