Bogart trimetric1/13/2024 Or do I still input the original Capacity of 100Ah for each cell when the system was brand new? (1,200Ah total) ![]() Do I take the average of the best and the worst of all cells and configure the system based on the average of 86Ah? (1,032Ah total) Do I take the best cell which is 88Ah and figure the entire system is equal to that? (1,056Ah total) Do I take the worst cell which is at 84Ah and lower down my total Ah based on that? (1,008Ah total) My question is, after I do that, how many Ah do I consider my system? I was told to match the Best with the Worst and so on. They’ve all been testing out around 85Ah each so far. I’m currently in the process of testing all 1,200Ah of cells one at a time which takes extremely long. I bought the boat with 2,060w of Solar and 1,200Ah of LiFePo4 cells. Portable AC units, induction plates, lots of electronics. Ok so I’ll change the readings to what you said and leave the rest whatever the default says?ġ,200Ah nowadays is about standard for yachts. They also said to put the total as 400Ah since Lead Acid can only be used down to 50%? So I chose to be on the safe side and claim 800Ah for all eight in total. Someone else here tracked down the batteries and said they are the same manufacturer as another brand which are 110-120Ah each. Off the subject.love sailing, had a brown trimaran, your boat sounds like a blast. The Trimetric does have a RS-232 output and does export data to a remote data processor, they do not have bluetooth output or monitoring. Many commercial fishing boats (no solar.generator and batteries) use the Bogart Trimetric.īogart is a neighbor and is a very brilliant engineer but i receive no compensation from them.I know good engineering.and do recommend them for your application. Enough to know that they are not in the same ballpark with the TriMetric or Pentametric. I only mention this as the TriMetric may well share a shunt with your Victron battery monitor, but I have little experience with the Victron battery monitor system. The Whizbang Jr is a remote battery sensor which provides battery data to the MidNite Classic or MidNite Kid controllers, It is not compatable with your Outback equiptment. I use these on my solar system which has MidNite Classic’s and the Whizbang Jr battery monitor and the Trimetric can share the same shunt with the Whizbang jr. ![]() It can and does calculate the Peukert effect and can compensate for battery aging and battery effeciency These units do use a remote shunt at the battery negative and all current to and from the battery must go through the shunt so it “sees” everything. I can recommend only one.its very good but its not glitzy.the user interface seriously needs a update but the information it produces is far, far, far superior to anything else out is cryptic but once you figure it out you will realize its true value.īogart Engineering’s Trimetric.or the even better Pentametric.best there is.not if and or but On the battery monitor.The Victron is glitzy but the data it produces is minimal.You really need a much better battery monitoring system. If is far worse in lithium directly due to the very low internal resistance in the lithium cells as compared to the resistance of the battery cables. This is a major promlem with any lead acid battery system containing anything more than 3 batteries in parallel. ![]() I have seen many solar system failures directly due to unequal current distribution caused by non equal battery cable lengths. Ok so I wrote that several days ago but could not post it as I took a lightning strike which took out some of my wi-fi link so a bit late and out of place.
