Thanks for explaining explicitly what goes into the P- of the shunt. Been trying to figure that out now for hours. Wasn't explained in any other video. The negative of the system. Understood now. Will try it out tomorrow.
I'm trying to decide on the 'monitor' to use for my Bioenno 30ah Lithium Iron Phosphate battery for my ham radio. I found your video while using Powerwerx BSM-500 as a search phrase.
Hi, I have two batteries, Basen Green 11.7kWh 51.2V (BG) and Ecoflow Delta pro 48V 3.6kWh with inverter (DP). With BG full DP. With the DP application, it is not possible to set the BG not to completely empty! What could I put between the batteries so that I can set a voltage limit at which the charging will stop and thus prevent the BG from being completely discharged? Is some Battery Monitor OK??
wow happy i just found this video. i was about to connect the exact same victron shunt to two power queen batteries in parallel without knowing they needed to be fully charged. i think i missed a step. the systems positive cable goes to inverter? not sure where that cable came from.
What if you have 2 100ah batteries in parallel. You install the shunt on the front negative term. Then you install an inverter on the back negative and positive terminals. Will it still read the battery properly?
2:05 I think its not possible to get shocked with a 12V battery right? Because V=IR and skin is 10000ohms then max current is around 1mA which is not even perceptible.
unless your hands are wet, and you're doing something stupid, you will not be shocked by a low voltage DC battery.... also, how sad is it to see, a single incandescent globe along with the inefficiency of a big inverter rendering your big expensive 100Ah lithium battery/inverter system useless in about 24 hours!!!
Yes, incandescent bulbs are horribly inefficient. I just used one in this video to drain the battery quicker since it would've taken a while with an LED bulb.
