Is it possible to connect a LPG/Propane gas level monitor?

Thanks for that info.

Thank you so much for this guide! I bought someone else's project and had no idea where to start. This was perfect!

Another great video; thank you! Can you tell me what options I have to get the data from the Cerbo to my existing NMEA2000 system? Do I need a specific NMEA converter cable, or can I pick up the data from the LAN, Bluetooth, or any other way?

How would I manage charging my batteries via the vehicle alternator in addition to this? Or do I need to choose between solar and alternator?

If the inverter itself has an on/off switch built into the case you could always open the case and run a much smaller wire to a light duty switch that splices into the case switch. But you would not get the indicator light like you would in his setup. That transfer switch is huge, smaller ones?

Man it’s crazy people complaining as much information you shared. I don’t even have a van yet and I learned from your channel already. Thank you for the free info

I'm not sure but on the Mopeka sensor choosing centimeters may also send celsius info to your Cerbo GX.

It's pronounced (LeeTime) not Lie Time.

Do Victron Smart charge controllers use the data from the smart shunt in any way? Any communication between them....

Good info,,thanx...

Does the Alarm alert on the auxiliary input as well such as low SOC of the starter battery?

Very nice detailed testing. Appreciate you taking the time and effort! Just subscribed!

so can i have more than one solar arrray charging the same battery bank?

I just want to replace my old lead acid battery in my 5th wheel. It's a 2013 model and I thought i'd get a 100ah battery and be done, maybe get a new converter too. Anything special I need?

Ross, awesome video. I built my van to be totally off grid, but thinking I want to add a/c. Where would I wire the a/c unit into this system?

Hi Ross - great video! I have a BatteryProtect 100 (not the smart one). For some reason it doesn't say which pin is H and L on the side of the unit. I assume it's the first pin but I can't find anything to verify this. Any idea? Cheers

Low temp protection, it’s always a small sensor on top or on one side of the battery but if you have your charger connected and doesn’t pull any powers from the battery the cells will still be frozen when the surrounding temperature has heated the battery enough and the sensor thinks it’s warm enough The sensors should be mounted between the cells to get this right. What do you think? If you don’t pull any power the cells won’t heat up enough before the sensor allows the battery to charge or am I missing something?

Hi Ross. Looking for advice. Have a simarine shunt + tank sensor. Works totally fine for me. Also have mppt /dc to dc - charger brand is SRNE. And inverter for 3000w. Now looking for add offshore charger/inverter. So thinking about replacing my inverter to victron multiplus 2000 or 3000va - not sure yet. So my question: is it will works fine with this setup? Or probably need add something else from victron range to the system? For control it?

The Cerbo GX wins hands down for a few reasons.... having the Cerbo as a separate box that goes in the wiring cabinet/engine bay leading to a neater display install - the Ekrano you have to have all the cables to the back of it so you are limited where it goes. Dont bother getting a display for the Cerbo as its best to use on your phone/tablet as if you buy a display they often go out of date....

thank you for your video. I did not know which of the two types I had to choose for connecting the dashcam of my car to the fuse adapter. I will try the solder seal connectors cause I already successfully used them in past to replace the internal fan of my apartment freezer

Does the shunt pass the SOC to a Victron mppt or do you have to pull up the shunt to view it?

I had a pair of those I tried to parallel. The BMS sleep mode is a problem if you try to parallel them. The ones I had would not work well in parallel; only one would "wake up" and the other would not turn on until the voltage of the first battery dropped. I would not use these batteries in parallel. I suspect they are fine in series.

Is it ok to run wires from a 920AH LiFePO battery bank on my RV to a battery charger on my towed vehicle (lead acid 12 volt) to keep that battery charged for use of the brake controlled and lights?

Very helpful! Subscribed

You leave a lot less questions with your thoroughness. These Avoid # mistakes, videos are a great chance to learn what not to do, then learn what to do in the very next moment. I'm getting ready to add a Victron 50 amp charger to our '24 Cirrus 920, and I'm putting all the pieces of the puzzle together while ordering what I'm certain to need for the job. I'm taking the Einstein approach, and spending 59 minutes to understand a problem, and taking the last minute to solve it lol. It seems that if I'm going 25 feet with a black and red 4 AWG cable, then a 60 amp fuse is just right. I hope so, because that's what I have. lol

Would you recommend mounting components to aluminum plating and have a gap between the aluminum and plywood wall?

Is there any setup to add the tp link bluetooth booster to the cerbo gx?

10:37 What do you use to connect them? Waggo connectors or something else?

Donde puedo comprar sensor de temperatura ambiente, temperatura superficial, humedad y radiación solar compatibles con el cerbo GX? soy de Paraguay, saludos, excelente explicación

Hi can I use another bluetooth sensors or cerbo work only with Ruuvi.

Another great video. Thank you.

Just a super great video. Thanks a million.

Why not a pull test to see which connection is stronger, as well?

Good Advice! We thought about charger for rear batteries More good reasons ! Thanks 👍

4 days looking for this answer. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

What is the spring for? Is there an electrical reason for it?

Some say battery to battery chargers can overload the alternator.. what think?

Where did you get 445amp rating for the 4/0 cable? The tables im finding say 170amp copper

😀Good to Know, Great Tips

This is so far the closest to what I'm trying to accomplish, just without the charger. Have a 5th wheel... adding solar panels and Lith batteries. How would I bypass the trailers invertor/convertor to make this setup work? Would I need a breaker switch like you show for shore power? Or was that just for demonstration purposes?

Instead of sliding the wires into the solder connector. Intertwine the wire strands, making a solid mechanical connection and sliding the solder connector over and melting. It gives you a stronger on mechanically.

Excellent. I think you’re the only one who’s done this comparison test.

great job with this mate, very informative :)

Does the Pro sensor have a USB plug to connect via the power bank or throw other power supplies? How long does his battery live? I want to install the sensor on my car's propane tank 70 liters. It is cylindrical and located horizontally. Will this pro version sensor work? Thank you.

Thanks for the info about the Cerbo GX not needing the Touch 50 or 70, and the ability to use a tablet or smart phone. I had NO IDEA the Cerbo GX could operate like that. This ability (tablet or Smartphone) would be very useful in my truck camper because I have no place to run the wires from the Cerbo GX to the Touch screen, unless they are surface mounted on a wall, which is very un-elegant. I have a CCGX which works fine, but it's mounted low and in a hard to view area, maybe I will replace it with a Cerbo and use an existing tablet I already have.

I just bought my Victron charger and I can’t logon to the Victron app. It tells me that my email address has not been verified error code 1512. How do I register or verify my email address? Is there a technical support number I can get any support support sucks so far.

Ended up here somehow, but very interesting. If I can’t solder I like the solder seal ones as an alternative. But I like to use marine heatshrink over the solder seal heatshrink. It ends up looking like a soldered connection and makes it more rigid. Slide a piece over before heating the solder seal, let it cool a little then seal it up.
