Wiring: Battery Solar AC DC. Victron Wiring Unlimited

I have recently installed a Victron BMV 712 Battery Monitor.  I also just acquired a used Victron Solar Controller 150/85 for my solar system.  A resent post asking about voltage drop under load readings at both the inverter and batteries, reminded me I to share this most informative source.  I found this a most important source  to answer questions for the above.  I hope you too find this a good source to consult when wireing or choosing cable, and how they effect amps and volts with inverters, solar, AC, DC, etc.

With the following link you can download this most informative Vicron Wiring Unlimited book for free.

I love the bluetooth app Victron Connect fo view data, and change settings.  I also appreciate this manufacturers sharing of their research.  So far my experience of Victron's quality and usefulness of their BMV 712 Battery Monitor is 100% and I expect the same from my resently acquired solar controller.

Victron matches my experience of 100% satisfaction, now shared with the Xantrex line of inverter/chargers, which at this time I will stay with.
