    Battery charger for LIFEPO4 in Australia - Experiences?

    I found a similar model in Australia. At that price I think I will try it, and if I use it a lot and it's not big enough I'll go to the next level. Thanks all for you help.

    That looks like a good option and more than what I was looking for in the first place. Thank you.

    Thanks guys. I think I was searching for the wrong words before. Variable Power Supply did the job :) Thanks for helping out again.

    Battery charger for LIFEPO4 in Australia - Experiences?

    Thanks, looks like a good unit. It doesn't do 24v though, or did I just not see that?

    Battery charger for LIFEPO4 in Australia - Experiences?

    I am looking for a 12V and 24V battery charger that will charge AGM and LiFePO4. I'm in Australia, does anyone have experience that you can share what to buy and what not to buy?

    Whats your average KWH hour household ?

    Averaging 15kwh per day for two households, 3 grown ups in total (rental unit under the main house). Mostly LEDs, most power points metered and switched off automatically. Main consumers are fridges, washing machine, dishwasher, heating and cooling.

    I've tested these on my YouTube channel EcoAmbitionsAustralia. They are not perfect, but they work for me.

    Adding an "off-grid" inverter to my "on-grid" house system?

    I don't think an inverter without a battery would work. What if you have a cloud come through? Do you want your devices to go off? The battery in a solar system balances the power between solar and the requirements of the consumers. It is required to my knowledge. Maybe checkout solar generators...

    Trying to find single pole, non polarised DC MCBs in Australia

    I was told today, that in QLD Australia, 2 pole have been made mandatory, which explains why I couldn't find them. I ordered the 2 poles ones that were suggested now and I have ordered another box to fit them.

    Trying to find single pole, non polarised DC MCBs in Australia

    Yes, that's the ones I will get if I can't get my hands on single pole ones. I'm going to run 4 cables down from the roof to the shed, so size matters ?

    Hi from Brisbane, Australia

    Hi, just wanted to say "hi". I am Matthias from Brisbane, Australia. I am still learning about Solar, so far I have setup a small system that was originally intended to be a solar generator, but ended up running my office and domestic fridges. My aim is to test and play with the components, just...
