I received and installed my 100ah battery yesterday. So far so good, it was totally uneventful. I called Aims tech support prior to install for any last minute tips & tricks. I also asked if the battery's BMS had low temp cutoff. It does not. (the 200ah does) Since my EPEver CC does, its not...
Let me first say that I over-bought, meaning that this inverter/charger offers way more than I currently need. I was kinda planning for the future. To that end, I have not yet really stressed this unit enough to get close to any limitations or deficiencies. What I have learned subsequently is...
I have nothing constructive to add...
I just wanna add my name to the No Love for Renogy list. If I were a boss at Renogy, I would do whatever I could to reeducate this customer, make this exchange, and lock in a customer for life. But, alas, I am not.

I'm guessing this is insider humor.... My apologies. I have no idea what this means.
As far as over rating their inverters, It'll be a long time before I get to a 2500 watt load so I may never truly find out. I bought bigger than I needed cuz I was hoping not to have to make this purchase...
Yes, you've seen superstrut. You just didn't know it had a name. Go to the electrical aisle at Lowes. You buy the rails in 10 foot lengths and whatever other pieces & parts to fit your needs. If you ever played with building toys like Lego, An Erector set, or Lincoln logs, SuperStrut will be...
I'm gonna guess that the intimidation factor comes cuz you have an overwhelming pile of stuff that you are staring at. You gotta break the job up into manageable chunks. I'd say, puteverything away except your panels for now. Focus on getting them mounted with the cable into the van. Once...
So.....
Yes, I have a 23ah D-L battery. I'm doing a trailer conversion and my plan was to buy battery as funds will allow. I need to spend the bulk of my cash on hand on other parts. I figured I would just parallel them together over time until I felt I had enough. For the moment though, the...
It was way cheaper and more versatile than buying prefab roof racks from an industrial supply. I also left about 6 inches protruding on the other side so I can mount an awning later.
Install an Inverter/charger from the vendor of your choice and an RV power inlet to charge from shore power.
I have cutoff switches on both the battery positive and the PV positive for exactly the reason you indicate.
Does anyone have any experience with this company?
I bought one of their 23 AH batteries to get me started with my trailer conversion project. It's enough to keep the lights on and offer some basic service. The price was right for the budget, and I figured I would just add more as the project...
Wait... am I reading this wrong? You're trying to connect two batteries in serial, but the load is 2 12v fridges? Why are we not using a parallel connection? Are you wanting 24 volts?
So, I never really thought to ask the question. Even though my trailer build is on going, my focus was more on the charge profile of my EPEver CC. I'm rarely plugged in. Like I described earlier I bought based on future expectations rather than immediate need. I have a 2500 watt Inv/Chgr with...
I'm really trying to wrap my head around that 3000 watt number. That's 250 amps at 12v or 27amps at 110. I'm thinking that If you're plugging an AC pump into your generator and drawing 27 amps for 30 to 40 seconds, there is something wrong with that pump. 27 amps sounds like a Full Load Amp...
I have 3 x 100 watt panels creating 54 volts at 4.2 amps into my epever 3210an cc. I'd like to get a Rich solar 200 watt panel (20.4v, 9.8a) to add in. For series, I would expect 74.4v. What happens with the current? My cc should handle that, right?
I'm also working on a trailer. Here are a few things to consider:
1) I have both a roof a/c and a vent. Consider your internal layout, the appliances on the roof, then figure out the panel layout. I put my a/c where the vent was originally, then boxed for a vent towards the front where I'm...
I set my TracerAN to float at 13.8v, but I'm only measuring 13.5 volts at the battery terminals. Should I be concerned about this?
3 x 100watt panels, EPEver 3210AN, 100AH LiFePO4 from AimsCorp.
BTW, not meaning to hijack my own thread but...
I just received a second battery and will run...
Regarding grid tie....
I'm gonna bet there are complicated electrical codes that will make it difficult.
That said, why not just add a transfer switch and power inlet as if you were setting up an emergency generator. You could then select a few circuits to power with the trailer while its...
Geez... I wish I had seen this post earlier. Have you started your build yet? I'm doing a 6 x 12 trailer now for next years BBQ season. I'll try and collect some pics of my install. I did a down & dirty video for the guys at Dakota Lithium cuz they wanted to see what I did. I'll link to it...
So, this is the best image I have at the moment. If you zoom in to my left hand, you can get the idea. This is the shallow Superstrut rail. In hindsight, I shoulda gone with the deeper one.
