    Anyone buying these 305ah envision cells?

    I broke a stud off / laser weld.Drilled and tapped it, i may have went a little too deep on the drilling, will find out soon enough. I have it charging back up and seems fine so far.

    Victron 12/1200 Phoenix inverter blinking red & green LED

    I would disconnect power and let it sit for a minute, then reconnect.does it power up without the load. I have the same inverter running a large freezer for 8 months or so, no problems

    Victron 100/50 charge controller

    With the battery shunt I have wired to the battery and withe the 315x2 panels and victron 100/50 controller I usually see around 30 amps going in the battery during charging, never saw 50 Amps but probably due to heat(south Carolina) and panel angle. Now the question is what do I need to do...

    Victron 100/50 charge controller

    I was just thinking adding another 100/50. I have a Victron 100/30 controller also. 280x2=560÷12.5=44.8. Do you think that too much over paneled?

    Victron 100/50 charge controller

    12 volt 560AH lifep04. I currently have 2 315 watt panels in series using that controller but got the 280 watt panels at a great deal including the racking. So I'll remove the other panels all together and use then elsewhere.

    Victron 100/50 charge controller

    I hve a victron charge controller 100/50. I would like to wire up 4 280 watt panels. Would the best configuration be 2s2p? Also would i need to fuse the panels? Thanks in advanced

    Reusing existing satellite mount?

    I did it with 2 160 watt panels. If a hurricane is coming i just take it down. Its been up there for a few years or so.

    Wire size and breaker size protection

    I think I'll just use 2/0 since it's a very short run. Hedges, you got a breaker that you might recommend and work with the 120 amp bms? Thanks for the input everyone!
