Thanks, justinm001. I'll try to keep my runs short to save copper.

Looking for something like Will's 400w classic plus alternator for my Promaster 2500 diesel van conversion. One thing I'd like to add is a shore power battery charging and power option. Suggestions? All-in-One? Currently considering a 12v heat pump, and perhaps a 12v converted hot water heater...

thanks!

I have TWO dead 48v13ah eBike batteries. It occurred to me that I could take the cells and make a battery to run my 12v Diesel air heater. Is there a recommended BMS and perhaps a case for this?

Is it advisable to put the all in one inverter horizontally in the server rack?

In Looking for a good 24v high ah battery, and someone had suggested Seplos DIY. I had built a 3.6KW-h with 8 cells from battery evo and some chinese BMS - it worked well. I appears one buys the KIT from AliExpress (or Seplos), and the cells locally. I'm thinking of 304ah, as I'm pretty sure I...

I am looking for a 230ah 24v battery and the LI Time keeps coming up - and nothing else. It does not have, according to Ricekt of their company, low temp charing cutoff. Has anyone figured out some sort of "heating blanket frost protection" for LiFePO4 batteries? Or, alternatively, a suggestion...

Here's one link I was looking at, which seems to come in at $0.27/KW-h - only it is 12v, and 150ah, so, 4 of them - 2s2p

I'm looking to add over 6KW-h of 24 volt storage for a van build. I saw some Battery EVO Golf Cart batteries which looked promising size and price wise. Are there any special considerations for using a golf cart battery versus a server rack battery?

I am looking to install a 12vDC mini-split (treeligo or similar) onto the back cargo door of a Promaster Ram. Draw is rated at 30-70amps. The battery would be located about 10ft away (not as the crow flies). I am guessing this would be about 4guage - haven't looked it up precisely. Is there a...

I just purchased a van and wish to run the wiring first, before insulating, etc. I think I'll use glue on guides to center the wires, then cover with spray foam. That being said - does anyone have a favorite 14guage 2 wire, and favorite crimp ends? I'm thinking to use blade style to prewire...

I, too, think that 48v is the coming thing. These systems are more easily changed to a more efficient standard. Consider our 110-120VAC residential standard - the 208vac European standard must save a bunch in resistance loss and wiring. Changing that US standard would be very painful.

No especially good reason compared to 24v other than smaller wiring.

Perhaps - the listed ratings I see limit to 32v. Re: you second question - maybe.

Thanks for a very helpful answer.
