May 9th Initially the controller default programme is the lowest, so I have now set it to option 4. The nominal voltage then is 14.9v and tested at 15.1 probably due to temp compensation, which has to be set.
Sept 2020 I transferred Victron Direct USB cable to set up the S6 145s workshop batteries way back, probably in May, but I now have a second unit that will be fitted as and when
Javascript calculator for voltage drop through copper wiring/cable
- Cable length is the single distance from source to load not the sum of the pos. and neg. wires.
- Use a figure for maximum current as this calculates the maximum voltage drop.

Morning Low is the voltage before any use, maybe before sunrise :)
Yield is the power used including power via the inverter. ~ I Indicates Inverter Use (Fridge + +)31st August : ML V=12.63 Y=780Wh I
