Furrion Battery Monitor Presentation

- Based on the presentation given at the 2023 Grand Design National Rally, this video covers how the monitor is wired in a GDRV, the controls & display, calibration, and then an example of when a recalibration may be required.
Thank you for the presentation. I have a question, I have an imagine xls trailer. Do you think that the bundle of cable is merely zip tie behind the monitor or near the shunt? I would like to relocate the monitor to the interior of my cabin. Thanks again!
Yes, most likely. If it's in the typical location (water panel) then the cable should be easy to find.
Yes. My monitor is in the wet bay center...I have to keep sticking my head inside to view the monitor. I would like to move it into the bedroom or bathroom wall. Thanks again.
Incredibly helpful. Thank you very much’
So if we have 4 AGM 6V- 224ah batteries that are in a series. Do we set ah to 224 and set voltage to 24?
Yes. Four 6V batteries in series is the sum of their voltage. Since they are all the same, amperage is as stated.
Great presentation, thank you. I did have a couple of questions…
We recently purchased a 23 Reflection 341RDS and was researching a swap to lithium.
For a lithium upgrade I’m assuming the Furrion battery monitor would have to be replaced with a victron system since it would seem the Furrion is geared for lead acid or AGM and not prepared for the minute voltage drops seen in lithium during its use cycle?
Second, I’m also going to assume the data cable connectors for each brand are proprietary which would require a cable pull to swap out the display in the camper.
What is GDRV now using in place of the Furrion battery system?
Thanks again for the video. Good info in there.
No need to replace the Furrion (unless you want to upgrade). Just reprogram the Furrion to the new battery.
Yes, you'd have to replace everything (monitor, cable, and shunt).
What is GD putting in their units now? Nothing that replaces the Furrion. :(
I have two 77AH batteries and programmed the monitor to 144AH, was that correct?
Assuming the two batteries are wired in parallel, yes.
Yes, Thank You!@@howard6798
I have a 22 imagine 2600RB - my battery monitor is completely off.. and I can not figure out what wrong.. any ideas??
Sorry I missed this comment. If you're still having issues, come to gdrvowners.com (free technical website from GDRV) and post the issue.
