Those thick battery cables do not, and should not be bent into the sharp 90 degree angles in the pic.įor nothing else before the shunt, that means don’t put a load before it, and don’t put a battery fuse before it. Making thick cables for 5/16 posts takes up a lot more room than I expected compared to some of the 14 gauge wire with #10 lugs I’d crimped for fuse boxes before. One of my lessons learned is lug sizing and space. I did urchase a battery temp sensor which plugs into B1 B2. According to the diagrams it says proper connection to the shunt is only a single negative wire goes from shunt to battery and all negative load/charge wires go to the other side of the shunt. The one pictured is for a second battery system, IMO not necessary. I have a question about the victron smart shunt and proper placement of charge controller negative battery wire. The cable plugging into the shunt at B1 and B2 with a dotted line is an accessory, which is not needed. Plug the cable from the shunt to the battery monitor and THat is all you need to do to monitor a battery. Put the Pos supply cable in the shunt, and then attach the lug to the positive battery post. The Smart Shunt and Lynx Smart BMS are limited to 500 amps. It runs there for about 20 seconds at which point I hear the shunt. A new device is the Lynx Smart BMS which includes BMS control for Victron Lithium batteries, a main DC relay with soft start for protection or remote control, and shunt all in one package. Renogys smart lithium iron phosphate lifepo battery enables auto-balance among. I can't really find any information about a communication interface or something for example if I wanted to connect the system to my own raspberry pi.Please note how the current needs to flow through the shunt by basically cutting the thick cable out of the battery negative, crimping two lugs on the wire you just cut. The Smart Shunt is the least expensive unit but has no dedicated display or relay.
Renogy smart shunt install#
Data Module for Solar Charge Controllers Setup Install the Renogy 4G Data Module. Connect the shunt, calibrate the monitor, and program settings for accurate monitoring.
Renogy smart shunt how to#
The victron is seems allows for this with their IoT wifi setup using some kind of VE.bus thing and a wifi device (not sure about using a cable), and the renogy supports something as well. Renogy 500A Battery Monitor Setup In this video tutorial, learn how to install and operate the Renogy 500A Battery Monitor With Shunt. I'm most interested in the ability to gather data/analytics about the setup, either through a data port or some other means. Bewertung Name E-Mail Thema der Bewertung Kommentare Zur Wunschliste hinzufügen Neue Wunschliste erstellen RBM500-DE. DCC50S 12V 50A DC-DC On-Board Battery Charger with MPPT with Renogy ONE Core. Renogy 500A Batteriemonitor mit smart Shunt.
I'm looking for a solar charge controller and associated equipment that would allow for < 100W total of solar and connect it up to my car battery (AGM for now). 12V 100Ah Smart Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery w/ Self-Heating Function. The Renogy battery monitor is an excellent addition to any solar system and will eliminate the guesswork from battery usage.
Renogy smart shunt Bluetooth#
In conjunction with the shunt and battery monitor, I installed a 50 amp Renogy DCDC and Bluetooth dongle, and can see the battery voltage of both the starter and house battery, along with the charge going to both (as it back charges) and how much solar or alternator current is.
Both seem pretty decent but it seems like the renogy products might be a little less mainstream since I find more trouble getting information about them. A shunt measures the flow of power in both directions, and tells you the exact battery condition at any given time. Recommendation Victron BMV with a 500 ampere shunt. It doesnt effect the ampere unless it is too small and then it gets hot and could cause a fire. As the shunt is just a resistor in the negative line, it just needs be larger than your load. The Victron stuff really shines when you start adding other Victron stuff (like a mppt - you can send the voltage, temp and current from.
If you want a basic monitor go with the Victron BMV712 (but you will still use your phone). I've been doing research into which company's products I want to go with for my vehicle solar setup and am still torn right now. Seems the standards are 50, 100, and 500. The Victron Smartshunt does not have a monitor- you use Bluetooth (and probably your phone).
