Mr Michael K....please see my short direct answers imbedded in your post next to your questions. I sure would like to know how I can/should use the Progressive Dynamics series 9200 charger/converter if I were to replace my lead acid batteries with LifePO4 batteries. I bet this Progressive...

A little back story. Also this is involved so if your not the patient type you should move on to another post. I am who I am and seek the help I need they way I can benefit from it. In my mind I need to present information to get that done. I know there may be a less wordy way to accomplish...

Thank you Rocksnsalt....yes portability is going to be somewhat of an issue...I live in a condo here San Diego. I can drive ETTT to my garage door to unload whatever solar generator I end up with so I can charge it up. I can NOT leave the truck in this complex though due to the HOA restrictions...

Edit: I went back and NOW see the section on how to build your own system that Will has laid out. My post that follows was written before I noticed all of this information. I still would have to know what brands and model numbers you all would suggest to keep from buying incorrectly. Out of...

When I work "Ethyl" *THE* Tool Truck (ETTT) is driven between 75 miles round trip a day down to 35 miles per day. She will stop and go up to 10 mechanic repair shops per day. Think of a delivery truck. She will show up, have her engine turned off, then have me go into the work bays where the...

I will recheck. I had the monitor, laptop, receipt printer and two cordless power tool battery chargers that charged up two batteries that were flat plugged into a 6 outlet power strip. The power strip was plugged into the "KillaWatt" meter for 16:02 hours....maybe i toggled the meter's switch...

Mr. jbird526, Body shop guys are some of my most interesting customers. The skill and actual artistry they employ stops me in tracts often. Lol on lugging 450lbs of Power Tech 8kw generator! Mine is mounted as a fixed unit on a fancy slide out tray built into ETTT. As soon as my Kilowatt...

This post is a bit of a rant..... In 2016 When I was building "Ethyl" *THE* Tool Truck (ETTT) I added an 8kw diesel generator to mostly power the A/C for showroom/display area/sales floor. It also can power the battery charger needed for the now dead SIX 6volt float batteries that are onboard...
