I first made a mobile hand truck system with two 100 amp hr lifepo4 batteries. It was great but I wanted more power, so I got 2 more batteries and converted the whole thing to a garden cart format. The batteries are wired in series parallel so it is 200 amps at 24 volts. I live about 13 miles from San Tan Solar, so I am going over there to look at some pv panels. They are selling 250 watt panels for $58 each (used obviously) but even if they have degraded to 80% that is still 200 watts per panel which is double what I have now with my HQST panels.
my questions are these:
Will the 2 new Zooms batteries at$319 each really be as good as the SOK batteries I already had which cost $570 each?
I am now running a load off the generator while charging from pv at the same time. Will my shunt account for the input as well as the output and calculate SOC correctly?
