    Lv2424 inverter idle power consumption

    I want to run a mini fridge with my inverter, how much power does the inverter use when the refrigerator is off? I tead somewhere between 40-60 watts. But not sure if this is per hour. Or in a 24 hour period. How many amp hours would idle consumption use in 12 hours?

    Is my cell dead?

    Looks like 10 amps is the magic number. I’m gonna see what happens. Hopefully things will straighten out. Thanks for the help.

    Is my cell dead?

    I have an overkill solar bms, along with a heltec cell ballancer. I have a green mpp charger/ controller/inverter. Not sure what’s going on. I’ve been using my system for months now. I took my battery all the way down about a week ago, to bms shut off. Never had a problem charging up my...

    I am always fantasizing about having a energy efficient air conditioner for van life, anyone seen any concepts in tech news or anything?

    I found this mini split unit on Alibaba. Another guy on the forum has mounted one in his van and says they are good. The one the guy purchased was an all in one unit. The condenser and the evaporator are mounted on the wall of a van or truck right next to each other. The one I found is a mini...

    I was thinking about putting one of these in my van, but I didn’t like the fact that the fan stayed on continuously. They have thermostats that you can plug into an outlet; when the temperature is reached the outlet will shut the power off to the unit. If you shut off power to this unit all of...

    The 12 V model is less btu. I was told the unit can be run horizontally, and could be mounted underneath a van

    Modified or Pure sine wave inverter?

    Do you think a modified sine wave will run a mini fridge? I have an mppt lv2424 but I would like to get a smaller inverter dedicated to the refrigerator and wire it to the thermostat so there is not a constant power drain on my batteries.

    There are a lot of 12, and 24 units on Alibaba. They are between 7000 BTU in 13000btu. They have models that fit under the dash. You can mount the condensers under the van

    I am always fantasizing about having a energy efficient air conditioner for van life, anyone seen any concepts in tech news or anything?

    I was checking out these units. What I like is you can shut off power to these units, and they remain programmed. I was thinking of using a temperature controlled plug, so you can set low and high temperature cut offs; to save on power consumption. The third ac on the list is a dc compressor...

    I bought the green MPP all in one unit. In the manual it says I need a secondary Over current protector or disconnect device. Doesn’t my overkill BMS account for this. Thank you
