Have a newly installed Victron Multiplus II and am awaiting delivery of some wire to rig a V-Sense cable for it. Unit appears to function just fine without it, and the battery BMSes showed a near perfect (0.034V delta) balance after things ran for awhile.
I hit the Victron Community and searched a bit and came across some concerns about the Multiplus electronics being fed via the V-Sense cable that was ever so slightly concerning. Other posts seemed to imply the V-Sense was important if I was every charging under a heavy load, due to voltage drop across the main battery cables.
Curious what this community thinks? Should I hook up the V-Sense cable or just let is pass? No biggie to do so, just curious if most feel its necessary.
Note my system is lightly loaded, peaking around 800W on my 12/3000/120 (normally around 350W), with the batteries only being used in power outage situations. I'd load level a bit, just for fun, but believe the minimum setting for shore power is 9.7A. I'd need to set it down to 5 or so to clip peek demand.
