Thanks, I have had these units for a couple years and acquired them one or two at a time and now have what I have described.
Can you suggest what I should use if I was doing this project from scratch? If it is not too expensive, I maybe could liquidate the lesser pieces and replace them with...
Thanks, I must have not been clear when I said I had 20 cameras. That is in two locations that have power, my work and home. I am just putting 2 cameras at the cabin and will not add more until I get the solar and batteries upgraded to a level that will power more cameras and other items.
I...
I am starting a project with my pop up camper that I would like to run by someone smarter than me :)
I have two Battle Born batteries (BB10012 - Battle Born 12V 100Ah) and connect them in parallel into my 3000W pure sine wave inverter. I will also have the batteries connected to a PD9180LV...
Sounds about what I was thinking as well. I will get the watt hours to compare with your larger unit, probably negligible difference tho.
What should I look at first if I want to go longer? I can add two more batteries but I don't think the charger will handle 6 batteries but I do have two of...
First time poster, glad to be here :)
I have an off grid cabin that has no AC. I need to install 2 of the solar panels shown in the attached photo. These are brand new panels but I bought them a few years back and they have been in my home office since purchased. I am sure the technology has...
This is doable. I also have 2 Gauge 2 AWG wire and properly sized copper lugs with thick heat shrink to build the cables. I see your topo says 4 for the dc distribution. I may have some of that as well
Yes there is a DC portion of the OEM converter and its only purpose is to charge the aux wet cell battery so the dc lighting will work
Remember, I am leaving the OEM system alone and installing a complete second system with its own wiring and outlets. They will never interfere with each other...
Thanks, Yes I forgot to mention that I already have this charge controller. It should have ample capability for me to grow and ad more panels and batteries as I move forward this summer
Well my brain is smoking from reading all the battery specs so I believe this is what I am going to do. I have three of these Battle Born batteries that are <6 months old. Two of them are in my enclosed trailer and the third one was going to go in my pop up this spring but I believe I will use...
Thanks for the feedback
The cabin probably does drop below freezing inside since there is no heat, however, I went up there this past weekend expecting the bottles of water stored there to have frozen when it got down to the lower single digits a couple weeks ago. If they did freeze, none showed...
I would love to start over but it appears I will have to live with what I have because of cost. I don't have a problem replacing an item or two but right now is not a good time to spend a couple grand
What would suggest utilizing what I have? I do have two more batteries I could use but that...
I have 4 Battle Born batteries (BB10012 - Battle Born 12V 100Ah)
and two more (SOK 100Ah 12V LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Batteries)
6 Batteries in total and all are 100AH
