Thanks for the tip!

Hi, Please see the above subject. I am wanting to do some designs using Victron hardware but dont know where people are getting them from. Also, what software are people using for their layouts? Thanks!

Good point on the sparks, I’m not a big fan myself. I will likely uses a switch for a resettable breaker.

Thank you for all the input guys!!

Thanks for the reply! Sorry, I miss typed that. The SOK's would be two sets in series. Thanks again!!!

Hi, I have a few questions on the system. If I were to do the distributor-Lynx shunt - Lynx Power in, how would I disconnect power from the batteries to the system if I had to do some maintenance or what ever on the system? I am assuming I would need a resettable breaker or a battery switch...

Thank you for the additional information, it is very much appreciated! I’ll be more mindful to add all the details in future posts. Thanks everyone!

Thank you all for the reply’s. So, if I’m just looking to disconnect my batteries from the inverter, will a battery switch work for what I’m trying to do when there is no load?

I have 2 12 volt 200 amp hr lithium wired up for 24 volts. Looking for a disconnect from battery to inverter and thought a resettable breaker would be best as it’s an additional safety other than a battey disconnect switch.

Hello all, I am looking at pulling the trigger on the below breaker going from my battery to inverter. Does anyone have a more economical source for quality breakers than below or is it what it is? Looking to go with a high quality name brand breaker. Thanks...

Thanks!

Question, suppose he was wiring both batteries in series for 24 volts. Would he place a fuse on both positive terminals of the batteries? Even though the 2nd battery was connected to the 1st batteries negative?

Thanks for confirming my thinking!

I have a terminal fuse im planning on installing on y positive battery terminal. I also have a battery isolation switch from the charge controller to the battery. Can I simply kill power coming to the charge controller, turn the battery isolation switch off from the charge controller to the...

Hello, I have two small systems I have built and need to add some fuses. One system is 12v and the other is 24 volt. I will be using terminal fuses for both systems, and wanted to know is it okay if I use 58v fuses for both systems even though they are 12v & 24v? I will properly size the...

Hello all, I’ve been running the above unit for the past two months with zero issues. Three days ago, I hooked up their D050S, which allows you to hook up an addition 500 watts under 60v and charges via the wall outlet input. Well, since then, the unit, being turned off and everything...

Thanks everyone!

If I only needed M/FF but purchased the M/FFFF could I leave the other two connectors unused and be okay? Or should all 4 need to be used? Thanks!

Hi folks, I am looking for a source to purchase the below Y branch connectors, but am needing something preferable 2- 3 feet long. Does anyone have a vendor they could point me to? Thanks!!! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0753X68PS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

I know that is a silly question, however, I can’t seem to find a diagram that I can understand. This will be without a bus bars. If someone can also include the main leads going to the inverter, that would’ve helpful. I keep thinking the wiring of positive to negative, but, I think that is for...

Thanks for the reply and suggestion pollenface. Follow up questions, those blue sea cube fuses say max voltage 58 volts, assuming since I have 24 volt system it is a nonissue? Do you happen to have a diagram depicting a relay prior to the charge controller? Not sure if I’ve ever seen that type...

Hello, I have a Victron 150/35 charging up two Ampere Time 12v 200Ah batteries connected in series for 24 volt system. The inverter is a 3000 watt Giandel unit and I’m pushing close to 1,000 watts from my array. So my questions are: 1. Are there any issues with using the bolt on fuse below? I...

Hello all, I recently ordered the Victron Lynx Distributor and need a source to purchase the copper bar adaptors for my shunt and battery disconnect. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?Thanks!

Thanks for the link! I picked up 10 of the 325 watt Canadian Solar panels this week.

Question for you. Is it okay to leave the charge controller mounted in a horizontal position (flat and laying down as in the picture) as compared to a vertical position? I thought I read somewhere that it should be mounted upright to allow heat dissipation?.

As the subject states, I’m looking for a local source for about 3k watts of panels for a small off grid project. i have flexibility with the panel specs. Thank you!

Hello Jimmy! I too am in Central Cali. This is a great place to learn.
