This video will teach you how to easily add 1-2 fused spaces to the Victron Lynx Distributor fused busbar system. If you need to add 3-4 spaces, consider simply adding a second Lynx Distributor as they can be natively bolted together.

Question: I have a 2016 Ford Transit, Mid-Roof, 250, V6 Gasoline engine. I believe it has a 150 Amp Alternator. I want to add alternator charging for my house battery’s. Do I need a larger Alternator to charge 2 each 100 amp Battleborn Lithium batteries? Does Ford have to change software if I go to an additional alternator? Do you have documentation on this topic? Thanks Nate…..great channel!

Good morning Nate. Can you use this method (using the extended copper bar) for attachment of the chassis ground? Your diagrams show it coming in from the other side. If many of the Victron components need chassis grounds, it seems logical to tie them in like you did at the end of this video...

Two questions: 1. Are terminal fuses used instead of or in place of the mega fuses? 2. I am planning to add a double fuse extender to accommodate my ac unit. But I was already using the last stud on the right of the lynx for the positive wire connected to the bmv. Can I keep that bmv wire connected to the last terminal while using the last terminal to also connect the double fuse terminal?

Hi,this is an amazing hack. As I already have connections on this 5th set of terminals for the lights on the distributor, can I still add another earth to this terminal or should I use your copper lynx adapter to act as an additional earth when I create an additional positive connection after following this video. The additional connection would be for a 2nd solar array which will consist of 2x 90w panels going to a smart charge controller 75 15 Any guidance would be greatly appreciated

So I'm upgrading my 2008 Tiffin Motorhome to Lithium and doing it in phases. Currently I am getting ready to install 3 new 195 Watt Bifacial Solar Panels on the roof of the motorhome, then going through a Victron Charge Controller and then off to the current flooded lead/acid cell batteries that are in a series/parallel configuration. In this motorhome, there are two 4/0 welding cables currently from the the batteries to the inverter/charger. And a second set of 4/0 cables from the batteries to a pure sine inverter near the original inverter/charger. All 4 of these cables are 25 feet 6 inches long. There is no room near the battery bank to put Victron Multiplus 12/3000 120-50 2x120V down the road so it will need to go near the location of the current inverter/charger. How do you recommend I connect the Charge Controller power to the batteries, I'm thinking of going back through one of the pairs of 4/0 cable.

one of the benefits of using the lynx distributor is that it can communicate to the cerbo and tell us if a fuse is blown. with this extension, do we lose that information or is it combined with a different port?
@EXPLORISTlife

You would lose that info. You'd want to add another Lynx Distributor to keep that info. For anybody else reading this... you only get the blown info on the Cerbo when the Lynx Distributor is paired with the Lynx Smart BMS.

What perfect timing!!! I'm using one of your diagrams for my new camper van and had the same situation when I decided to add a 12V DC Air Conditioner. I'd just use a Lynx distributor but for space constraints. Thanks for being considerate of all the various 'van/RV' factors such as space, budget etc. That's what makes your channel so relevant and useful to so many. When I came to this dilemma, I decided to use a Class T fuse for my battery bank main fuse so I repurposed the former main system ANL fuse with a self made, two hole, copper bar using your instructions to connect the A/C's ANL fuse between the On/Off switch and the Lynx on the power 'in' side. I didn't think about using the "exit" lugs on the Lynx. Do you have any thoughts on one end being better than the other? The MBRF compactness may also just be best for my space. Anyhow, now back out to the work bench to see which layout fits best in my 'power center' as it's just about to get wired up next week. Thank you - so very helpful!
@EXPLORISTlife

The MRBF fuse holder decreases overall connections than an external fuse holder with a jumper wire but if I'm understanding what you did properly, what you did sounds fine too, just a bit more bulky, perhaps.

Dear Nate, It is said that battery banks perform best, when all the cables are the same length.

Why not drill a hole in the middle of the top (positive) bar to make an extra fused space? Yes, some will say I'm cheap (true), but this is a high quality piece of hardware that I suspect can handle the extra capacity. I'd honestly like to know a good reason why not. Making additional holes in the plastic would be easy. I'm assuming the ability to make good holes. Thanks.
@EXPLORISTlife
@EXPLORISTlife Год назад
The molded plastic piece under the positive busbar is missing the space for an additional fused space. Although a good idea... that would take a LOT of modification and I'm not sure it would physically fit another fuse.

It takes the place of 2x busbars and 4x fuse holders and the wires/lugs to mount them together, and is cheaper than separate fuse holders and busbars. More info: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-548aRhZMN-g.html

Cool, I didn't know that fuse method existed. A person might be inclined to use those fuses and just buy a copper bus bar and drill some holes in it. That way you wouldn't have to spend the big bucks on a lynx distributor. I have no idea how the dollars would actually calculate out though.
@EXPLORISTlife
@EXPLORISTlife Год назад
It would cost about the same or a little more to attach the fuses directly to high quality busbars as the Lynx Distributor. I've done that calculation in the past with ANL fuses and it was more expensive that way.

Well for bigger connection wire it’s much better to modify the plastic cover a bit. The purpose of the cover is to cover the connections so if you drop eg a screwdriver it’s not shortening. With your adapter you compromise that.

On my car (to relocate the battery to the trunk) I'm using a fuse holder like the one you're mentioning. It comes with an isolator washer you have to put on the top of the fuse, like you described. But in the video, it's a different type of fuse holder with a built in isolator at the bottom. The bolt is already isolated from the metal plate, so no need for an additional isolated washer on the top. If you look closely around 1:08 you can see it. I didn't know about this design in fact! Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

So if we’re dumb and using a 12v system but we want to run 2 3000kva victron multiplus2 inverters to power 3 air conditioners and charge a tesla from the battery bank, I could technically just put 2 4/0awg positive wires and 2 4/0awg negative wires running to both outter sides of the lynx bus bars and then put my 4/0awg wires that are fused from the middle and to the inverters battery inputs right?

It's not that easy. There's several areas in a 12V 6kVA system where you'll run into wire doubling issues including potentially needing to double wire sizes between batteries (math required), doubling switch capacity, fusing each conductor independantly, and more. There's a reason you don't see a 6kVA 12V system available in our store, and it's due to these system design problems.
