If you take 12V from each battery to a common12V bussbar, then from the bussbar to a 12V fuse block, how is the 24V pack unbalanced if the 12V load is being shared? If it is for minor amperage consumption, that is what I would do.

My camp is north of the French River and I will be pulling the trigger on components for a small system shortly. We don't consume a lot of power so it will be an 8s 24V 280 AH LiFePo4 battery bank. What will I do with them for the winter? Simple, at around 47 kg, take them home in November when...

I was taking a closer look at this unit and am somewhat intrigued by the connector and cable. Watts247 say it comes with the "42 battery cable" and the 3 wires look to be around 10 AWG (maybe 8?). I'd like to see the math on what it is rated for.

Good day everyone. I am in the process of finishing my off-grid camp on a water access property in the Ontario backwoods. No idea what I will eventually build as far as a power system goes. Going to be doing a lot of reading. Cheers!
