I would rather size wire based on battery sizing not shunt sizing. With that said, what is to stop me from getting a 500a shunt? Thanks for the feedback! Z Zil Solar Addict Joined May 27, 2020 Messages 1,833 Sep 10, 2020 #4 Wire size is dependent on Use a ...
You see the 4 gauge wire on the screw post, that is coming in from the second battery below. So @MrHappy are you saying that I disconnect the BIG negative cable off that post, and then "add a new short one between the shunt and the batteries". So I take a 4 ...
Since the shunt needs to be installed indoors, a cable from the shunt to the battery negative is typically how it is done. The wire gauge should be at least as big as the wire to the inverter ( = the big fat one ). Bob 07-14-2022, 01:42 PM #4 steilkurve Rivet Master ...
A shunt measures the flow of power in both directions, and tells you the exact battery condition at any given time 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 …
I have a question about the victron smart shunt and proper placement of charge controller negative battery wire. 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...

This is a good picture: View attachment 33646 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. In my case the were 4/0 to 5/16" lugs. Put the ...
To balance your batts you need to have the +ve wire at one batt and the -ve at the other. Both for loads and charging. The chassis earths replace the -ve wires, but when you do that you need to be careful where you place the shunt. It must go between the batt
Welcome to the electrifying world of electrical shunts! If you''ve ever wondered about voltage regulation in electronic systems or how it''s achieved, then you''re in for a shockingly interesting ride. In this blog post, we''ll be taking a closer look at one specific type of shunt - the 12v shunt - and unraveling its mysteries.
Moving the voltage sensor wire away from possibly interference was the first port of call but before I could get to it the monitor ran ''flat'' (13.76v still in the battery). Now I can''t get the monitor screen to turn on again. I''ve tried disconnecting the feed wire, the shunt
After plugging in the smart shunt (correctly… I''ve done many) it works normally and adjust settings. Then within an hour or so it disappears altogether! Tried unplugging and …
A battery monitor is an essential tool that helps you keep track of how much power your battery has left. With an RV battery monitor, you can easily monitor the condition of your battery to prevent damage caused by over-discharging. …

So after replacing this module I had the same errors, my problem ended up being the green/yellow wire being broken (somewhere) between BCM, this battery module and the alternator. I ended up rewiring all, and fitted a new …
I''m trying to wire up my system and I thought I had it figured out until I tried to integrate a shunt with battery monitor. So this is probably a couple of questions. I have attached two diagrams. ''A'' is what I was originally planning to …
Battery monitors rely on shunt measurements to provide real-time data and alerts, helping users optimize battery usage and prolong battery life. In conclusion, shunts play a central role in electrical systems, enabling …
@Anders Yeh, in this new scenario you''d need to relocate the shunt directly off the -ve terminal of Batt#1, before it hits ''earth''. As you''ve read, and thankfully absorbed. At least the data wire(s) from the shunt only need to be something smaller, if you want that to go
Myself and I bet nearly everyone else use the Victron shunt to track battery SOC. That tells me how much power is left in the batteries. When the SCCs are pumping 75 amps into a 80 amp load for the inverter, my Shunt will read 5 amps negative and will tell ...

Then the shunt goes between that buss bar and the battery. Connect a wire or bolt the shunt direct to the buss bar and then a wire to the battery negative, which should be the only one going there. Hope that helps. Check out wiring unlimited for help with cable 2 ...
I''ve just bought a battery monitor BMV 700. The wiring diagram shows that the shunt should be connected between the battery negative and system ground. I wonder why this is. The only reason I could imagine is when using a wrench to tighten the bolts the tool can ...
I would never advice to put the starter battery on the same shunt unless you''d just want to use the BMV to measure total current. 1 Like 1 · mercu1 answered · Jul 23, 2021 at 02:18 PM Everyone is missing the point here. The question here is "why This is the ...
