battery monitor

I'm just about to connect a BM2 battery monitor to the starter battery of my T6.1 and would welcome some input before doing so. My first query, is to decide whether to connect the -ve terminal of the BM2 directly to the battery post or to an earth point on the body. I know the BM2 has a very low...

I'm selling my Victron SmartShunt. It's a great little unit, with excellent mobile phone software to accompany it, from a reputable company. It's in perfect working order and I've reset it to factory settings prior to removal from my van. I'm only selling because I purchased the Bluetooth...

Good evening, has anyone placed a fuse on the BM2 for safety?... and for how many Ah... thanks

I'm looking to order components for what initially will be a very basic battery + B2B battery charger setup with minimal electrics – just some LED lighting and a portable compressor fridge. I'm opting for a Victron 30A Non-Isolated DC-DC Charger and a Fogstar Drift battery, both with bluetooth...

Hi all, I apologise in advance for not trawling through all the previous posts regarding this subject but did a search and wow! So deep! Basically, I have a 2019 camper conversion T6. It has a PMS3 black box under passenger seat housing the rcd/fuses, switches for van/car, pump etc. There is a...

My converter fitted my van with a very basic 4-LED battery test panel to monitor my led-acid batter. I wanted more data. I first bought a Renogy Battery Monitor. It seemed to monitor the current and voltage accurately, but the state of charge was always wrong. It would show 100% nearly all the...

For about a month I’ve been monitoring the starter battery with a BM2, as recommended on here, so that I know when I need to connect an external charger. For context it’s a 2016 Euro 5 with Stop Start BM. It’s a campervan conversion and it doesn’t get used much this time of year. The battery...

Could any one recommend a starter battery monitor that also checks the real life drain on the battery. (assuming this exists in a single peice of kit I'm trying to isolator a parasitic drain off my starter battery. TIA

Just FYI, there’s both an app & firmware update out for the BM2. This allows you to set your battery type:- lead acid/AGM/custom

Hello. I’ve got the Renogy Battery Monitor attached to a LB with 95Ah capacity. Set up of the monitor includes manually setting the Ah capacity of the battery directly as a value. I had put in 95Ah. I read the manual again and it says to set this value to the ‘usable capacity’ - so should this...

Hi all, I’ve read as much as I can find relevant to this problem and hoping for some expert advice. I’ve purchased a 500A Renogy Battery Monitor (I think you are all familiar). The installation is simple enough, except the bolts on the shunt are 10mm and all my accessories (negative terminal...

Hope someone can help. For some reason (maybe a phone update) my phone lost connection with my two BM2 battery monitors. After some problems I now have them paired back to my phone (Android Samsung) but they are not linking into the App. I have uninstalled the App and unlinked the BM2 but when I...
