Hey everyone! I'm trying to find a way to balance my 12V battery bank in my RV. Most of the balancers I see are designed for 24V or 48V systems. Does anyone know if there's a balancer specifically for a 12V setup?

Are you using several 6-volt batteries to make a 12V system? If you’re using regular 12V batteries wired in parallel with solid heavy gauge cables and bus bars, balancing shouldn't really be necessary. Just make sure you're charging and discharging from opposite ends of the parallel connections for optimal results. There are plenty of resources online that detail the best way to set this up for maximum efficiency.
Yeah, I'm using a Victron bus bar with heavy wires. I wonder if it's an issue with the Renogy LiPo batteries since my bank and my friend's seem to have uneven voltages.
