hi,
i'm building a portable power station based around an acquired 40ah Valence lifep04 battery.
use: mainly camping so - water pump, fridge, lighting and charging devices etc. 2nd use, 12v high pressure air compresser for 4wd & general backup power
i'm not currently considering an inverter as i'm trying to keep build cost & size down, and i want it to be watertight.
currently we have 200 watt solar (2x100 panels) in parallel to PWM solar charger and the usual assortment of outlets.
fusebox & power metre inc a shunt will arrive shortly to complete the setup
i'm struggling with: in vehicle charging and what i need. can i just run a 12v supply from a cigarret outlet direct to battery? or need something like a
Cyrix-Li-ct 12/24V-120A combiner
or is that overkill and adds to cost?
thanks in advance
