Best instructions I seen for configuration of this device... thanks. Just one question though... Are you sure the high setting is 15.2? IMHO l think it should be around 12.8. Reason being is to save confusion, the latest model changed parameters to Full and zero. A full battery never shows over about 13v. What you think?

Farted

Useless for what i was looking for but informative for those just getting it. Im trying to figure out the attenuation and why it keeps beeping like the capacity is low when it's not, even according to the monitor. Thumbs up and a comment for a good video nonetheless.

Do you know how to stop the battery from discharging ,when it reach 11.2. Voltage

Sir you are a saint. Thanks for the excellent and clear explination. Your video should be used by Renogy as their destructions supplied with the monitor aren't very good.

How do you know what to manually set as your bounds for voltage? Thanks!

By far the clearest explanation I have found, thank you. The manual that comes with the unit is worse than useless. If you follow the manual, it instructs you to drain the battery bank until it is dead before you can set the capacity. Clearly, that is not necessary.

Just what I was looking for. I just ordered this kit...coming tomorrow. Small point: I learned doing my own amateur videos to turn my phone camera to landscape (sideways). That way you take in a wider view which helps viewers stay oriented, and the waving around of the phone as you're trying to do everything single-handed isn't as noticeable.

Well Done!! Thank you.

Thanks. I could not figure out how to set the capacity after the battery was full. The Renogy instructions clearly say to press and hold the down arrow, I think that is a misprint, thanks to your video I learned to press and hold the up arrow, though even that did not work the first time and I had to do it a second time.

Thanks nice & simple, I learned.

Very confusing to watch

Thanks for going through this step by step.

I seem to be properly set up now. Except it is not calculating time remaining. Basically says 0. Now battery is fully charged, and is charging. Would that be why? Maybe when I’m drawing it down it will calculate? What do you think?

Thank you! The instruction booklet is very poor! And although Renogy keeps replying to my requests for help, they have provided nothing of value. You solved my problem in just over 4 min! Thank you!🙏

I have been unable to set the capacity below the default value of 100 Ah. Does anyone know if this is the way it works? I can set it to 100 Ah or greater, but it will not accept values below 100 Ah. At present, my sailboat house battery is a single, 81 Ah battery (since it currently only supports sailing instruments and lighting).

Thanks, this helped!

Good m an...I've just installed one of them and I'm in the tropics on a yacht and now I can set it up and then never ever look at the damned thing again. 😎😎

@thinklikeacoder I have a question. In the CAP section how do I know how many AH to put in. Is it for example I have 8 batterie that are 100ah each. I would 800AH in the CAP. Is that correct?

can barely hear anything 😬

Great presentation

Thanks so much for this video. Most other people on You Tube skipped over this step. I spent about an hour hooking up the monitor and about 3 hours trying to get the answers for this issue. Thank you again!

Thank you, good video!

noice

You're instructions worked perfectly with my Ali brand monitor which as far as I can see is an exact copy of the Renogy version.

Well explained helped me a lot.

Hello , what's your Spyder version? I'm on 5.1.1 and get input error

Hi There. Thank you for this educational video. I’m a newbie with this kind of stuff. So, if my question is not very smart, please forgive me. I have 2 100ah batteries connected in parallel, in total I have 200ah, 12v, do I need to set up my capacity to 200ah? Also, will this work exact same thing in reverse if I drain the battery completely and set the capacity AH to 0 percent?

Dude thanks for your video! For some reason I was having some major brain farts and did not get the whole inverter cable to shunt part! So thanks man! All the other videos I watched the guys were like, oh this part was easy and skipped it so I appreciate you taking the time

Why did you set the high voltage so high at 15.2? I assumed this would be the 100% state of charge figure for whatever battery you run. I'm having an issue where mine goes from 50 straight to 100% when I start charging. Wonder if the monitor sees the 14v which is above my set high number and instantly thinks its full. Might try bumping it up and doing another draw down and charge test

Just got one of these, should I set it to the actual battery capacity which is 100ah or the useable capacity which is approx 75ah?

The loading design is not solid bar ?? Because i see it dotted in my laptop .. the same from Dell .. altho I don't see it often because it boots within the time I can see the design but sometimes I see when I'm updating or tweaking system and it is definitely dotted

Thank you so much for this video it showed me a lot I appreciate it I'm about to get me a battery monitor for my 400 watt battery system 400 amp power system I should say

Thank you sir! That 3x4 booklet with the monitor was not good enough!

Where did you get the high and low voltages to enter. Thank you

Thank you. I' have the Lnex version of this and neither their nor renogy's documentation explained how to do this.

You probably know by now that the up and down arrows next to the Amp Hours shows the NET flow of energy into and out of the battery. If you have 200 watts of solar coming in and have the 100 watt fan on, it will show a flashing screen with up arrows indicating flow of charge into the battery. I like the Renogy 500 and enjoy watching my battery charge/discharge time meter change under various loads and solar charge conditions. For fun, here's my monitor showing some bigger numbers. Seems that I can only pull 2,000 watts for 3 hours 24 minutes. ua-cam.com/video/NYpczRYDFJQ/v-deo.html

What size wire did you run from the shunt to the neg on battery?

Wait a minute! Shouldn’t this renogy battery monitor automatically detects the voltage and amps of the battery you hooked up to?

I am glad to recommend a new battery monitor KG140F to everyone

You can learn about this year's new product KG140F, the color screen display is more beautiful, and it supports mobile Bluetooth control.

Fortunately to see your video, JUNTEK has launched the new KG140F. We look forward to your comments.

I’m not saying you have done something wrong but there is not enough emphasis in the instructions to make sure the battery /battery bank is charged to 100% before setting your battery monitor. The principle of the monitor is it is measuring flow in and out. It’s accuracy on SOC of battery depends on what you put in as the starting point of SOC of the battery.

How do you know if your battery capacity is at 100% if you don't already have a battery monitor hooked up?

Hi there I dont know if you can help me out here. I have the same monitor when I connect it to solar to charge the screen keeps on blinking on and off. when it is charged and I disconnect it it is fine the light it of I press the ok button the light turns on for a few seconds then goes off. It measures fine. it is just when I connect my solar it constantly blinks on and off. Cheers Bill

Shouldn't it be usable AH not capacity AH?

Hi, thanks for your video. The approximative 34:37 hours of autonomy is the result of 199 / 5.78. My question is : in another video your put the low voltage at 11.5 Volts, so once your battery state of charge will be down, lets say at 50% capacity, will the voltage also so go down around 11.5 for exemple, therefore is the time estimate be cut by 2? Thanks again

Thanks man. I couldn't figure out how to determine what was the high and low. .... awesome
