Yeah, the 6ga wire is maybe a foot long, it connects at the inverter then goes to the batteries over the 1/0 wire from there. No noticeable warm spots. Something funny I noticed, from their supplied manual it suggests for 3' to 16' to run 6ga in and 4ga out. I will double check voltage drop...
basically, the batteries will accept as much current as they can when at a lower state of charge, at 500ah capacity that can be quite a lot and will likely be more than the wire is rated to handle. dc to dc controller would allow you to use all of the capacity of the wire without blowing the...
Yessir, that's what got my attention. 50.1a in and 49.8 to the battery. 17watts of waste heat.

I will have to find a way to step the 1/0 down in size and run a ground to the lithium bank since...
The parking ac is my next move, likely getting it for next summer, I haven't been blown away with the ecoflow wave2 but it does a good job for overnight. the problem lies with it's programming. If i set it at 68, it will cool to 5f below that, and the fan remains on even when it satisfies the...
Also, now that I look into it I'll probably just go ahead and get one ordered. From what I am reading I'll get back quite a few amps that the li time is just dumping as waste heat, with the 50 vs 60 I might have to idle a bit more on the hotter evenings when I dont quite run enough to fully...
New charger doing its job so far, volt drop from end of battery back to the charger was 0.03v across each lead. I did a little looking around yesterday and if this one fails again I am looking at the victron 50a model.
Hello, First post here.
I have put together an E-APU for my semi truck to reduce idle time in the summer. I have three LiTime 200AH batteries in parallel, charging them is a LiTime 60a dc-dc unit, my truck has a 240a alternator installed and handles the load just fine. the batteries power a...
