Jeff, Thanks for your ongoing content. Appreciate your videos. Specific to this one, I'm curious if the shunts utilized for this purpose are ignition protected and can safely be installed on gasoline-powered vessels. I am particularly interested in the Bluetooth-enabled Victron Energy product line for this purpose, but I have been hesitant to install such due to varying information on the subject. Thanks in advance.
When charging batteries they will turn some of the amperage into heat at the batteries. How do you account for this when determining how full your batteries are during charging while using a battery monitor? Or do you wait for the charge amperage to drop off as your indication that you’re out of bulk charge?
Good question, the smart charging curve: bulk, absorption, and float charging voltages assist a battery monitor to know when the batteries are full. Some battery monitors also look at charging amps and timers to assist when a battery is full. Remember battery monitors are estimating battery capacity, it's not an exact science.
hello. from Spain. Thanks for the videos. They are great. I have a question. My Mastervolt controller does something strange and i haven't found the answer in your videos. The thing is that it doesn't go to 100% when the bateries are full and i have to reset it to 100%. Thanks again.
Remember battery capacity is only a approximation and it's not really accurate. It's possible that you are not recharging your batteries long enough during absorption phase to get to 100% of capacity.

I just got back from Channel Islands and the battery monitor is a must. I have the victron BMV-700.
Hi Franklin, totally agree. Otherwise electrical is total magic!
If you have a bluetooth Victron do you still need a monitor?
Hi David, Victron offers a full suite of products, you'll need a battery monitor to get the amp-hours, amps, and volts monitoring functionality.

Wahoo! I got to be the first one to thumbs up this. 😁
Thanks Sean, appreciate the enthusiasm!
Yeah, I’m with ya when it comes to McGiver idiots f’ing up everything they touch.
