Is anyone familiar with the xenteq brand? Im looking at either a 12v or 24v 4kw 230v output inverter and i came across this brand. They claim to be a product from the netherlands, but its probably another "designed in" claim wich gets assembled in china. But build in china isnt allways a bad...

im trying to find the info on it, but that page is just a 404 error...

Its not only that you cant run any panels in series, i just flatout cant even use my panels as their voltage is allready too high as single panels...

That is why i at first was like YES, this renogy thing is great. I mean for the price of the renogy you cant even buy a 50A victron mppt. And if someone else needs to figure out what is going on or i need to troubleshoot it in 10 years its as easy as looking in the manual. With homebuild i tend...

just a normal alternator and nothing else, there are no ac chargers on my boat at all other then chargers i can hook up manually if i really need to. But that prettymuch means i have a problem and im stranded with a dead battery.

i actually found your posting about that in a different topic, but i dont see how that would work? How is it knowing my lifepo bank is full?

i tought about that, but then i still need to make a circuit that turns that thing on when the lfp is allmost full or completely full. Or find a way for the bms to turn that on. My plan was to use a JK bms, but i dont think they have that kind of option right?

Are there any dc-dc chargers that let it "reverse" charge as wel? As in when my solar gets my lifepo4 bank fully charged that it wil then charge back to my sla starter battery? I know about the renogy dc-dc-mppt unit. But the problem with that thing is the solar voltage is absolute GARBAGE and...

wel at home where i cook more complex things i would agree with you on not wanting electric cooking, and i think a good restaurant would not go with electric either. But for cooking just normal food its fine, and if i want something special on vacation im going to a restaurant(if they ever open...

that plate wont work on propane but sure, a how gas plate is cheap, i know that. And if you put propane through it and shit catches fire guess who is liable for all the damage? Wel that is if you survive offcourse, wouldnt be the first to die from it. Last year a family got killed in an accident...

a 100$ cooker? That is certified for my insurance? Nah i dont think so. Everything needs to be insurance certified because of the accidents that happend in the past years... So if i want any insurance on the boat i need to have it checked over and everything. Where as the electrical system is...

The connection being as good as possible is why im kind of scared of the m6. In my automotive career we would allmost never put more then 7nm on a m6 thread. That isnt that much. It sure as hell wont squeeze a lug flat to the terminal, so if the surface isnt perfect it wil allready be a problem...

my calculations are based on measured time we need to cook food. And if you cook you probably know the time you have something on full power is pretty limited. I dont know many things that have to go on full power for 1 hour straight. Let alone 2 pans on full power for 1 hour straight. Most...

I have been looking in to putting a lithium battery in my boat for a while now. I allready have a working solar setup and i still have roof space left that i want to fill with some more solar panels. So my idea was to switch to lithium at the same time and then run a induction cooktop instead of...
