what brand of valve springs did you use and for what head? got a link?

Was thinking that might be a possabilty but the computer on the generator is 24v and does all the starting/ stopping/ timed charge, voltage adjustments, delay, and fuel pump prime and operation. starts with a single switch and was hoping to keep those perks

I believe the exemptions for trucks older then 2012 retro fitting ended in 2020. all that is allowed now is a full retro fit engine of newer then 2012 or 1000 miles a year low use exception.( except for emergency use those mile do not count, fire contractor water trucks ect) at least thats my...

interesting, I would love to see this experiment done with larger wire size like 2/0

outback vfx3524 ten years daily use no issues

I belive the outback may also have a dump load you could also use aux ports to turn pump on when batteries are charged and have excess solar and use something like a atkison gen start dohickie to control pump time. pool timers may have high phantom loads, but not sure about that

I would second the Grundfos pumps. alot of the SQ models run off of solar dc or AC gen. I was able to pump a 300' well with a 1000 watt honda generator with a sq pump. Most well pumps would laugh at 1000 watt generator. ALso stay away from pressure tanks if you can, best to pump to a water tank...

Looking for a solution where i can just flip a switch and it works

its going to be charging 32 lipoe4 280 in 2x 16s

Does anyone know if the voltages are adjustable on the ssr in the batrium expansion board? I am looking to control a contactor with the ssr and would prefer a 24vdc coil model... Optional Expansion Board (series 3) details batrium 3 x Mechanical 30Vdc 5A relay outputs 3 x Solid state relay...

the solar installers in Ca use fmc alot of the time

I belive you want stranded wire for Dc applications. most romex is solid.

SQ flex series looks like the 6 SQF-3 with around 850 watts of solar (directly connected) would soot you best https://www.solar-electric.com/lib/wind-sun/SQFlex_Product_Guide.pdf

Also the controller box ($900) is not needed but it makes things nice for the ability to connect a float switch. a normal pressure switch will work to turn off pump if using pressure tanks without the controller box.

my sqf pump has pumped 800 gal everyday for about 6 years, more in summer. couldn't be happier.

depends on how much elevation drop 2.3 feet vertical is 1 psi. anything less then 15 psi is miserable but can be done, 30 psi is a good pressure all around. you could always build a stank for the tank to get a few more psi. 20 feet would be around 8.5 psi. more when the tank is full...

this may help https://diysolarforum.com/threads/lifepo4-charging-voltage.21259/

I still have the fm 100 available if anyone is interested!

SO then who wants to buy a nice dewey 24v dc generator? 8 hrs of use, electric start. diesel single cylinder yanmar

Has anyone tried to use a ev charger to charge a lifepo4 battery bank from generator? Is this doable?

can I get a opinion if these cells are matched properly, a mix up with shipping has sent me two cells that were not matched with the rest. cells #21 and 23 are the the two that got swapped

If I had two 24v dc generators of the same output could i wire them in series to get 48v to charge the batteries?

My order data from Amy. Grade A matched cells. new "k" cell. seems good to me , but Im not a expert...

hopefully this pic is easier to read

caps are 288.4 to 292.2

Direct solar around 800 watts no inverter. on a few occasions I have had to use a generator when the sun decides not to show its face for a week. How far is the well from the inverter? My 900 ft from my inverter so made sense to just throw a few panels up down at the well head. Line loss and...

sounds like two breakers with a breaker "lockout" would work. this is standard on a outback power wall switching from grid to battery...
