I use XT90 connectors. You can buy them with 10awg pigtails already soldered in and just use crimp connectors. xt90

Instead of using a 25 watt resistor, I use an incandescent automotive lamp. You push the switch button and the light turns on an then...

That is a great option, too. I had it that way and my wife went to B instead of A first. Arrrrrgggghhhhh!!!! I guess I needed an...

A-B-off battery switch could be wired up with the resistor. Off to A (resistor) to B (on)

You can store electrical power or you could store water. Enough water stored and you could pump at peak solar periods, and wait out...

How much do you want to spend? How simple or complex do you want the system to be? Here’s a possible quick solution for under $10k: 1...

Data Sheet Protection "Battery reverse polarity (fuse), Output short circuit, Over temperature" But I couldn't find a picture of the DC...

Look at the lower part of the blue sea systems, link in my prior post. Top chart is for % voltage drop for length of AWG. Lower chart to...

Yes. I would use at least 8awg, preferred 6awg, since your connecting to converter and fuse box. Odd that it is only a 30A converter...

FYI Victron internal fuse

Yes you keep the 30a fuse. The class T protects the wiring from the battery then the 30a fuse protects the wiring from the class T to...

I kept one lead acid (LA) tongue battery for the trailer brakes. Sticker said LA required. The LiFePO4 BMS could be shut down due to...

In keeping with standards the Class T should be the trunk fuse. Simple with less chance of wire shorts. After it are the branches. A...

Yes the blade fuses should be replaced. Did not find an AIC rating for ATC etc.. They tolerate engine compartment temperatures. Fuses...

The voltage drops look OK. Fuses could use some rework. 1. Class T should be the single battery fuse. Green should be moved from battery...

Not sure the buss bar can handle the current.. Try using 2 wires on the Shunt. 2/0 to inverter on bottom and another wire lug on top of...

Those are odd panels and not a good option for 48V. 3S is too close to 100V for safety. In warm conditions, you'd be okay, but below...

I get 15.2a sometimes from a 75/15

Not at all. 0.2A is 1% of 20A. I would assume it's an error, or just limits of the hardware, i.e., if you told me you were only getting...

When you make something fool proof, someone makes a better fool.
