Yes at some point there would need to be a limit or your entire battery could be depleted into a vehicle. I would limit charging by placing on a 20 amp circuit with the evse limiting to 16 amps. This is about 4kW and should be time limited. Most EV drivers will understand the limits and...

Yes the voltages will diverge at the top of charge and converge in the middle capacity. Those numbers look reasonable for a newish build. Trouble is the balancer does not do anything until the voltages diverge at the top. So maybe 10 to 30 minutes of actual balancing per day and will improve...

I had a manual pumped water system and it was absolutely wonderful for about 12 years. However lithium is far and away better.

I would first suspect they were marginal cells from the start. Especially if they never balanced out with an active balancer. Just water under the bridge now.

-13F seems cold but I think this is doable with self heating. Especially inside a compartment.

Yes normal assuming the battery is fresh. Takes some time to balance. Depending on use could be 3 to 6 months.

228 volts (Voc) into a 150/100 controller will let the smoke out. Or is this 5s2p? Any reason not to use a victron 48/12 converter? I would put the fuse in the distributor if possible as it does about nothing close to the converter. Only going to get 25 amps out of the MPPT so I would reduce...

I understand the rules were updated to exclude any part of the roof or roofing structure.

82F today, 60s and 70s in the rest of the 10 day forecast in Belgrade, Serbia. Does the WH sit outside in the snow?

Need a link to the pump. Brand and model #?

All at once is a massive system for a pop up. I would focus on propane. Otherwise need to list the appliance input wattage.

I cannot help however I am interested in hearing about the eventual success and how it works out for you.

A larger inverter will not draw more power unless additional loads are added. I would recommend a rating of at least 20% higher than the anticipated load. Even more if the power factor is bad.... may need 40%-50% extra. Not that the load draws more power but more apparent power may be needed...

What does the red indicator actually mean according to the manual? Probably best to ask Tesla or a Tesla forum. Although Tesla seems rather flexible on the power supplied, might be simple fix.

Yes adjust your withholding to reduce your refund. The 30% is a credit toward the total annual tax that the IRS keeps. If you pay in extra that always comes back. Even if the net amount paid is less than $3,000 the credit rolls forward to the next year until used up. So if the IRS is...
