Please secure all cable connections to proper specification in order to ensure good connections between the cable lugs and the battery terminals.DO NOT connect more than 8 batteries in parallel.

ONLY connect batteries of the same manufacturer and model in parallel. Meet the Renogy BT-2 Bluetooth Module Unlike the BT-1, this new generation of Bluetooth Module is compatible with a variety of products, including Renogy solar charge controllers, smart lithium batteries. The built-in BMS also provides advanced protection features to protact battery.

The built-in Bluetooth module can be use to remotely monitor battery status with a mobile device. Made using automotive grade battery cells, this battery offers high cycle life expectancies that are even under high and varied loads. Simon Barlow explained this neatly here.The Renogy Smart Lithium Iron Phosphate battery is designed to be a drop-in replacement for deep-cycle lead-acid batteries. This keeps the charging and discharge voltages exactly even, so they age together best.

RENOGY BATTERY MONITOR BLUETOOTH PLUS

I'd suspect that that 75 might be somewhat inaccurate, which shouldn't matter overmuch.)Īlso, if the thing just sits parked somewhere without using any/very little power for a while, the battery will self-discharge, which would be detectable to the SCC but not the Battery Monitor.Ģ) If a battery bank is to be wired in parallel, as I have mine, then the positive for this bank should be the plus of the first battery, but minus should be the minus of the last battery. and I tend to believe the Monitor's method as being more accurate, though unless I charge all the way up all the time (which should be possible) then there would probably be an increasing error in its running total, so that the SCC might be more accurate. Via a downloadable app, and quick set up, you can use your smartphone or tablet to monitor the wattage coming from your panel (s) and battery charge status, without getting up from your hammock. The point is that the Monitor and the SCC gave really different "% full" SOC readings during my week of testing. Renogy BT-1 Bluetooth Module This module also works with any type of batteries but is only compatible with select Renogy charge controllers. Instead, it sums up positive currents and subtracts negative currents, integrating as it were, keeping a running total from your initial "100%" or "0%" decision about Amp-hour capacity. Renogy 500A Best Battery Monitor with Programmable Alarm Bayite DC 6. In contrast, the Renogy Battery Monitor cites actual battery (/bank) voltage but unless you set the min/max voltages, it doesn't use voltage to decide about SOC.

It doesn't know or care how many batteries you have it just looks at the voltage, consults a curve it has for this kind of battery, and cites the SOC.

RENOGY BATTERY MONITOR BLUETOOTH MANUAL

My little owner's manual booklet doesn't show this the diagram shown above would have been helpful to me.īut I'm actually writing this because there are two points I'd like to make which I hope are worth your time to read:ġ) As far as I can tell, the Renogy SCC (I have a Rover 20) measures voltage, only, per your choice of battery chemistry (sealed AGM, in my case) to determine the state of charge (SOC) of a battery or bank of batteries. In retrospect: DUH! Though I wish the Renogy's monitor manual would say this - and actually I wish its diagram would show the (crucial) little red wire heading off to the battery bank's + terminal. Weighing only half of the lead-acid counterparts, the battery can be safely discharged to 100 DOD (Depth of Discharge), delivering twice the energy. Now it works great, with the two little arrows showing UP when the sun is hitting the panel and down when the batteries are depleting - but this was confusing to me because if you get this wrong it will monitor the depletions correctly (show how much current is being spent, and how many Ah remain, as it did during my multi-day test) but won't show the battery increasing in charge again. The Renogy 200AH 12V Lithium Deep Cycle Battery w/ Bluetooth is designed for the drop-in replacement of deep-cycle lead-acid batteries with its standard BCI group size. In this thread it's been made clear by you kind people that nope, this has to be connected to the P- terminal. My problem was similar - I had incorrectly connected the Renogy Solar Controller (SCC's) BATT- connector to the B- terminal. Real-time monitor:The battery features RS485 communication portsenabling communication between batteries, external devices (BT-2 Bluetooth Module or Monitoring Screen) and host computers for you to monitor the charging status in real-time in Renogy DC Home APP.
