    MPP Solar LV6548V 500v is not a "Hybrid?"

    Hi, I'm trying to learn about this model. Does it not have the built-in capability to combine multiple energy sources and same level of flexibility and integration as a hybrid inverter like the HYBRID LV 6048? Thank you.

    LiTime 48V Battery Balancer For 24V/36V/48V Battery Bank

    I wonder if anyone has any thoughts, warnings, comments about using this product to balance LiTime 12V 230Ah Plus LiFePO4s? And it's true this Balancer can be used to balance 24v banks of these 12v batteries, as well as 48v banks of them? Thank you! (ps, I would provide a link, but I don't...

    New LV6548V 500v, reliability, standby consumption?

    Hi I'm thinking of getting several of these for use as single units individually as well as paralleled for a large array, as well as some kept as spares. At one point this was Will Prowse's favorite AIO from MPP Solar. Still I wonder? Any comments on reliability, idle power consumption, or...

    Would you charge 12v LiFePo4s with these chargers?

    Hi folks, Thanks for the forum. For the health of the batteries and if you had a choice, would you charge 12v 230 ah LiFePo4s with either of these chargers? The first one I just got but haven't used yet. It supposedly provides different voltages depending on agm/lead, lithium, or LiFePo4...

    Discharging NOT Charging a 12v LiFePo4 with Old Mod. Sine Wave Inverter Ok?

    I have an old Everstart 400w modified sine wave car (cigerette lighter) inverter. I have new 12v LiFePo4 batteries. Does it damage them at all to discharge them individually with this inverter? Not charge, just discharge? Would the same go for an old 12v pure sine wave inverter designed for...

    Higher amps hurt effectiveness of Built-in BMS of 12V LiFePO4s in Parallel?

    RE : paralleling Litime 12V 230Ah Plus LiFePO4s Hi and thank you. I’m planning on making several SEPARATE 12v battery banks, and I’m trying to decide whether 4 of these batteries in parallel is my max bank size, or 6 of these is, and specifically whether the extra amps/current of 6 parallel in...

    “Break free of 4S4P” w/ Multiple Battery Banks?

    Hello, Happy New Year! Thanks so much for the forum and please check my thinking on this plan. Apparently too much “togetherness” in DC circuits, as perhaps in life, is problematic. Is some kind of automatic battery bank switch/switcher the answer? Please just assume for a moment someone...

    1 EG418KPV: supplying it's multiple mppt inputs from a large SINGLE solar array?

    Hi, thanks for help. I'm looking at getting a EG4 18KPV Hybrid Inverter and making one solar array of 55 panels: each string w/ 11 panels in series, w/ the 5 strings paralleled. Array: 20kw / 41 amps / 487 volts. (Panels are REC 365AAs). One pair properly-sized positive and negative DC...
