I have the 40Ah version and the Bluetooth Dongle. But there are no informations About the state of charge.
asked
How can I check the capacity status of my Peak Power Pack full /half or empty?
Hello,
Unfortunate that is correct, as there are multiple way of charging this SOC calculation is hard to do.
Hi
@Johannes Boonstra (Victron Energy Staff) , there seems to be quite a demand to have that information. The PPP has two means of charging, and two means of discharging. Would a combination of two Smart Shunts allow for the respective information? I really would like to have your (Victron's) engineers to provide a cookbook solution for this. Eventually it means you'll sell more devices :-) I sure as heck will buy whatever is needed.
Only way i would use is the Smart Shunt or the BMV-712.
But the Smart Shunt is not so pricy. A bit cheaper around 50 Euro.
Hi
@mike4nl , as I've also commented to the other post, the PPP has two ways of charging and two ways of discharging. I assume one SmartShunt would not work anyways, but might two do the trick?
Hi @afoeder
I will answer your question tomorrow. I have some images from the inside of my PPP. It is the 8Ah version but the inside is all the same, i'm missingsome MOSFET's for the domestic output only.
- The both charging ports (charger & solar) are not the best place for the Smart Sunt.
- The both outputs (main & domestic) also not the right place to connect a smart shunt.
- Because based on the connection (load or charge) you don't see the load and/or charge current and voltage.
In the or better on the images i will show you the Minus (ground, 0 Volt) where you could connect the smart shunt.
Important question is how old is your PPP?
It is older then two years?
No we can't doanything because you are still on guaranty.
Yes,older, then you can do it. ;-)
@Johannes Boonstra (Victron Energy Staff)
I know that what i willshow is possible not the right way but it works now for one year in a boat.
Hey
@mike4nl , thank you, I am excitedly awaiting your images :) My PPP is brand new, but I still am interested in what your solution looks like.
You have research or consult the manufacturer for a voltage-to-SOC chart specific to your battery type (lead-acid, lithium-ion, etc.). This chart helps estimate SOC based on voltage. And use the Bluetooth dongle and the manufacturer's app to read the current voltage of the battery. Compare it with the voltage-to-SOC chart to estimate the SOC.
