    Awesome video. Learning the battery thing. Gotta ask, is that a wine fridge that you are using as a humidor? I have good ole Apache cases from Harbor Freight. Here in Heber City it’s dry so an air tight box with humidity packs is the ticket.

    Regarding the low voltage alert: The set voltage is the voltage where the alarm is “set”, so below which voltage the alarm should be triggered. Once the voltage rises up again above the “clear” voltage, the alarm is turned off. That’s why the set voltage has to be lower than the clear voltage, otherwise it would either never trigger or always be on.

    • @WalrusRiderEntertainment
      @WalrusRiderEntertainment 2 дні тому

      Correct. Once you start charging the battery via a DC-DC convertor or AC charger or Solar and it hits the "clear" voltage it will reset as the device knows the battery is recovering.

    that was great. I have the Victron one in my home 24V set up. you can mount that temp. probe on any battery on system. even on a cell if making a battery bank that way. what I did . works on different battery types so just look up data from your battery type like AGM and enter the data into the app. on Victron that 4 pin plug is for the smart gauge monitor . for a RV or home you mount in round hole and you have a display to read. may be the same on that. plug looks the same. 73's

    With all love, please take those bracelets off when you are working around those batteries. Nothing happens until it happens and when it happens you going whish it didn't, Also, if you are going to have the battery under the rack of metals tools, you should look into installing cable boots to cover up the lugs. 73!

    I want this to monitor my Bioenno 30ah battery for use when I go portable or do POTA. Can this somehow be configured for portable use without all the loose, crazy wires? Into a box maybe? We've got this kind of monitor in our RV but it's from Expion battery co and it's mounted in the wall.

    I'm betting the UART connector is for automation and connecting without the app. I want one. One of these days, I'll try and pick one up. Thanks, Mike. 🤙🏾oh and I'm guessing you can add a temperature part with that very UART port.

    How do you know when the battery is fully charged so you can synchronize? Also, do you know what gauge wire they supply for those of us that have to manufacture Anderson Pier Pile cables?

    • @hamradiotube
      @hamradiotube  6 місяців тому

      If you're using the proper charger for LiFEPO4 it will stop charging once it hits ~14.6V. You won't see any more current going into the battery. You shouldn't need Andersons for this shunt though. But if for some reason you wanted to use them, you'd want to go with the 15 amp connectors as they are the smallest I'm aware of. The red wire for this shunt to connect to the battery is 18awg.

    What is UART communication used for?
    UART stands for universal asynchronous receiver / transmitter and defines a protocol, or set of rules, for exchanging serial data between two devices. UART is very simple and only uses two wires between transmitter and receiver to transmit and receive in both directions.- Thank you Google lol. I still dont know what it does but it sounds cool.

    • @timel64
      @timel64 6 місяців тому +2

      It’s a serial interface. Most likely to update firmware.

      I suspect that's what that UART labelled port is for... UART usually stands for universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter, which is just fancy speak for serial port... The 4 pins are probably +5v, GND, TX, and RX...

    Pretty sure the reason they are not available is because they are getting sued by Victron Energy for what appears to be an exact duplicate of their Smart Shunt.
