You need to re-read the directions, Setting Full V: is the resting voltage of the fully charged battery as recorded before connection. You set yours to 14.4 volts which is way to high. You need to do that part over and start over.
Wait what’s this resting volts and stuff ? You can’t just hook it up and use it ? Why do you have to set the volts to a certain number ? What is that for ?

Nice video, simple and effective. I have a lead acid battery. I think that shunt is compatible with that battery. In 5 years that battery hasn't seen a rest voltage of 12.4volts or below 😊. I really hoped the li time shunt would allow for manually adjusting the % without having to discharge the battery all the way down in my case lead acid battery. For me every cycle counts.
I didn't drain mine completely either. I didn't want to go all the way down either, maybe to maybe 20%? I just know that 0 means I still have some margin.
Do you happen to know if you turn off your main disconnect, will you lose all settings input? My Li Time battery manual states: for longer lasting battery store at 50% and recharge every 3 months.
Sorry, I never disconnected it, but I am sure it will not lose it's settings. It would be odd for a battery meter to need resetting after the battery is drained.
@TinyCampersDIY ugh I have a 200ah lifepo4 battery running a 2000w inverter. I wonder if I would hurt it if I ran a 1500w space heater to drain it quicker 🤔
Thank you ; I just received mine and your video was very helpful ! 👍
Interesting, so you can see your battery usage in a more convenient location. Nice!
You CAN use a small wire. Thats what the small screws on the shunt are for.
If anyone wants to get away from stiff wires , purchase welding lead cable ; it is very flexible and usually costs less per foot than service wire .
Good idea!

You are correct. I indeed reset it to 13.4. Thanks!

Thanks for the upload one day my brain will brain such things 👍🙏🕊🌏🐛💞🦋🌻🐝
haha. No, it looks worse than it was.
Looks exactly like the Renogy one
I thought the same thing. Haha
Thanks for this video. I don't know much about shunts. And by don't know much I mean don't know nothin. 😂
Haha. Basically it will allow you to measure the current too. Not just voltage.
Interesting

Is there a way to turn the display off? So its not drawing power for no reason when the system is off
No. There is no back light so the display consumes very little power.
👍👍👍👍
Your process of programming was edited you needed to show each step to explain how you overcome the issue you encountered
How do you discharge it?
I ran the microwave for a few cycles and left a large fan running in the van all night. Actually took me 2 days to discharge. haha
