I'm in complete agreement with you. I did that second one as my first drawing and kept thinking something looked wrong. Started over from scratch and came up with the first diagram.
Working it the other way, is this digram correct as well?
Each set is 12.8v @ 100Ah, wiring in Parallel to make 12.8v @ 300Ah
(Breaking apart the sets helps, even though they'll be tight during install and all connected using copper bus bars.)
Definitely considered those. Haven’t bought yet, but the ones from ohmmu are the same price with 50 more Ah, so I’m really considering those since I’m only wanting two. Getting 300Ah from two batteries would be pretty nice. And for under 2k.
So, chemistry is the same, Lithium Iron Phosphate, but the ohmmu are only 4 cell. If there is a chemistry difference I am missing, please educate me instead of just saying they are different.
Sounds fun! Enjoy. I like the idea of replacing the Generator with a large battery pack. This option doesn't make as much sense for me though, based on the type of RV'ing we do.
Well, I have to do something now. Current Lead Acid batteries are dead and won't charge. I could make an effort to revive them since they are only 2 years old. Been reading up on repairing batteries and the RV will be parked for the next 3 months, so there is time to try and revive them and get...
My coach is not wired to charge the batteries from the engine alternator. Engine charges the chassis batteries only, which I plan to leave alone. The house batteries are charged from the Magnum MS-2000 Inverter/Charger, while on shore power or running the generator. Once an MPPT solar charger...
;) Read what FilterGuy says above. Teslas, Leaf's, all EV's have a small 12v house battery. People will upgrade these to LiFePO4 to support higher end amplifiers, electronics, etc....
Understood. If you’re good spending that much more, go for it. I found that ohmmu offers a better deal, so that’s what I went with. Ohmmu has been providing batteries to Tesla owners for years and is considered a high end product with exceptional reliability. Also an AZ based company. Any...
I’d really look at how many panels you can fit based on size of panel. And maximize. You might find you can only for 4 200 watt panels, but maybe you can get six 150 watt panels for 900 watts. You have a huge battery bank. I’d try and get as much solar on that roof as you can.
Take a look below. I believe this is correct to get the desired results of a 12v 300Ah LiFePO4 battery pack.
And, in the drawing, that can all be done using bus bars, right?
Thanks
(Install space necessitates the batteries to be configured like this, all in a single row, thus the odd layout)...
Deleted second pic and I think I did what you suggested in first pic. Keep it simple. 1st set is P at 3.2v and 300Ah, then repeat 3 more times in Series to get to 12.8v and 300Ah. Correct?
This makes perfect sense and is very useful. The LBCO has a max setting of 12.2. I’ll use that. For Battery type, I have gel, flooded, AGM1, and AGM2.
What about the comment above around the generator? I’ve been doing a lot of research and watching YouTube conversions, and no one ever talks...
Omg! So jealous. Have to watch this thread. Do you have a web site or anything on the full details?
this is also prime for a solar system, and I’d consider switching the batteries to LiFePO4. But that isn’t necessary.
I have a large Fleetwood Diesel pusher with an Onan 6Kw diesel generator, a Magnum MS-2000 Inverter, and four 6V 208Ah lead acid batteries. I don't want to deal with battery maintenance and want to ensure my batteries always have good charge on them.
My plan is to replace the four 6v batteries...
