Is the RShunt required for the Apollo Solar T80 Turbo Charge Controller?
We have a Apollo Solar T80 Turbo Charge Controller 80A. It is a fantastic product, however is the Apollo Solar RShunt 500/50 required to make it work? Why doesn't it come in the package?
The Apollo shunt is designed to provide the proper voltage and current input to the T80 in order to facilitate the Trimetric function. It also provides a convenient means or connecting the T80 battery temperature sensor, which is required for equalization.
The Apollo Shunt is essential for the system to operate at optimal levels. It serves as a hub for connecting critical measurement sensors: battery voltage sense, current sense, and battery temperature sensor. This is key to the built-in Energy Monitor function, which tracks energy harvest data and the battery state of charge (SOC).
The unit is sold separately as it is not required but often used in tandem based on the application.
