I am planning on getting a 24v inverter/charger, a 24v solar system and a 12v to 24v B2B charger. First question is can I reuse the existing cabling in the motorhome that is between the current 6v batteries and for the 12v lithium batteries and create the varying resistance issue between the...

The four 6 volt batteries are in two series to make two 12 volt batteries. One 12 volt battery (two 6 volt) is located under the entry steps. The other 12 volt battery (two 6 volt) is located at the front of the coach several feet away. The batteries under the step are right next to each...

I just purchased a 2017 Tiffin Allegro Breeze 32 BR motorhome. It currently has a 1250 watt inverter to run its Whirlpool refrigerator and other outlets in the coach. The current battery system consists of two lead acid 6 volt batteries in series under the entry steps and two 6 volt lead acid...

William discusses pros and cons of the 24V MPP controller. The killer for me was not being able to charge the 24V house battery with the engine alternator. We will be traveling most days and the engine alternator will ultimately be the primary source of charging. The 12V MPP has only a 1000...

Can the hybrid function (back feed to the grid) be disabled?

After watching one of William’s YouTube videos, I thought about creating a 24-volt system for my motorhome and combine a AC battery charger (AIMS Power CON120AC1224DC AC Converter & Battery 12V or 24V Smart Charger 75 amps) with a 24-volt MPP inverter/solar charger (MPP SOLAR 2400w Pure Sine...

Thanks for the information. I am looking at Rich Solar which have 12 volt panels in both 100 watt and 200 watt. The cost per watt is similar. The 200 watt is about 11" longer and 7" wider. I have limited space on top of my 25' motorhome. One or two 200 watt panels may be easier to locate...

This may be a dumb and very basic question. I see everyone using multiple 100 watt solar panels. Is there any advantage to using four 100 watt panels over two 200 watt panels? Thanks. I am new at this.

What is bad about a high frequency inverter? And, will the Kisae Abso 2000 work with lithium batteries?

Definitely not made of money. The system as described on the web page did not list an AC source for charging the batteries. I want to charge the batteries while at a campground. And, I wanted to size my system for adding batteries at a later date. I will start with two BB batteries. Is...

I am wanting to install a system modeled after the “400 Watt Solar Package w/ Alternator Charging” described on the web page. The recommended components include the following. 400 watts of solar panels 50-amp DC to DC charger with MPPT 300-amp hour lead acid deep cycle battery bank (or 200-amp...
