So I’m getting a Jackery 300 to run a Iceco fridge and some lights while camping. I know it has a max input but my question is if I use a panel/panels that provide more power than it can accept under the VOC rating would that be a problem? I want to oversize the panel in case I’ve got less than...

I recently bought a small 15a auto transfer switch. The switch plugs into grid power and also my inverter. When grid power goes down it switches to use power from the batteries and inverter. Of course while grid power is up and inverter is in standby/idle mode the inverter is still drawing a...

Ok this may be very trivial but instead of one 200 watt 12v panel would 2 100 watt panels in series for 24v be much better if the wire length to the controller was around 50-60’? Trying to learn some pros and cons. Thanks for your time.

Alright, got a wiring question on my remote switch for my Renogy 700 watt inverter. What I want to do is add a relay to the remote switch when grid power goes down to turn on the inverter. Well the remote switch wire has 5 wires: black, blue, red, yellow and green. Any idea which one I...

During a power outage I’d like to use a victron charger while my generator is running to top off my battery. Where my setup is located I’d rather just leave the charger plugged in all the time. Is there a setting that I can change so that after top off it basically sits idle till next time it’s...

Sorry if this is in the wrong category, wasn’t exactly sure where to post it but I’m looking for recommendations on a solid battery charger. There are so many out there it’s hard to know what’s a good one or not. Looking for something that can handle most types of battery’s. 12/24 volt. And...

So in my area I lose grid power fairly often. I have a backup generator (6600 watt) that will run my entire house no problem that’s wired directly into my panel with a safety lockout between it and the grid main breaker. But a lot of time I would rather not even fire it up. So I was thinking at...

Forgive me as math isn’t my strong suit thus my question. So this may be very stupid. Reading the specs for the victron 75/15 charge controller I see the different in PV power from 12v to 24v jumps from 220w to 440w. But looking at 24v panels you’d easily have way to high of VOC trying to get...

Definitely new to this whole world but want to be sure I’m not damaging anything. Just received a 75/15 victron charge controller and a 200ah Lifepo4 battery. Got it all hooked up and slowly charging it with a 200 watt panel. Currently at the battery terminals with a multimeter it reads 13.50...

So I tried searching online for exactly what the charge voltages should be for these batteries but I couldn’t find what I was looking for. There will be 6 of them connected in parallel to a Victron 75/15 controller. Any advice would be great. Thank you

I saw a review of the some of the smaller power generators and in particular that the Jackery charged quite a bit slower than the rest of the comparable sized generators. Was curious if this was still the case as the review was done a few years ago? If anyone has any opinions I’d be...

So I scored some used battery’s from a company that changes these out after a certain time regardless of the use they get. Figured I could use them for a very small project. Question is this. Should I charge each one individually before connecting them in parallel? My other question is I’d...

Alright this might be an odd question but here goes. I’m looking to build a battery back up system to would provide power automatically to a fish tank when grid power goes down. Now I’m thinking that maybe a hybrid inverter would do that for me by using grid power when available but when the...

This may be a dumb question but if I had a battery monitor on a 100ah lead acid could I set that monitor to show full at 50ah or any value for that matter as to have a visual cue not to over discharge the battery?
