    Rebel battery terminal studs

    Agreed, very tempting to go 24 volt if I ever have to replace my Magnum MS2012.

    Rebel battery terminal studs

    What gauge wire are folks using to parallel up 4 100AH 12VDC Rebel's? I'll use 4/0 on the final set to the inverter.

    Ooh, I like the new tie down bar as well, or perhaps I missed that in your tear down video?

    Pulled The Trigger on a 100ah Battery

    Agreed, I posted a comment on that video and owner replied, thankfully, with good news: Mark, we have improved and doubled up on all current and future batteries. Our new batteries come with 6AWG for the 100AH, and two 6AWG on the 200/300Ah. The battery in this video was version 1.0 and a...

    Broken Panel Brackets

    I had thought about direct attaching my panels to the roof using VHB tape, but two issues restrict such, the first is that my RV roof is slightly ever so slightly arched. There's no arching that panel to fit it. The second and probably just as important is that there would be no air flow under...

    Broken Panel Brackets

    The brackets I've purchased are definitely made from some sort of sheet aluminum, Punched and then bent. These are what I have on hand now. I wish I could get a photo of the brackets I've heard had broken https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z4J5JCD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Pulled The Trigger on a 100ah Battery

    Hope they work out for you. I was ready to, but after watching this, I am holding off. Heat generated by your cables is inefficiency, and inefficiency is wasted precious energy from your batteries, it's that simple. In my setup, where my batteries will be housed in the same cabinet with my...

    Broken Panel Brackets

    Has anyone witnessed cracked or broken aluminum panel mounting brackets on roof top mobile applications? I read of this in another forum, and just had a friend tell me that he had some friends visiting him in there Sprinter van when they noticed that every bracket on their solar panels was...

    Sun Trekker

    Man, that's great! I'd like to build a 400AH 12V system for our Super-C. A little overkill given we'll only have 840W of solar, but extra storage gives you options. Thinking about just purchasing two of the SOK units.
