I noticed Will hasn't updated the components & connectors section of his recommendations list for a while. Are the shunts, wires, fuses, etc. still the best option? Some of the links are actually dead (like the CurrentConnected prefab cables). I'm doing some last minute shopping tonight and...

I'm going to be running some pretty expensive electronics from a 13.6V LiFePO4 online UPS. Obviously I need a fuse for overcurrent protection, but is it worth including a TVS diode for overvoltage protection? If the power supply output wandered I could end up with 24V on the system, and while...

A lot of people are probably in the situation of buying 400W here and 600W there, or trying to build expandable systems. Does anyone know a list of the most common important PV parameters, especially Voc, Vmp, and Imp? If you're mixing and matching smaller solar panels, are there particular...

So I know Will has basically dropped 12V projects and product recommendations, but I need to pick up a little 20-30A 12V MPPT SSC to go with that Eco-worthy 200Wx2 deal. Is the Victron 100/30A 12/24 the best option? I saw they got a pretty decent price cut recently, and the only cheaper...

I'm making a UPS to run DC LEDs and electronics during an outage. Very, very simple: AC-DC charger, battery, fuse box, 12V-12V converter/regulator for anything that can't take the charger's bulk voltage. At some point I would like to add solar charging to this setup to maintain the battery...

Does anyone know for sure how power station expansion batteries limit current when attached in parallel? It's been discussed here before, but with no resolution. Some people said that the expansion ports are directly wired to the battery of the main unit, which means the expansion battery...
