Sorry for the slow reply! Thank you so much for your help. I wasn't aware that XT-60 requires solder, hmmm, I'll look into the other connectors you recommend. I really appreciate you taking time to help me.

Doesn't my mppt solar charge controller do that? Like, doesn't it control the amount of energy going into the battery so that it wouldn't be charging that high?

That is very helpful in getting me started! I think I remember seeing a video where Will cut the wire on the A/C cord before the wall wart and spliced in an XT60 connector so that he could still use the wall wart with A/C power. That way, he could use the original connector to the appliance, he...

I posted a link above that links to the same question with links in the inverter section of the forum because I didn't know how to delete this thread.

Doesn't the charge controller have a setting for the disconnect? I bought the Victron because it's supposed to be so customizable. I've been doing a little more research on wire sizes - with the Blue Sea Fuse box, I probably would never run more than 20 amps through it at one time (at least...

I'm a total newbie at this, but I'm trying to decide on a 1000W pure sine wave inverter to pair with my LiFeP04 battery for my basic solar system for a van. I found a 1000W pure sine wave inverter that has good reviews and looks awesome, but the manufacturer said "this device would not work with...

Newbie here, would love some help TIA! I’ve got a blinking red light. It shows a status flag of “Under 2.3V w/ Chg Curr”. I’ve tried the user manual thing of charging at 1 Amp, but it’s up to 98.82 state or charge and still blinking red light. It also says balancing status is inactive. If anyone...

This is a little above my knowledge level - where in the software do I see the current voltage? Is it the “Module voltage” box - at 13.293?

Do you know if there are any videos or diagrams that show how to do this? I’m so new to this, I’m not sure how.

I thought I would get a little low voltage alarm to set for the low voltage - or maybe get the victron battery protect. Would either of those solve that issue?

Thank you. I'm a little new at some of the terms, what are you referencing with charger? Is that part of the inverter? Is that something you can buy separately?

Heyo, solar friends! I am doing a modified "The Minimalist" system from Will's website and I have a question on fuse sizing and wire gauge. I have attached a photo of what I'm planning for the system. I wanted to connect the battery directly to the charge controller because the battery has no...

Wellllllll, the BMS is actually my problem. I ordered a Valence U27-12XP 138AH battery (non-returnable) before I knew that it doesn't have a BMS - and I don't have several hundred dollars to fork out for their external BMS. My thoughts were that I would get a voltage monitor and some sort of...

It was from a manufacturer reply to a question on Amazon. I figured since the reply was from the manufacturer, it was legit. But maybe they don't deal with LiFeP04 batteries enough to know. I was totally going to get the GoWise 1000W but I haven't been able to find it, sold out everywhere. :(

Does anyone know of a good resource that shows a total beginner how to wire DC appliances into the fuse block? I am confused on what sizes of fuses to use, how to make sure the voltage matches (specifically for DC appliances that usually plug into an A/C outlet with a big block - I've put a...
