My setup is as follows... Four 335 panels for a total of 1340 watts, 100 amp Epever SCC, Ginadel inverter 12v 4000w 8000w peak. Two Renogy gel hybrid 200ah batteries. I need a good reliable setup to save my batteries from dropping too low in voltage and or over charging. I am looking for a...

Can someone recommend a good solution for a cut off/ relay/ or FET? And how it is wired into the system?

THANK YOU!!! It then asks on the next screen "set battery rating" it is a 200AH Is that the number rating the tester wants? It allows you to set a number between 100A and 2000A and the setting listed below. It is a hybrid Gel but I'm not sure if that is the setting the tester...

yes in that test but I just put in an arbitrary number in the initial settings just to see what it would do. I dont know what standard I am suppose to be using for this type of battery. No idea if it suppose to be CCA or what.. like the list listed in the first post Basically what i need...

I fear a battery might be failing and Renogy wants a photo of an internal resistance test on my Renogy 12v 200ah battery. I bought a tester a Konnwei KW 208 I am having trouble in the settings part of the tester. I don't know what number to input in the "SET BATTERY RATING" and which...

I did a pretty thorough search and I couldn't find the info I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have two Renogy 200ah 12v batteries. I am trying to test the capacity with the same tester Will uses in a video he made. I have everything hooked up but I am unsure if I need a fuse...

I hope i havent been abusing them. I assume the system cuts off anything that goes below 50 percent in order to not damage the battery. I believe I set it in the charge controller or I remember it being set.

Renogy suggested taking the batteries to an auto parts store to measure the internal resistance and to take a photo of the numbers should there be a warranty issue. The problem is I live in the middle of nowhere and I don't know how capable the shop in town is. What is the resting voltage on...

I talked with Renogy tech support this morning and they gave me the numbers I need. It looks like my setup is correct by the number. Boost absorption is 14.2, Float is 13.8, Bulk/Boost return is 13.2 Next step is to test the batteries. I don't have a battery tester so I am going to take them...

Those are some of the issues I am trying to figure out. The profile is set for GEL and is correct for the batteries I am using. The bulk float settings I have not set manually and I am not entirely sure what is optimal for the setup I have. I do not have a battery charger as of yet. I plan...

Here is the battery to inverter to CC. I believe this is correct? The positive that goes to the inverter has a fuse on it as does the positive that goes to the charge controller also has a fuse.

Hi, thanks for the help! Any help is much appreciated. I'd like to get this system dialed in. I am pretty sure my batteries are wired in parallel. The batteries I have are the same are the same, two Renogy gel hybrid. I have one battery facing one way and one facing the other in order to...

just read through my Giandel and low and behold it is a 12/24.

SO.. it looks like I have the batteries wired incorrectly? Below in the photo is how they are wired and the photo you posted. Wire them in series 24V for 2 battery system? Get a step down? If so can you recommend a good step down?

here is what i have as far as wiring
