On the recent Blog post, Jono shows the BMS 12/200 with a 200amp fuse across AB. Victron spec sheets indicate 100amp fuse maximum. I do not have enough info on how or why this is OK @Jono (Victron Energy Staff)
asked
BMS 12/200 Max fuse spec
On the AB side the maximal current is 80A (which means the maximal fuse to put in there is 100A). Putting a larger one on that side will not result in extra charge current.
So how does this work then? https://www.victronenergy.com/blog/2019/10/07/careful-alternator-charging-lithium/ he uses a 200amp fuse in the video https://youtu.be/ZyIJRjJtCR0.
I think the starter battery is making up the amperage over 80A. The BMS 12/200 can pull from the starter battery if its voltage is over 13V. This explains why Jono's charge time is longer with the BMS.
