    LiFePO4 prismatic cell short circuit current and main circuit protection

    Do we need to worry about this with connecting two 100ah Battleborn batteries? Where would we put the fuse there?

    New GOAL ZERO YETI 1500X vs BLUETTI AC200

    Sometimes I'm in the mountains where temps at night might drop below 30 but never in the daytime. This power supply is for my van. I seriously doubt I'll ever be camping in 30 degree weather day or night, but if I were, could I just disconnect the solar from the unit and reconnect when back in...

    New GOAL ZERO YETI 1500X vs BLUETTI AC200

    Thank you - so if I wire in parallel to keep the volts at 24v, it sounds like even if the 9.8 amps double, I won't damage the Yeti? Not sure what Clipped means.

    Bluetti 1500 vs 2400 + Solar panel?

    Will's later video cautions against the Bluetti because it has software issues, reports of people waiting months for a replacement under warranty and other than a tech support number, they have no english speaking customer service in the US.

    New GOAL ZERO YETI 1500X vs BLUETTI AC200

    Ok, so if I wire them in series, and put a breaker or fuse between the panels and the yeti so it doesn't exceed 10 amps, would that work? And how would cold temps cause the volts to go up?

    New GOAL ZERO YETI 1500X vs BLUETTI AC200

    Can you look at my panels and hopefully answer my questions? The 1500x has a max watt rating of 50 volts. I got two 200w panels which I intended to wire in series which would give 24 volts, well under the 50v limit. https://richsolar.com/products/200-watt-solar-panel My question is , the Yeti...

    Need Fuse and wire gauge suggestions

    It's for a small camper van. Two 100ah LiFePo4 batteries. This will not be connected to the car battery, and most likely not use shore power.

    LiFePO4 prismatic cell short circuit current and main circuit protection

    Holy crap. What's the likelihood of a breaker failure?

    Need Fuse and wire gauge suggestions

    Couldn't find the link, but the only DC devices I'm going to run are charging my phone, my laptop, maybe a larger monitor, and an internet hot spot. Everything else is 12volt low draw.

    Need Fuse and wire gauge suggestions

    Hi all, Does anyone have a schematic showing where all the fuses go, what size fuses and what size wire for each? System has two 12v 200watt panels, 40amp MPPT, two 100ah LifePo4 batteries, have not figured out what inverter yet (suggestions?) And a fuse block for 12v fridge, led lights, and a...

    Yea, and what causes a short circuit?
