Hey there. I think I have a pretty basic wiring setup. Everything works but I have been running without a battery monitor. I just purchased BMV-712. Can you please help a nube figure out where to wire it in. Diagram attached.

May I ask which software you used to create this connection diagram? It looks tidy and would be handy to have.
Kind regards,

The load output of the MPPT 100/20 is only rated for 20A so I would not recommend to connect all your loads directly to it. Instead you should use the load output to controll a relay which is switching your loads on/off.
Thanks @Matthias Lange. I took my van out for the first time last weekend and had some electrical issues. I figured either the battery was low or I was pulling too much load from the controller. Based on your post, it must be the latter. Thanks for the diagram and relay suggestion. I had to use a relay to get a + ignition on signal for the DC to DC charger, but I copied someone else's work. If it isn't too much trouble could you help a little more by helping me to set up the relay correctly in this application please?
Is this correct?
Best wishes.
Mike
