  • 3000W inverter low output voltage

    I have a PowrTech PS1004 (3000w) inverter. On our last trip I was wondering why the microwave would not run well. Today I unplugged everything from the inverter and checked the output voltage, and I am only getting 89 to 90 volts output. The inverter is only a foot from my lithium batteries...
  • Confused? Battery+solar+Mppt+shore power+ generator+ inverter.

    Ok, I am a bit confused. I have successfully connected my solar panels to my Mppt to charge my batteries, but now I want to add an inverter as well. So currently I have a generator / shore power>transfer switch>AC for the Rv. So now if I add a inverter do I need another transfer switch? I...
  • Anderson Connector amperage

    How do I tell what amperage my Anderson connector is ? I have a 8mm female to Anderson cable adapter already that comes from my GZ panel. I see in Amazon they make 15,20,30,45 amp connectors for just the Red connector. Is there a way to tell what you have? I want to connect this Anderson...
  • Lead Acid to LiFePO4 conversion

    I can't find a conversion so thought I would ask. My RV has two 6-volt Lead Acid batteries in series to get 12v. Says on each batter it's 225 Ah @ 20hr. So how many 100 Ah Lithium batteries am I going to need? I doubt I would just divide 450 by 100, so thought I would ask.
  • Will my RV gas generator cause problems with my MPPT and Inverter?

    Wiring up solar panels to my MPPT/batteries, then batteries to inverter. My RV has a gas generator (5500w) that when running will charge my batteries. Will this all be ok or will I have to disconnect when running my generator? Also what about when I connect to shore power? This is my first...
  • Best place to purchase 12 or 10awg wire for my solar setup?

    Lots of talk about charge controllers, etc, but where's the best place or a link to purchase solar wire, or wire to go to my charge controller. I see ton's of different wire on Amazon, but don't want to spend $50+ or more only to find the cheap vinyl wire. Any recommendations for good wire. I...
