Yes, using 12 volt Battleborn batteries in a complex serial parallel arrangement.

Or would just loosen up and fall out... My parents' old house had a FP sub and it was a regular thing to hear the panel buzzing and need...

I remember those days. All aluminum wire with a Federal Pacific stab lock breakers that wouldn't trip! Fire waiting to happen

I don't know of anything but maybe a Ridged, Dewalt or Milwaukee type. I'm assuming you're building it yourself. Pelican cases. 16 280s...

We're not just here for your use and pleasure. We also have an obligation to educate especially when dealing with a safety item like...

Let me put this another way... You could have a 1,000,000Ah battery capable of outputting 1,000,000A, but your fuse should be sized for...

Fuse is based on 1.25X the wire rating. Fuses protect wires, not batteries or equipment.

Finding a good joke is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

At least the PV efficiency is a bit better than it was 20 years ago so that space is a wee bit better used. And we still can't put...

Idle power is more of a concern for mobile applications nowadays. Limited PV space.

Maybe post a diagram with distance. It would help for locations and design for efficiency.

There's almost no way to answer your questions without you posting what you're trying to accomplish. If you have already purchased some...

I've seen several of the larger RV style batteries where when opened the cells were laying on their sides. There's no real compression...

One of the problems is if you use batteries with internal heaters, external shunts can’t be accurate.

They do? The only times that I have seen an inverter overcharge a battery was when the settings were made incorrectly on install...

My understanding was the specs are written for industrial/comercial use EVs and the like. Not the DIY solar use. But I don't know...

That's the goal, since winter production is reduced. Amperage isn't pushed, it must be drawn. There's nothing to handle. Your phone...

So the guy gets an A for effort, F for execution. Battleborn gets an A+ for product placement.
