Good call

I have an RV with 4x100ah Battleborn batteries, an Victron Multiplus and Cerbo system. Normally that is enough for my boondocking needs but at Burning Man for the week I would like more battery capacity to lessen dependence on my generator. I have several Epoch 460ah batteries that I don't want...

I have the bare wire connectors and I checked the polarity at the cable ends. It seems ok. I'll recheck it again.

So I have built a Solar trailer with modular battery system components. 3x100ah Lithium batteries, 4x285 watt panels aND A Victron 250/100 Solar Charge Controller. The panels are wired in series to produce about 144 volts and about 10 amps. Everything is hooked up and I get roughly 144 volts up...

I considered that but I think the Epoch are just too big to fit into any of my bays.

I had one but it was stolen unfortunately. I'll have to pick up a replacement.

I think I can minimize the difference by fully charging the Epochs before I leave and making sure my onboard battery bank is at 100% on arrival and hooking them up immediately upon arrival.

So I hope this is interesting enough to get the attention of the "Pros". I currently have an RV set up with rooftop solar and a Victron Inverter/Solar Charge Controller and Controls. I have 4 x 100ah Battleborn batteries. I have come into possession of a couple Epoch 460ah batteries. Normally my...

Thanks. That's fantastic input. I also have a pair of little Honda eu2000i generators that I converted to run on propane and I can use those to top up. If the power is out I won't open the deep freeze at all. This is an open deck utility trailer so four panels is what the footprint of the...

Well I live in the Bay Area and we have had numerous week long power outages at the house due to fires. I lost all my game in the deep freeze twice. Also I spend time in a fairly elaborate multi person hunting camp. Plus maybe Burning Man lol.

I am in the process of figuring that out. The rack system I would build would allow 4 x 200 Watt panels. The box mount would hold at least a 100ah 48V battery pack. This will likely be used primarily in the desert in a high sun regime. I will also have a generator to supplement charging if needed.

I was actually more worried about heat since I will mostly use it in hot dry desert conditions. As to cold I suppose I should monitor it as well as heat. Are there BMS systems or temperature monitoring devices that would work for this?

Thanks. The trailer will be primarily used in quite remote areas. When home they will be parked in a very secure location so Im not that worried about the panels.

I am considering building a system to power a small remote base camp for hunting or camping. My thought is to mount an overhear rack system above a 5'6" wide by 7 foot long utility trailer I have.I would then like to build the batteries and control systems into a 45" x 20" x18" double wall...

Thank you for trying to help me impress my friends.
