Wits' End
Old guy, wanting to learn new tricks.
I'm running my home from a basic 48v solar system. I'm off grid, have generator for backup charging. Or take to work for AC charging. I've found I sometimes need more, or portable power for a specific task.
Have watched lots of YouTube videos, and basic knowledge. I'll start off with my 'plans', add questions. Please comment, suggest, link to solutions or alternative ideas.
Looking at a large toolbox or weather resistant container. Ideally outside compartments or space inside for needed cords etc, so I can leave this for months or weeks, and have everything I need still in one spot.
*2x12v 100Ah batteries. Series for 24v
*Batteries will have BT BMS. Low temperature cutoff. I will add heating mat and insulation.
*It looks like most, USB, 12v sockets, etc. ports can be powered by 12-24v.
*I can use 24v to more quickly charge/power DC inputs, that allow 12-24-36v. Rather than 12v.
¿Best and economic way to get AC out and in?¿Thinking 1000-1500-2000 Watt inverter
¿20-50amp charger
¿Is there a decent- compact -economic inverter/charger available? <I do know pick 2 of the 3>
***I'm aware and plan on fusing and switching circuits, heavy/appropriate wire guage. Any other obvious & "common sense" things that are often missed?
Thank-you in advance, Herb [Wits' End]
