I was wondering what everyone was doing for high current alternator charging. I've been looking into it a lot recently and I think for the most part I'm mostly worried about the longevity of my alternator. My current battery bank can accept 200A continuous charging current and if I wire that...

I know Will P pretty heavily endorses SOK batteries and I was wondering if there was a discount or group buy code for this forum?

Long story short, I'm currently planning out my camper's electrical system and want to include plans for alternator charging. Now I know that Victron makes the Smart BMS but from what I can see theres no way to tie it into the Cerbo Touch GX system (VE Bus or VE Direct) to see the current coming...

Currently in the planning phase of my "final" solar setup. I was reading up on the wiring, and found this https://solarpanelsvenue.com/mixing-solar-panels/ Long story short it seems to say that a solar array is ultimately limited by the panel with lowest current. Is this actually the case? And...

Hey guys, currently have a pretty simple setup with on 300ah LifePO4 and an Amazon inverter, but am in the planning phases of my "final" configuration. I was originally planning on doing a 48V battery bank for the solar benefits (more wattage potential) and using a Daygreen DC to DC converter to...

So I'm looking at this basic PV Combiner Box and noticed it listed different watt capabilities based on the Battery Bank voltage. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F5HDP2W/ref=twister_B07J42LCSH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 I'm curious as to how the PV Combiner Box max wattage is affect by the battery...

So I've been shopping for a Charge Controller for a little while now. I'd like to end up with all Victron components so that I can use the GX Touch Display. Now I was planning on doing the 150/70 VE.Can Charge Controller but some of the wording on the webpage threw me off. It says "The MPPT...

I built a small battery bank for a very specific project, which consisted of 4x 16ah lifepo4 batteries wired in parallel. I've had the bank for a while now but never had the ability to test capacity. I finally got a Renogy battery monitor and during the calibration realized that my batteries...

So I seem to be a bit confused at the moment. Looking at charge controllers and I've noticed that Victron has controllers that are rated up to 250V "Maximum PV open circuit voltage". My main question is, is this high voltage rating for large Solar systems that are all wired in Series? I was...

I was wondering if there was an Inverter charger that is kind of the "go to" for a lot of the Off Grid setups? I don't mind using 2 separate devices but would be nice if I could have both in one.

I was originally planning on building my own batteries with 280AH cells but I recently found these, and was wondering if anyone had any experience or advice regarding them...

So I'm looking to do a decent sized Solar setup on the roof of my Travel Trailer. Originally I was thinking that I would buy a couple of the pre-packaged, multi panel kits from Amazon, something like the 4x100w Renogy kit. Hoping to get somewhere around 1500w I was planning on running 4 sets of...

So I just got back from a dry camping (off grid) camping trip and I can certainly say I need a new battery. Not only is my battery a Lead Acid, but its only 55Ah or so. We used electric stuff very sparingly and the battery was still dead in no time. I'd like to "future proof" my camper setup a...

I was wondering what everyone uses for "plug in" LiFePO4 chargers. Best I could find on Amazon was 5.5 Amps. Was wondering if there was a 10amp option, and what everyone else recommends?

Hi guys, I'm fairly new here, but doing my best to pick up info as fast as possible. Planning on building a fairly large battery bank for my tow behind camper. I'm thinking I'm going to DIY build 2 of the 280Ah setups from a Moderator here that goes by the username Craig. My question is...

Hi guys, I was just wondering what everyone's opinion was regarding setting up large-ish battery banks. Thinking I want to end up somewhere between 300 and 400ah. Couple options I've thought about. 2x 200ah Mighty Max= 400ah at $2200 20x 16ah=320ah at $1000 Building my own Battery Pack. This...

So I recently purchased a new to me camper, and am going to be dry camping a fair amount. I have gone a couple times now, and the battery that came with the camper seems to be dying about every other day. Not the end of the world because I bought a fairly nice generator to charge it back up in...
