Dear Community, I am reaching out to seek some clarity regarding the process of connecting my dometic rcd 10.5t fridge to my 12V system. The installation manual has left me somewhat perplexed, and I'm hoping that your collective experience can provide me with the simplest and most accurate...

Thank you for the quick response! If I build 4 batteries with their own BMS and parallel them, how can I make sure that the 4 batteries charge and uncharge evenly. Would I need a 5th BMS for that or can I just put them in parallel? If that is my best bet, I think I will use the smaller 100A DALY...

Thank you. I am aware of the weight but I really need a big battery setup for my build. The 12 V topic is an issue but since I also want to use my vans 12V alternator I think I got no other option.

Thank you, Steve, for your detailed answer! So to clarify. All wires from my 4 battery cells should be same gauge & length and the wires to MPPT Solar Controller, Inverter and DC to DC charger (wired to vans alternator) as well. However, if the wires to the battery are all the same length but...

Thank you for your answer, do you know if I can use one small boost converter (my Step-Up Boost: DC 400W 15A) to power all 4 potential 24v JK BMS or is it better to use 4 of the (each BMS has its own)? I am not sure how much amps one 200A JK BMS need at max. Also can you recommend treating 4...

So you recommend setting up the 16 cells as a 2x 24V battery systems (with 2 BMS) and the common DC Bus solution @Steve_S mentioned? Sounds interesting! Regarding the DC DC step up charger. The charger with the highest amp rating I could find online was the "Orion-Tr Smart 24/12-20A (240W)...

Hello DIY community, as an absolute beginner, I apologize in advance if some of my questions are silly. Introduction: I am currently converting a camper van and the next step is the electricity setup. Based on the fact that most people recommend a 12V system for beginners and that my vans...
