My setup is as follows... Four 335 panels for a total of 1340 watts, 100 amp Epever SCC, Ginadel inverter 12v 4000w 8000w peak. Two Renogy gel hybrid 200ah batteries. I need a good reliable setup to save my batteries from dropping too low in voltage and or over charging. I am looking for a...

Can someone recommend a good solution for a cut off/ relay/ or FET? And how it is wired into the system?

THANK YOU!!! It then asks on the next screen "set battery rating" it is a 200AH Is that the number rating the tester wants? It allows you to set a number between 100A and 2000A and the setting listed below. It is a hybrid Gel but I'm not sure if that is the setting the tester...

yes in that test but I just put in an arbitrary number in the initial settings just to see what it would do. I dont know what standard I am suppose to be using for this type of battery. No idea if it suppose to be CCA or what.. like the list listed in the first post Basically what i need...

I fear a battery might be failing and Renogy wants a photo of an internal resistance test on my Renogy 12v 200ah battery. I bought a tester a Konnwei KW 208 I am having trouble in the settings part of the tester. I don't know what number to input in the "SET BATTERY RATING" and which...

I did a pretty thorough search and I couldn't find the info I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have two Renogy 200ah 12v batteries. I am trying to test the capacity with the same tester Will uses in a video he made. I have everything hooked up but I am unsure if I need a fuse...

I hope i havent been abusing them. I assume the system cuts off anything that goes below 50 percent in order to not damage the battery. I believe I set it in the charge controller or I remember it being set.

Renogy suggested taking the batteries to an auto parts store to measure the internal resistance and to take a photo of the numbers should there be a warranty issue. The problem is I live in the middle of nowhere and I don't know how capable the shop in town is. What is the resting voltage on...

I talked with Renogy tech support this morning and they gave me the numbers I need. It looks like my setup is correct by the number. Boost absorption is 14.2, Float is 13.8, Bulk/Boost return is 13.2 Next step is to test the batteries. I don't have a battery tester so I am going to take them...

Those are some of the issues I am trying to figure out. The profile is set for GEL and is correct for the batteries I am using. The bulk float settings I have not set manually and I am not entirely sure what is optimal for the setup I have. I do not have a battery charger as of yet. I plan...

Here is the battery to inverter to CC. I believe this is correct? The positive that goes to the inverter has a fuse on it as does the positive that goes to the charge controller also has a fuse.

Hi, thanks for the help! Any help is much appreciated. I'd like to get this system dialed in. I am pretty sure my batteries are wired in parallel. The batteries I have are the same are the same, two Renogy gel hybrid. I have one battery facing one way and one facing the other in order to...

just read through my Giandel and low and behold it is a 12/24.

SO.. it looks like I have the batteries wired incorrectly? Below in the photo is how they are wired and the photo you posted. Wire them in series 24V for 2 battery system? Get a step down? If so can you recommend a good step down?

here is what i have as far as wiring

I typed it exactly how it is from the book. 0.6A (24) yes... that may be the problem. I suppose I could leave it unplugged and use it only when needed....

NO Load currents 3A (12v) 06.A(24V) I shut off the inverter for now until I can get things figured out

First and foremost.. I am not the brightest bulb in the string but through sheer tenacity I usually get things figured out. That being said I am having a difficult time with my solar setup. The setup is a 12v system with two Renogy 200 hybrid batteries linked together. My charge controller is...

I'll check. I am also wondering how to set the input voltage. I have a pure sine Giandel unit 4000w to 8000 peak. I came home after one of the first sunny days and the thing was buzzing like a high pitch constant beep. I check the manual and it said "Inverter is in over voltage...

I hope so! The instructions with my EPEVER don't say anything specific about it nor does the MT50. I have read other peoples complaints about the instructions with these components. I am sure it says something in depth but I am too stupid to understand it. Ironically right when this...

Thank you everyone for helping me out with this! Got everything wired up. I decided to forgo the 240 line and run a 120 12/2 romex from the ATS to the breaker box and then out to the circuit. I have a circuit in my house panel open 20amp that I wired to the ATS. I have been running it for 3...

I do have a question regarding the ATS and the battery sensing wires. The ATS has a port for the battery sensing wire and I saw on a video a guy plugging that in. I plugged it in to the charge controller. My charge controller ports are all used by the MT50. What do you suggest regarding...

Thank you! Just curious how you set it up. Samsonite801 was a a huge help getting me familiar with my setup. My biggest obstacle was the house wiring and making it work where my solar set is. I didnt want to start running wires from hell to breakfast. I conveniently had a 220 dryer line...

do you have photos of how you set yours up? I havent got mine set up just yet.

So in the photo below I believe the areas I have text are correct. My question now are the grounds

yes right next to the solar setup. yes exactly how I was going to rig it. This was because the dry line is so close to the solar setup and the dry is being moved out to a garage.

hi, the auxiliary panel I planned on installing right next to my solar setup roughly 2 feet from the ATS and the rest of the setup. Here are a few photos of the box...

Is that breaker box a single leg box? I will take one leg off the dryer and disconnect the other leg at the house panel 30amp breaker. The wire size is 10 / 3. Run the leg to the ATS then from the ATS to the inverter I will run 12 /2. And from the outlet on the ATS to the appliances I will...

the inverter I have is the PS1003 2000w 4000w surge. Info in the pic below.

hi mine is the 11000w model shown in the photo below. Also pictured is my setup. This is a huge help! I can't get an electrician to come out and take a looksee and help. Our numbers here for Covid have gone up and people are picking and choosing jobs. frustrating. I am having to research...

yes, running from the ATS to 3 110 outlets. Running into the ATS one 220. I was running from the main house panel to the new 2 pole breaker box to the ATS then from the ATS out to the new 110 circuit and the inveter. I just want to use the dryer 30 amp 220 line to feed into first the breaker...

I don't do electrical wiring too often so I am asking for some help with wring this sub panel with a 20 amp breaker. I am wiring 8 gauge (or 10) 3 wires to the panel from a 30amp breaker in the main panel. It is the 220 line to the dryer. I am moving the dryer and the line is available...

Huge help! Those Home Depot boxes give me a good idea of what I need. Thanks for that link. I live 2 hours from a Home Depot or Lowes. But some of the stores here to a good job of stocking similar stuff. Just not as cheap.

YES! My idea is to connect to the OUTPUT of the ATS a circuit dedicated to only the appliances I want to switch over to solar should the power go out. My solar setup will not handle much more than what I mentioned above. So is my objective then running 12/2 romex from the output ATS to...

Here is what I have easily accessible as far as "public power". I would like to use the 220 dryer wire (8 gauge pictured below) since it is near my solar panel setup. I am moving the dryer to another location and this 220 line will not be used. It is on a 30amp breaker in the house panel...
