    48V Server Battery Questions

    Amperetime can be be in series/parallel, but there are vendor recommendations for total size (series/parallel connections). The older ones also did not have cold temp cut-off as well in the BMS. I have 2 12v 300amp in series and they are working well and can pull 3000W loads for extended...

    I called an called a guy I used to work with a few years ago that is an electrician. He confirmed that there needs to be a single neutral to ground bond as close to the source of the power, be it inverter, generator or street power. On the same ground bar the bonding occurs on should have a...

    how to wire 5 24v panels

    I purchased 5 24v panels on sale end of last year that were a great deal. They are not made anymore, thus the good deal. Never should have bought an odd number. That being said, this is where I am now. I have 5 24v RNG-270P panels. I was planning on setting up the panels in series and...
