    I need (want) more!

    Yeah, the original plan was to put up 1 more 100 watt panel. There's room for a 200 watt panel so I was just thinking...

    I need (want) more!

    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?

    Tracer3210AN float voltage not measuring up

    Sorry, what is the RVBS interface connection?

    Tracer3210AN float voltage not measuring up

    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...

    Can I reuse the cells inside a ‘drop in’

    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?

    What’s inside of an AIMS 12v100ah Lifepo4 battery? Have a look!

    So, I have this battery. I was considering another one down the road. Is it necessary to match batteries if I want to parallel up to 200ah? What now that it's no longer available? Brett

    Aims LiFePO4 battery

    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...

    Aims LiFePO4 battery

    Thanks. I like tidy wiring. Brett

    Aims LiFePO4 battery

    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...

    Water Pump

    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...

    2 Renergy 12v 100 ah, want to put into series.

    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. B.

    Can anyone critique my setup? Electrical diagram v2 for '93 HiAce

    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.
