RE: PD9245C-14.8

Yes I'm still alive and kicking
Sorry, I do not have any additional pictures. The several converters I have are in daily service being battery maintainers / chargers and simple power supplies. You might want to try an external adjustable resister aka POT to enable the desired voltage.
You should look through the earlier comments and obtain a good DMM to find the resister in question.

RE: Battery monitor that connects to wifi
RV Whisper.com
Suggest you give them a look - Amazon has them in stock
Only a few drawbacks from my perspective
DHCP only, no static IP address capability
2.4Ghz only, no 5Ghz operation
Not sure how software updates are accomplished
Several Temperature, Humidity, Battery, etc. monitoring options available
Including integration with a shunt based Battery monitoring system
Reminds me of the Trimetric battery monitoring stuff early in it's development

RE: Battery monitor that connects to wifi
Still on the OP topic, rather than create a new thread I will ask this here
Has anyone had experience with this company?
Good bad or indifferent would like to know
https://rvwhisper.com/
Looks like a good possibility for remote WiFi monitoring
I emailed them regarding my isolated LAN no internet requirements
Waiting for a response

RE: Battery monitor that connects to wifi
Good to see that we finally have "use case" question
Looking forward to seeing the OP response to this question
Very aware we all have different uses and needs
Mine - My RV sits about a 1,500ft from my home office in a heated powered Barn with a solid WiFi connection. I currently monitor and adjust the storage temperature and humidity with a nice Radio Thermostat. My desire is to monitor both the LiFe and FLA batteries in the rig while in my home office. It's PIA to walk to the barn in sub zero temps and 10" of ice and snow on the ground. This LAN connection is local only as in an isolated LAN without an Internet connection. Yes I am very security conscious. No Cloud services here! None of the 100 plus IP cameras we have here ever see the internet. MAC blocking works great on a quality router.
The Trimetric "station" mode solution looked interesting until it required the 2030 model - mine is the 2025 which in NOT compatible. Not sure if it requires a login and cloud service, assume it does.
The Victron solution requires an internet cloud login - no way will it function with an isolated LAN.
The Rasberry Pi system is a strong possibility
Looking forward to a cleaner solution, but not holding my breath

RE: Battery monitor that connects to wifi
I had high hopes for this solution it looked great. To bad the only compatible Raspberry Pi 3 B+ version is not available any more or at least any where I can find it. I see the 4 version is not compatible and way more expensive.

RE: Battery monitor that connects to wifi
Bruce
Thanks for the info - Looks and sounds like a possible solution
Is the cable you are referencing the VE Bus to USB cable?
I have the Victron Bluetooth Smart Shunt
Busy today but will look into it tomorrow first thing
Thanks again

RE: Battery monitor that connects to wifi
Researched both the Trimetric and Victron WiFi enabled stuff. No go, still looking for a suitable solution. A conversation with Bogart Trimetric said my "OLD" 2025 unit was obsolete they REQUIRE a 2030 with updated software. The Victron "solution" is way expensive, requires internet and a cloud login. Yes there is a difference between WiFi and internet. One of my local LANs never sees the internet, too many hackers! No way do I desire the "cloud" looking at all my devices.
Continuing to look for a solution

RE: Redarc 40 amp DC to DC Charger issue
Might be normal, If your Redarc is anything like my Victron 18amp which has no current regulation. Me I'm very disappointed in the Victron DC to DC chargers they offer no way to adjust the output current. Check out their web site forum and the many many complaints regarding this issue. Even worse my Isolated 18A max DC to DC charger, charges my 200amp/hr Li battery at 26amps! WTF! Had to return the 40amp version it went to as much as 70amps with no way to adjust the current.

RE: Battery monitor that connects to wifi
Following......
Been looking for a while now. Nothing that suits my needs just yet hope someone has a solution for the OP and myself.
Sure would be nice to have a simple battery voltage monitor that broadcasts a WiFi signal to my local LAN. Found several that do their own priority RF connections and or short range Bluetooth but nothing that can be accessed remotely via WiFi that acts as a AP and broadcasts to my Local LAN.
