Isn't that current meter limited to 100amps? If the GU is putting out 200+ amps will you still be able to monitor what it's putting out?



Thanks very much for that. I will definitely buy...

I don't think that's an option for RoadTrek EcoTreks. Would love to be wrong.

610 watts with one large panel wired into one charge controller and the other smaller panels wired into the other. Was told both charge controllers are wired into a terminal for all batteries.

Right on, yeah I could easily be messing something up. In fact I'd say it's likely. I'm by no means competent let alone an expert in this stuff.

But adding up voltage increase is the only way I...

That is VERY possible.



I didn't exaggerate as I think that would require purposefully twisting the numbers. Mistakenly? Certainly possible.

I took the individual voltage gains and added...

Our results from charging 7 EcoTreks at one time using the GU from "empty" to "full" shows that one hour to charge a single EcoTrek up is a good rule of thumb IF you charge more than one at a time. ...

Thanks. Took some effort but we managed to run down 7 EcoTreks over the past 14 hours so we're about to drive for 7 or 8 hours seeing how charging 7 at a time does. Should have that data up later...

The results of our first GU test today seem to show that charging 4-6 EcoTreks with the GU at a time is better than charging one at a time. Lots more testing is needed though for us to get a better...

That is fascinating. If that is a consideration, I wonder why it's not mentioned in any RT information? I'd personally rather replace that single AGM and have all the juice charging my lithium.

Same harness as before I'm pretty sure. It was just the balmar itself that got replaced.

Yeah, the balmar with it's float. I wish they had a setting for lithium since lithium doesn't need float....

It was plugged in because when I drove it off the lot the GU worked. Maybe it wasn't plugged in until it snapped into place, I don't know. But it does snap into place and so I assume you have to...

So you think it's okay to plug that blue wire underneath into that brown receptacle on the alternator?

I imagine if it fits into the slot then it was designed to go there. Seems a safe bet!

When I fully charge the batteries with shore power they show 14.1 volts or so, and when shore power is removed they go down to about 13.6-13.8 volts.

So I think I have some idea of battery...
