Afternoon all- I am wanting to double check and ask a question on wire sizing and amperage. currently I have 1-160 w panel on my roof with a 30 amp pwm controller 10guage wire coming in from panels, and going out from controller. I am adding 1 more 160 w panel in series w my existing, also...

Evening all- I currently have 3-27/100 ah flooded batteries from bi mart purchased about 9 months ago. They are not holding up very well. I’m looking to switch, I’ve always had good luck with les schwab rv deep cycles. Any other mild priced battery for a weekender that uses trailer about...

Question for you experts- Rule of thumb is to disconnect panels before disconnecting batteries. how is a BMS that disconnects battery in a cold temp situation, over voltage etc any different than disconnecting batteries and leaving panels connected to do a battery swap?

Hi all, I’m looking to switch to Lifpo’s. mom torn between the valence batteries used or new battleborn s. Any suggestion between the 2? I tend to lean towards battleborn because of them being new and warranty. My other question is charging. Most of my charging is with solar and MPPT, what I...
