    24v to 12v: who makes the most reliable converter?

    You’re correct. That was horribly written by me. I have all my solar equipment, I don’t have the devices that will be powered by it. IE fridge, fans etc.

    24v to 12v: who makes the most reliable converter?

    I want to run a 12v fridge, some fans and led lights. I don’t have specific power requirements as I haven’t built it yet so I am guessing. I have all my equipment, just haven’t started, I have 2x206ah SOK at 24v. Max draw is 100a.

    24v to 12v: who makes the most reliable converter?

    Funnily enough, this is what’s swimming around my Amazon Shopping Cart. I do think this is the route I’m leaning towards.

    24v to 12v: who makes the most reliable converter?

    I have followed a lot of advice from various people. My buying decisions have been based on recommendation but some have been fairly spontaneous. When it comes to the 24v to 12v buck I went with an Amazon special recommended on Will Prowse‘s webpage. Is there a better option? Victron maybe...

    Would a 40a mega or anl fuse work for this application?

    I really appreciate it. So one last question (for now lol). The Breaker at the SCC, considering the SCC is a 150/70 and max charge will be set at 40a, should I keep the 80a breaker to protect the SCC or reduce it to 50a to protect the BMS?

    Will the victron allow me to set the max charging rate in the app? That would allow me to keep the current SCC and not have to return and rebuy.

    So if My calculations are accurate, the 150/45 will cap out the potential max amps out to 45a? The potential max amps out of my current SCC would be 58.46a. This wouldn’t overdrive the 150/45 SCC and the 100/50? I am starting to get the idea that Victrons SCC naming are max voltage In / max amps...

    I thought i would give it a bit of future expansion capacity but if you think I’m going to over cook things then by all means I will change it. I haven’t opened any items yet so they are all returnable. Do you think 1200w is too much or could I be wiring this differently to be more efficient...

    As alway, you’re a wealth of information. I will size my fuses accordingly. Back to Amazon I go lol.

    No it wasn’t actually. I thought I had caught the omission before anyone else did Lol. I am still learning, when you say the SOK is rated for 100a. What do you mean? Is that max discharge amperage? And they will only charge at 50a max? Regardless of multiple batteries and the wiring config? Is...

    There is an 80amp breaker between the CC and the bus bar. Would I need an additional? Also, the pictures, is this the Lynx Distributor? thanks!

    Good morning, can you guys take a look at this very rough mspaint schematic of the system I’m intending to install on my cargo trailer? I have most of the parts already. 2 x 206ah SOK LiFepro4 batteries in series for 24v. 300a ANL on the positive. Battery disconnect switch on the negative (Or...
