thanks! yes I checked with them, and I can connect the batteries in series!

there's a couple options but I got the "Victron Energy Orion-Tr Smart 12/24-Volt"

hmm... well I'll probably never use the max load anyway, and ~2400W is plenty

quick question regarding BMS... I have 2 200ah LifePo4 batteries that I'll connect in series with a 100a BMS each. Is the maximum discharge rate then 200a (100a BMS + 100a BMS) * 24V ~4800W? or am I limited to 100a *24V because each BMS can only handle 100a?? just want to make sure I'm not...

thanks! yes I also have a disconnect for the solar panels that I don't show. the extra charger is actually not a charger... it's a 24v air conditioner!

I actually run the batteries in series, but I thought about the same. Thanks for pointing this out. So I would have 2 terminal fuses on the battery, one for the bus bar and one for the inverter?

got it! the inverter actually asks for a 2AWG in the manual so that should be fine there. I might upgrade to 2/0 for in between the batteries and to the bus bars.

Thanks! Yes, I have a 500A shunt I forgot to add to the diagram! I don't think I'll ever max out this system... the biggest draw from the inverter would be my induction cook top with around 1800W, and I can plan to not use the AC at the same time. One concern was around he wire size... do you...

Hi there! currently planning out my electrical system, and would love to get some feedback on my wiring diagram... is this going to work out or will it blow up in my face? lol

B2B: yes I was thinking about that since the cable is going to fairly long as well. Thanks! Fuses: That's interesting. So for every load that goes from the bus bar to the source, you'd recommend installing a mega fuse? ATS: yes, and I've decided to give the Growatt 3000 a chance.

oh my mistake.... that should say 32A. Thanks for pointing that out!

Thanks for the input! The main reason are my 620W, high voltage solar panels. I couldn't find a reasonable priced MPPT with 120+V and 50+A. I also decided to try the Growatt 24V SPF 3000TL to keep the costs low as it acts as inverter/charger/ATS.

help! :)

Here's a better quality picture!

Hi! I'm currently building out my van to a camper, and just recently started planning my electrical system. I spent quite some time watching videos on youtube, reading books and other sources on the web. I've attached my preliminary wiring diagram, and would really appreciate anyone's input...

luckily my roof is flat, and I also have an AC unit in the back so height is not really a concern. Drive through windows are not an option for me lol

yes these panels are 65" long and my van is around 60+ at the top. the panels would be a little bigger than my roof but those 2 inches on each side wouldn't bother me. I have a sprinter 3500.

here are the specs: lmp: 8.36A Vmp: 31.1V lsc: 8.87A Voc: 38V so they should work, thanks!

I also just found these solar panels: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/for/d/magemount-boviet-pv-solar-module-panel/7161626993.html I was thinking about putting 2 of these on my van... would they work with the AC200?

Thank you, that helps. I'm planning on running the following in my van: - fridge - lights - fans - water pump - water heater - charging phones, laptops, cameras,... and I probably missed a couple things since I just started planning. This topic is still really new to me, and I realized there's...

ok good to know :)

I found these on wish.com https://www.wish.com/product/5e913edc31df402fba8034c1, and I'm wondering if they would be a good fit for my camper van... I've never used wish.com before but the price seems to be really good!

Hello! I'm still new to the world of solar, and just recently decided to get a Bluetti AC200. My plan is to install 2x300w solar panels on the roof of my van. What I'm still struggling is, is how to connect things like my lights to the Bluetti. Basically everything that doesn't have a normal...

It's still hard for me to estimate how much power I will need actually need. The only negative for the Bluetti is the lack of flexibility I think. I might just start with the Bluetti and build the van to be able to upgrade to a DIY system in the future if needed. I should be able to fit 4 of...

Thanks for your quick reply! Here is the link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bluetti-ac200-most-versatile-solar-power-station#/ I know it's indiegogo, but the company is well know and in the business for 10 years, so I don't have any concerns with that.

Hello, I'm just starting a project to convert a van to a camper, and just came across this forum. At the same time if also found out about the Bluetti AC200 which currently sells for $1,199 for a limited time. I've been watching a lot of Will's videos, and since I'm still new to all of this...
