Same fix here. Still all good.

Has anyone had a problem with the rangers when camping in a tent only site with their FWC or similar rig at Mather Campground at the Grand Canyon. Some sites say tent only as allowable equipment. Thanks.

I have come to the conclusion that the IOTA in my 2015 Grandby is perfectly adequate for charging my LiPo 100ah for as often as I plug in. The battery will reach about 98% charge overnight with fridge running and quickly tops off once I get some sun on my panel. I’ll buy a few six packs with the...

Thanks. I will check it out.

Interesting. When I initially tried to charge my new LiPo battery I did not see the higher voltage. I should give it another look. I am currently running the battery down for storage but will try the charger again. This what the label on my unit states. Accor o your information it seems capable.

It has the dongle port but also a sticker that says it has been disabled.

I wish my Iota had the dongle capability. Sounds like it works well.

I observe the lower charge voltage from my Iota as well. I have decided to leave the Iota in place since my solar set up is charging my 100ah LiPo sufficiently. I have also chosen to not go the DCDC route and have disconnected my ACR to keep the truck battery separate from camper. So far so...

Yes, I have asked many dumb questions. I have a pretty good setup now, at least in my eyes, thanks to advice from this forum.

Thanks for the information. I am going to keep the Iota for now. Solar charge is pretty fast even with some cloudy skies. I disconnected the ground on the ACR. This appears to have separated the truck batteries from camper. Checking the ACR and the green led which indicates closed position is...

I checked. It doesn’t allow the dongle. Thanks

I was kind of thinking of just keeping iota but power anxiety was getting to me. ? I don’t use much power, 12v frig, heater on cold nights, phone. My new lithium, 100ah, 160w and new Victron 100/30 MPPT contoller seem to be huge upgrade from AGMs and old PWM controller. Fridge running from...

I’m liking your advice.

I do not have a fuse labeled converter on my dc fuse block. I do have a 120 breaker for the the converter. I looked up the installation for the iota and it states a battery positive connection. There are so many wires in my cabinet it is hard to tell how FWC wired it. I may need to take the...

I would like to disconnect the IOTA in my 2015 FWC and using a Victron IP22. I most likely will not use shore power much but would like to have the ability since I won’t always have enough solar and do not have a DCDC charger. I can see where the IOTA is wired to the battery. Would it be...

I have everything hooked up. 100ah SOK, Victron Smartshunt, and Victron 100/30 MPPT controller. Questions: 1. Do I set up the Smartshunt and controller with the same voltage parameters, etc? 2. Does the Victron 100/30 controller default to lithium charging mode? I looked at the parameters...

Will do. Nice looking rig.

Nice setup. I have a FWC Grandby with front dinette. The batteries are by the back door. Since I am replacing 2 AGMs I have plenty of room. The SOK is slightly wider but shouldn’t be an issue. I was just out today looking at how I might rearrange things. I won’t have the DCDC, at least at first...

Good features. I have one on the way as well as a battery. Hopefully all will be online next week.

I think I am going with SOK 100AH Bluetooth BMS. My question is: I do not have a Lithium battery charger. I believe charging initially via my solar, with a Victron 100/30 controller, should work as that will be my primary charging. Is there a reason that I would need to initially charge with a...

Thanks for the information. I agree with you about those 3 brands. I think it is between SOK and Powerusrus. I want the low temp cut off and Bluetooth as you mention. I think I will foregontje heated model as has been pointed out that these are in the living space. If I am going to gone for the...

Thanks. Will Prowse was my next stop.

Can normal ring connectors be used to hook battery cables on lithium batteries or do they require a special connector?

Great. Your energy usage sounds very much like mine. I use a Victron Smartshunt and am happy with the data I get. Basically fridge and heater in cold nights and maybe a phone charge. Thanks again

Thanks for sharing your experience with heated battery. I think I would probably get by without the heated. I will most likely only camp in the snow a few times and then I have the heater to keep the battery above cut off. On the plus side, it sounds like the low temp cut off worked as it...
