wi_taco 12V house power v1.0

If the shunt is rated high enough to handle the load of the starter, it should be fine.

 

How are you liking the Redarc? I'm about to add a second battery to my system and a 2000w inverter. I recently switched to using an induction burner, for cooking. I've been running it off of my Jackery 1500, but don't want to do that forever. I also figured out how to keep my batteries above freezing, for winter camping. I picked up a Propex heater. Batteries can't freeze, if the topper is heated lol. I have everything I need to add the second battery, except the fuses, connectors, and stuff like that. Still need to draw up some schematics and get an idea of everything I will need.

 

Very nice, sounds like you’ve got it figured out! The Redarc charger just got put through the paces on a 2,500+ mile road trip over the course of 2.5 weeks and worked perfectly. Best part is I can mount under the hood so it stays out of the way. My Victron shunt has been working intermittently though so I might have to replace that. Upgraded to a bigger fridge and never ran out of power. Will add more details when I get time (just got home today).

 

Sounds good. Looking forward to hearing about it.

 

Just finished doing a separate write-up for what I'm calling version 1.1 of my house power setup. Originally was going to tack onto this thread but it turned out to be more photos than I thought and wanted to keep things clean and organized.
