  • Post in thread: Convert an AC air conditioner to a 12v dc?

    Im only looking to heat a space of 20 - 30 square feet. Since I wouldn’t put the radiant heat under the cabinetry this is totally possible using limited power
  • Post in thread: Convert an AC air conditioner to a 12v dc?

    Im not looking for an inverter. I want to run an air conditioner off of DC power so it doesn’t use up all my battery power. So I was looking for a way to convert my air conditioner from ac power to 12vdc power and then connect it to my solar battery bank (bus bar). An inverter takes my solar...

    In theory doesn’t converting an ac appliance to a dc greatly lower it’s power consumption? If we use the formula to find watts multiplying by 12v makes a huge difference than multiplying by 110v. I actually have a 300ah lithium (lifepo4) battery bank. However I am installing radiant heated...

    Ok so does anyone have a recommendation on an all in one charge controller that actually works perfectly?
  • Post in thread: BMS & connecting multiple lifepo4 batteries in parallel

    I want to order qty 3: 12v 100ah lithium battery and connect them in parallel. Each battery comes with its own bms. Do I use only one bms for the entire system or configure all 3 bms's. I am a bit confused.

    Is this possible? Is there any type of machine that you can use to convert it? Like plug ? the air conditioner into a machine and then on the other end it now uses dc power? Haha it has to exist

    Would you mind reading this thread and giving me your thoughts on my battery bank?

    Sorry about not describing it in more detail: Thank you!
  • Post in thread: BMS & connecting multiple lifepo4 batteries in parallel

    I am clear that each battery has its own BMS. So then I guess I will need to set the parameters of each BMS independently right?

    I hear you, thanks for sharing your insight! I live in Los Angeles so sunlight is amazing, prob have 1000 watts of solar, alternator charging, shore power capability and a back up gas generator if I ever need it. Adding up all the watt usage I should be ok. Radiant floors in such a small space...

    I don’t live in a cold climate. It’s more of a luxury that will prob be ran 3 hours a day once in a while max. I have a recirculating water system. Same 2 gallons of water being filtered through a 4 step filtration system which includes a UV light.
