Ok guys I got it. My fault for not wiring it correctly. Thank you for your help! George

Thank you for your help!

It's still reading 13.3v...

Ok thanks I'll do it!

I have a Victron Battery Sense and it is reading the 24v system but the charge controller is not.

I have 4 batteries connected in a series.

Ok guys I'm here with another question! I just changed my battery bank from 12v to 24v because I just bought a 24v Victron Multi plus II. I went into my Victron app and changed the setting from 12 to 24v, but it still reads 13.18v on the app and on the charge controller. But when I put my meter...

Thank you!! I will sleep better to night! One more piece of the puzzle completed!

I have 4 lithium SOK 280 AH, I was planning on hooking the 4 batteries in a 24V system. With 4 batteries I will have 2 series connections(- to +). With only 1 "common" connection on the battery balancer. Does it matter which series connection I hook it to? Or will I need a second balancer? The...

It seems then that I can use the same extension cord I'm using now to power my portable battery charger that goes up to 40A charger.

I see that now! Thanks!

Thank you guys for all your help! But now that I'm going to get a new inverter (Victron MultiPlus-II 24/3000/70-50 120V) with it's own charger, what type of wire is best to use from my portable generator (3500) to the charger (I believe a 70a)?

Thank you!

Thank you Mister Sandals for your help. I have light usage here except when I run my vacuum cleaner once a year! Lol And I am going to upgrade the fusing.

Thank you Mister Sandals for bringing that to my attention. I was planning on using 2 gauge wire but I will follow Victrons wiring size.

Thank you Seneysolar! I have both the fuse and holder ordered! Have a nice weekend....

Well I bought a Victron MultiPlus-II 24/3000/70-50 120V (UL) to move forward with my project. So that leads me to what could be the dumbest question of all. Will this fuse work between my 24v inverter and my battery bank? 4 - SOK 12v 280amp batteries? I have used it in 12v applications before.

I am located in upstate NY.

I was considering those panels because they were 300w but also 18.2V. Inexpensive and a smaller foot print than the setup I have now. The link you sent me below is helpful thank you!

I see, yes that would be an option. Thank you! Also, the panels I was looking at above, are 300W. 6 would give me 1800W. With a new 24V inverter and my new 4 - SOK 12V 280Ah lithium Batt. should work also?? Am I correct?

These are the panels I was going to get until I remembered my 12V battery configuration.

The 2 panels to the right go to my solar freezer. They will be moved to a different location. The 6 panels to the right I am currently using. But I would like to replace them with more power. I really hate to replace the CC. But I am willing to get another inverter. Oh, The solar stand the...

I have 6 - 150A panels connected in a series (2S3P). 6 New panels or more if I can. I'll send pics of my current solar array.

I will invest in a 24V inverter now. Then I can go to 2000W? Hook all 4 batteries in series to 24V. Keep the panels at 24V that way I can keep the amps down. Do you think that should open me up to more options for larger panels?

I am not going to add panels. I'm going to use the old ones for a different project. I would rather buy a 24V inverter if that would help? And go 24V for the whole system.

I was planning to go fully 24V in the future. My panels are currently hooked up at 24V, but the batteries are not because of my inverter. I did see the CC could handle 2000W. But I'm am not sure if that means my panels at 24V or the batteries?? If its the batteries, maybe I can move up to a 24V...

I currently only have a 12V inverter.

Hello guys and gals, I currently have a Victron 150/70 charge controller. With 6 - 150A panels connected in a series (2S3P) My charge controller can handle up to 2000W @ 24V (but battery bank is 12V). I would to purchase 6 new panels. I am looking for suggestions on what 6 panels I can get...

I have running my cabin on 2 NPP AGM 200 amp hr batteries for 7 years. They have worked great.

Thank you for your help guys! I'll stay away from those.

Hello! I have looking at these 400W 12v panels on eBay. They are hard frame panels that are 20"X 26". I didn't know they made panels that small that put out 400W. Can somebody tell me if they do or is this some false advertising? Thank you! https://www.ebay.com/itm/374880460538

Thank you Lakehouse! Yes your right. It's been a while since I have done any solar work and I new there was another way of explaining it. Thanks!

Hi Guys! I am looking for recommendations for a combiner box. I need it to handle 8 - 250 w 12v panels. Does anyone recommend any combiner boxes that can handle 4 strings? 2 panels each connected in 4 series at 24v. Better explained (2s4p) Thank you and have a nice day!

Thank you for the eBay link!
