Today's Lithium batteries are are mix of complex components put together in a relatively simple way. Chinese and American companies buy lithium cells, an MPPT charge controller, probes, wires and put them in a metal or plastic case. As long as you know the components are good and assembled...

An elegant solution. Thanks.

Things do change. Aolithium sent me two 12v 100ah batteries to review. I plan to install them in parallel in my new Rockwood Mini Lite 2205s. I pick my RV next week. Finally. Part one of my solar system upgrade is simply adding the two batteries. Next I will be adding panels and upgrading the...

The wiring in the 2021 Rockwood and Flagstaff models with the DC fridge combo is rated for 30 amps. Each 190 watt solar panel is rated at about 9.3 amps. So three panels in parallel is the max while using the manufacturer installed wiring. I would consult an electrician to confirm my info.

I am considering these batteries too. Just one!

2021 models of the Micro and Mini Lite travel trailer offer a 190 watt panel, a Go Power 1,000 watt inverter plus PWM charge controller. My goal is to upgrade to 3 panels and replace (PWM to MPPT) and relocate the charge controller. Details, details, details. Maybe this summer?

It's sunny here. Most days.

Brilliant!!

Is there a charge controller or shunt that includes a battery area probe that will stop damage from inadvertent cold weather charging? I am purchasing a pair of modest lithium batteries (upgrade from wet-cell) that don't include cold temperature shutoff. I heard that Victron has such a device...

I understand that many DIYers depend on YouTube influencers to point them to certain solar system brands and configurations. I was interested in putting my hands on panels, charge controllers, wires and more in the DFW area. There are quite a few companies that install residential systems...

How 'bout some kitten and puppy videos?
