Added a Victron 500a smart shunt to the system today. Bought a cheap second hand android tab to monitor indoors. Wanting to know what the draw is really and if the inverter charger kicks in too soon or whenever to see if we are missing something or need more storage or what now we have added the...

Ok I had to visually mirror image this a bit, top to bottom but I think I have done it. Numbers can loosely be seen on the batteries.

Thank you! And I’m noting 400amp because of input and output added together, is that right?

E please could I trouble you to conceptually draw the set up with the bus bar, charging and loads on the set up. Many thanks. I’ll then have an idea of what I need and where it needs to go!

I think the nobs on the front set are fake as they are all same make and model SLA. gosh that looks a lot simpler than the plan I followed to get 24v and double capacity! so if the loads go on there, where do the charging points go, on the same connection or the other one?

Not 100% sure but working on an estimate of about 2000wh all 4. The inverter will also pass through and charge the batteries when required for the winter. Sucking up the offset of grid charging for now and will look again at upgrading the batteries and inverter when these SLA batteries give up...

Well, I blew up the 500w inverter not totally sure how lol so when looking at the washing machine which uses 0.8ah on an eco cycle, 1900w but drawers a big surge when spinning. This 3000w 24v inverter has capacity for 900w surge, just needed to swap the breaker to 180a. The other thing, because...

Really pleased how easy it all went today. Thanks for your help all. I used 35mm cable for the earthing rod but had to separate into two to get it on the earthing bus bar. Will this be ok? the two MPPT controllers are set at the same settings apart from the smaller 40a one I have zeroed the...

Thanks Mattb4. I had also forgotten to include a breaker between the battery and the inverter of 180A! Question. Can the charge controllers go from their respective fuses straight to the battery on a separate bolt or should they be combined on a busbar so only one cable is going to the battery...

Hello all, thankful to have found this forum! A bit of background, originally had done solar on RVs and wanted to carry that through to power the garden pond and garden lights. That worked, and then included the washing machine and now looking to add the fridge and freezers on. I get there are...
