Thanks for this! Just about to rewire our batteries. Going to wire them to the new to us solar panel.

No worries, it’s a bit garbled and poorly presented but hopefully you get the science behind it. Great time of year to get your solar hooked up 👍🏼🍻

Hi, good video. The Smartgauge website shows how bad the imbalance could be if the connections are just made to one battery of a parallel string, especially at high currents for inverters. Just taking positive & negative from opposite ends 'on the diagonal' makes a huge difference if the ideal way shown is not used.

Michael Thomas Hi and thanks for commenting. I think what you mention I talk about at 2m21. Sorry about my poor presentation but that’s me!

All my batteries including starter share same negative but positives separated and separate isolation switch is that correct set up ?

Yes all negatives should be connected. The main positive wire coming off of the battery bank should have isolation switch.

Hi, this is how my batteries are connected. Having solar panels next week. Should the be connected the same way, or positive negative each end of the battery bsnk? Thanks

dave smith I have mine the same way. The solar ring connectors are usually a lot thinner than the other lugs so should fit on your battery terminal ok. Cheers

Nice vid there. There is a lot of people that just not sure on this I have seen many papers on this. I have try many different way on my solar shed. I am running mine slightly different at the minute to get some readings.

Waiting for your vid on the solar shed! Unfortunately I cant rack loads of PV's on the roof of the boat as there isn't enough room.

Why not run a 24 or 48 volt system?
@narrowboatbrewer8823

Notyourtipicaltechguy I would consider 24v if setting up a new system but I am the third owner of the boat and everything is 12v so have to stick with that. Cheers 👍🏼
