That's what I ordered, it'll be in partial shade so I hope its enough for this setup. Finally batteries and panels are getting more affordable but the other stuff they keep on gouging. Invertors and controllers are crazy high preventing many from affording a decent safe system.

Looks like I should be shopping for a bigger scc

I bought 2 of these used 330watt panels.will this charge controller work ok with my 12 volt lifepo4 battery. It's a 20 amp 12/24 volt. I'm afraid the amps could exceed the 20 amps in full sun. I bought the controller for 2 -100 watt panels wired in parallel. I will now use the 2 -330 watt...

Listen to these people. Controllers are so cheap and versitle

Why isn't there a high amperage cigarette lighter type plug? Male and female ends to connect to higher output devices like invertors? Seems like a need now days for something new that would only require simple spade or ring terms on the other end. Could be a big seller with all the diy boxes...

I suppose. I can buy a soldering iron, and vice or use vice grips. Was hoping to spend less and simplify. Not sure why a decent guage extension cord wouldn't work. Along with a quality plug. Everyone wants to sell expensive terms and proprietary crimpers. I'm not making dozens but just one.

Will a crimper like this work or do I need their 50 dollar one?

Ideas for a cheap simple plug in and out from my battery buss bar to an invertor. It will be rarely used but would like something better than the car jumper type cable ends that came with the inverter. Is it ok to wire a heavy gauge extension cord end? Female to buss bar male to inverter. It'll...

Sounds good. I'll have to locate a switch and probably some kind of plug for the portable battery.

They will both have independent chargers. Just looking for a simple switch and plug in for the new battery box to the old one on the RV hitch.

I just bought a new 200 amp Lifepo4 to build into a portable self contained box. Including solar charge controller, battery monitor, ect to wheel around while camping this allowing more sun in my usaully shady campsites. I will continue to boondock with my existing golf cart batteries for...

Yes that kills the light and turns it back on. Thank you

Well this is what I think I'll go with ordering tomorrow. Hope it's good for my small system. AiLi Battery Monitor Voltmeter Ammeter Voltage Current Meter 8-80V 0-100A Auto Car Motor Boat Caravan RV Motorhome...

Shunt meter like I use on my lead battery? DC Power Meter, DROK 6.5-100V 100A 12V 24V 36V 48V 60V 72V Volt Amp Watt Meter, LCD Display Multimeter Voltage Current Energy RV Battery Monitor Voltmeter Ammeter Wattmeter Panel with 100A Shunt...

Moving from golf cart to lithium. 200 watts of solar going to 200 amp Ampere Time LiFePO4 battery. To be used for minimal needs boondocking, say 100 amps a day or less. I will be putting this into a portable tool box for now as a supplement to my still decent golf cart batteries to extend my...
