Markous Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Seems to me that these would be alot more popular in this hobby, thinking of grabbing one to monitor the 180AH of lithium i'm going to have in the next setup. Victron Smartshunt Thoughts?

SnowDrifter Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 (edited) It's interesting, but I think realistically, it offers nothing to our hobby. Current draw requirements are known. Current supply capacity is known. Wiring gauge is chosen accordingly. Everything's fused accordingly. The ultimate measure of the electrical system's performance is going to be voltage. Being able to measure instantaneous current draw won't offer anything of use. 'Yep I'm drawing 300 amps, voltage is still good' That could be useful for diagnostics and testing, but I don't reckon it would give you anything in day-to-day Edited March 17 by SnowDrifter Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markous Posted March 18 Author Report Share Posted March 18 One of the big selling points for me is being able to set a depth of discharge alert. With the flatter discharge curve of lithium and my inexperience with the chemistry i'm looking at it as protection from my potential stupidity, LOL!

SnowDrifter Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 LOL that's a fair concern Honestly I think we've all been trained to look at voltage for our needs. Good voltage - no problem. Low voltage - problem. Which chemistry are you looking at? li-ion comes in a couple different flavors Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Blazer Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 (edited) rhose batteries are really not for car audio but for rv's, trolling motors, etc. says 80 amps max charge , you would of been way better off building a bank of Headway 38120 hp's Edited March 19 by 02Blazer Quote BAGGED AND BODYDROPPED , DRAGGED TILL THERE'S NOTHIN LEFT ......

Markous Posted March 19 Author Report Share Posted March 19 i'm going to be using four of them in the back and a 500F superbank underhood Quote '07 Ford Ranger - Soundman SS | iStreamer | AudioControl | Sundown Audio | Stereo Integrity | Mechman | Northstar On 5/21/2015 at 7:07 PM, boom50cal said: of course he gives no fucks. it's a ford ranger. only bad mother fuckers drive ford rangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
