Hi all, I'm fairly certain this is a stupid question, but I can't find an answer online....
Question: will it work to have a Fuse Block connect all the power output and input, and then have a single negative and positive connection to my battery bank? Will the fuse block be able to allow the battery to accept power input from solar as well as power output from the inverter? Or am I thinking about this the complete wrong way, and if total power draw from the inverter is greater than any power input the electrons from Solar AND Battery flow to the inverter? I feel like this is a grade school question....
Additional Question on Battery Monitor: I want to install a Victron BMV 712. Will it work to install the smart shunt on the negative line from Battery Bank to Fuse Block? From what I can read, this will work but figured I'd ask here in case anyone has experience with this.
Setup: Two 100Ah LiFeP04 batteries, short 2 AWG cables from the battery bank to the Fuse Block. Fuse Block has everything plugged into it, both input and output, such as solar input (from a Victron MPPT controller), DC to DC charger input (also from a Victron DC Charger controller), and a few outputs including an inverter. The Fuse Block is a Blue Sea Systems SafetyHub, and accepts a few low amp blade fuse, and it accepts a few high amp fuses.
