    Can someone please answer my controller/panel voltage question

    I have 4 200 watt panels, the specs are: Max Operating Voltage (Vmpp): 21.01Volts Max Operating Current (Imp): 9.52Amps Open Circuit Voltage (Voc): 24.29Volts Short Circuit Current (Isc): 9.89 Amps I want to charge 2 100ah Battle Born batteries in 24 volt config. I have Victron MPPT 100/30...

    Am I crazy to think I can build my own LiFePO4 battery bank from raw cells?

    I have purchased 800 watts of panels, as that is the most I can get on roof of our motor home. Now I want the best battery bank I cannot afford. We'll be full timing and our fridge is a 12 volt compressor fridge which is what I want to make sure we can accommodate, along with lights, fans and...

    Using a 3500 Watt Generator Inverter to Charge Batteries?

    We haven't pulled the trigger yet on the batteries, Trojan T-105 Plus is something I am still considering at 225ah ea. We might be able to pick them up for around $600/4, as opposed to $1000 or more for agm's. So are you running 225ah on that panel? That would give me hope for us. I am...

    Using a 3500 Watt Generator Inverter to Charge Batteries?

    We don't have time to try to figure out the systems in our 1988 Gulfstream motorhome. Maybe some things work, maybe they don't, but they are old and wouldn't be able to properly charge our agm batteries anyway. Generator is gone, but the shore power cord is still there and we are wondering if...

    Using a 3500 Watt Generator Inverter to Charge Batteries?

    What do you mean by after travel and setup? Are you talking about the time it takes the batteries to get to me after ordering? Because they will be charging as we travel with solar panels. I don't know what to say about the converter in the rv, but we don't intend to mess with that. We are...

    Using a 3500 Watt Generator Inverter to Charge Batteries?

    So, we are building a battery bank with 4 6volt 225ah agms. I think. That's about all I am comfortable spending. So, 225 usable amp hours at 12 volts. I think we have room for 600 watts of panels on top of the rv. Is that enough, or do I size it for the whole 450ah capacity, which we will...
