    I understand the importance of fusing wires but I am a little confused with my current setup. Overview: I am setting up a new lithium battery system in my RV. I have 2, 100AH batteries that feed into a Lynx distributer. I understand that fuses should go as close to the power source as...

    Do I need a larger battery monitor

    Happy New Years all I wanted to give you all an update. I ended up purchasing a victron smart shunt 500A. So the issue with the charge controller is no more. Also purchased a victron distributor, fuses, and 2/0 wire. This should make the process clean but costly. Along the way I ran into a...
