Got it. I prefer a breaker. Any reason I couldn’t use one of those? Thanks again.

Thanks for the response and the tips. So to make sure I understand. There needs to be a 100a fuse between the battery and the inverter? Even if the inverter is fused itself? Thank you again!

please?

Specs: 200ah Lifepo in parallel - Renogy Lithium controller - Jupiter 1000w inverter I have the mc4 connectors running to the controller, the batteries connected to controller and no load as of yet but will be planning on putting a DC breaker panel to run some usb ports and some 12v DC...

Thank you for that!

I went back to the boat this morning and may have found the problem. One of the connections to the PV input on the rover was loose enough to pull the wire out. I secured it and retested (see pics attached). Still think these panels may be shit. They were in good light and producing only about 25...

I’ll try that today

I do have the AC charger that came with the battery. What should I be looking for? Renogy says 9v needed to light up the controller so I'm certainly getting that. Thanks!

Any way to check the performance other than what I did? Still doesn’t seem to explain why amps read higher at panels than at scc right?

Batteries in parallel. System voltage set to 12. I think the battery was reading 12.61 or so. Dc home app reporting (inaccurate) soc as 85%. So I don’t think the batteries were fully charged?

Hi all, I have the current setup. Renogy Rover 40amp SCC Flexible panels - https://www.amazon.com/Topsolar-Flexible-Solar-Monocrystalline-Bendable/dp/B09B1HJZBR?th=1 2 Lifepo Batteries -...

1. Thank you 2. Got it. Would it be acceptable to connect the inverter and breaker panel connections along with scc AFTER the 30amp breaker I have connected to the positive terminal of the battery? 3. If I decide to use inverter (see below) Do I just run an extension cable from the inverter and...

Hi everyone. I have assembled most of the components for this project and am ready to wire it up for a test. I have a couple of questions... Please refer to the attached pdf for my diagram. Question 1 - Do I need fuses between the Panels and the controller? I'll be using y cables to connect...

Sure. Just put it in sun and read the voltage with meter?

Considerable Let’s say medium. I’m ok with wiring up components, no need to make components Needs to be able withstand a storm 700-1000 cfm Maybe 12 hrs per 24? Prolly could be less It’s a 26 foot sailboat. Interior is maybe 125 square feet? Thanks again.
