    yes been thinking of adding 1 more 100 AH battery. Blue Ridge MNTS hard to say weather here is pretty unpredictable at best.
  • Post in thread: lithium ion discharge %

    Hello, Recently a BattleBorn tech helped me program a Victron controller and we set the batteries (2 BB 100AH) alarm @ 20 percent 80% discharge not 100%. Evidently if you discharge a lithium ion to 100% there is a whole process to go through to recharge them which I was unaware of. Another tech...

    plugged in a KWH meter to a small refrigerator 24 hr reading over a week .33 kWh What size solar generator would adequately run this fridge 24/7 ?
  • Post in thread: lithium ion discharge %

    Battle Born for sure. It's all good. I was just kinda blind sided to learn this. I have yet to determine if the batteries are totally discharged if the Victron 12/25 blue smart & the smart controller will recharge without disconnecting & using an auto charger or other device to recharge. I do...

    12.5V 14% is BB lowest recommendation, BB tech recommended 12.9 20% for lead time or cushion.

  • Post in thread: Eco Flow stationary panels

    We currently have an EF Delta 2 with 220 watt foldable panels. I am thinking of acquiring 2 200 watt stationary panels VOC of 24.3 each which is under the 500 watt 60 v recommendation. If I add another Delta 2 battery does this change the solar input or it remains the same ? I already have 800...

    Victron Phoenix 12/1200 inverter the diagram I have which I got from where I purchased say's to use a 2/0 cable connection from battery to the inverter. I do not see how that cable is going to fit into the inverter + - slots as they are smaller than a 2/0 cable. 800 watts of solar & Victron...

    Some inverter/chargers will not start charging. Maybe Victron is different ?

    How far from your battery to the inverter ? 30" or 2.5'
  • Post in thread: Van life 12v System, newbie ?

    off grid, this battery would be used with the Van Life kit on the Will Prowse DIY Solar website. To partially power up a "artist studio" not planning on any major power draws. It should take about a week to check my usage with the kilowatt meter. Thank you for you feedback.

    How do I communicate with an order I have questions about or say something arrives damaged etc.. ?
  • Post in thread: First solar install

    should I secure my panels first w/ ground, conduit into the other components are work components to panels ?
  • Post in thread: Van life 12v System, newbie ?

    Van life 12v System. is this system to much to run some synthesizers, drum modules, lap top and a few lights ? the draw on the music equipment is minimal. 1 200 watt panel ,1 100 amp battle born lithium 12 battery. would 50 10 ga wire work to controller/all in one ?
