FYI. Your BMV712 should have a VE Direct comm port. If so, the VE Direct smart dongle ($50) should increase your Bluetooth range. I added the dongle to my smart shunt and increased the range by 50+ feet.

FYI. I installed a Victron VE Direct Smart Dongle ($50) on my Victron Smart Shunt and increased the Bluetooth range by 50 feet.

Thank you, I was concerned about the heat as well as the possibility of the unit getting wet.

Maybe it’s my iPhone. I’ll try my iPad.

Thanks. I do have the Victron smart shunt installed at the house battery location, works well, except the Bluetooth range not great, sometimes the driver seat is out of range.

Thank you for your reply. According to reviews on Amazon, the unit runs very hot. but Reliable reviews are not always available there. Some concern about a dry environment under the hood, though. My power requirements are minimal, main goal is to power a 40w 12 VDC refrigerator while driving...

I currently have a battery separator model 1315-200 mounted on the firewall on my 2013 Roadtrek Ranger, that is defective. As I intend to replace my 100ah AGM house battery with a lithium in the future, I want to install a Victron smart DC to DC 12/12v non isolated charger where the separator is...

I have three 100w, series connected, solar panels on my van. The wiring connections on the roof are difficult to access without panel removal. I want to be able to charge my Jackery 500 from the solar but know the 65 volt PV output is too high to plug in directly to the J 500. (It’s 30v, 3.5a...

Update.... tested the Jackery 500 with the Resmed Airsense 10. First some observations relative to power draw. Using AC plug: AC on, AS10 off : J500 draws 11watts (inverter on) AS 10 on, Humidity at level 5, Temp 80 f, = 28 - 32 w AS 10 on...

Thanks for the info. I have a Resmed Airsense 10 and have a J 500 on order for an upcoming camping trip. Great to have someone confirm my calculations that the 500 with work for me. Thanks again JettyD. For future use of others, I purchased the KFD car charger DC adapter (12VDC to 24VDC)...

FYI. I turned the TV ant around (see pic) and saw power from the panels increase from 70 - 85 watts to 140 -158 watts. Nice improvement, but would like to have gotten more off my 300w array on a mid day, full sun in Fla. (Note pic was taken later after some clouds had moved in.) thanks.

Thanks Bob and Fred, my concern was the shading on solar performance. The TV antenna works fine. The installer was the solar system installer at a dealership. I do intend to relocate the antenna when I have full sun conditions, to note the effect. Some YouTubers have said wattage can be reduced...

I have an RV with 3 100w panels that are wired in series. When the solar was installed a few years ago the tech re mounted the Over the air TV antenna on one panel causing some partial panel blockage. See pic. I get about 60V off the panels when not connected to Charge controller. Before I...
