Great video Mike. That looks pretty cool. Did it have any way to export log data to a file to analyze with a spreadsheet?

[@ww7gbaradio382]

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.

[@LifeAtTerminalVelocity]

I have been looking for an alternative to the Victron. Thanks dude.

[@robertmeyer4744]

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

Safety tip, be careful with wearing dangly conductive bling around batteries.

[@regularguy519]

😂

[@vikingnorm]

YEA!! ALWAYS REMEMBER SAFTEY THIRD!!

[@MrTommy001]

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.

[@TheGeekiestGuy]

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.

[@buzzsah]

Nice unit, I keep my batteries charging with 240 solar w/regulator/charger. I just ordered 2 new batteries after 12 years on my last 2 batteries.

[@pcfreak1992]

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.

[@mikeperalta5821]

I have 2 300ah battery. Will it work with that shunt I'm confused with the 500a

[@nitekry]

UART is your serial port to do any programming or updates on it.

[@K5YVY]

That’s pretty neat ☑️ oh and it seems maybe you should remove your bracelet, added a lot if suspense though 😎

[@jerryKB2GCG]

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]

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.

[@jerryKB2GCG]

@@hamradiotube the batteries don’t have terminals, only Anderson connectors, thanks.

[@KC2BKM]

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]

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

[@KC2BKM]

Thanks love smart guys lol @@timel64

[@Ezzell_]

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!

[@WX4CB]

i just picked up a cheap 100ah LiFEPo batery from amazon and it has bluetooth built in to it.. it's gerat.

[@peterdekeles.]

Can you export data? great video

[@hamradiotube]

Unfortunately not

[@Wayde-VA3NCA]

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...

[@gr1zzly72]

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.

[@DellFargus]

Shunt sounds like a portmanteau of two dirty words. Throw all that stuff on your bench into a tupperware-tote and sell it as MegaGeek.

[@Matt_Boyce]

Yeah, these are definitely no longer available.
