Thank you for taking the time to respond. This is very helpful. I appreciate your effort(s).

This info is really helpful. My pressing questions have been answered. I appreciate your help!

Yes, sorry. The duo-charge essentially monitors the LFP and once fully charged will overflow into the starting AGM on that engine.

Correct, the single panels are currently wired in parallel.

I tested each panel with my multimeter and was able to determine good voltage on each. My meter doesn't test DC current so I wasn't able to get a reading on that. I tested my system by pulling up the batteries on my BMS app with a standard load on the system. For us this included: 12v Fridge...

Hello everyone, I posted the message below in the marine forum a few days ago and haven't had a response. Just hoping I might find some help/expertise here. Kindly, Good afternoon everyone, We recently (last week) upgraded our 680ah of AGM to 780ah of LifePo4 and are now turning our...

Good afternoon everyone, We recently (last week) upgraded our 680ah of AGM to 780ah of LifePo4 and are now turning our attention to our panels as they don't seem to be keeping up/charging sufficiently. The existing panel configuration is: 2 - 165watt panels 4 - 100 watt panels I'm...

I'm wondering if anyone has done a thorough tear-down comparison between the AIMS and SOK 200 a/h batteries. I'm upgrading my AGMs on my sailing catamaran and like the AIMS, SOK batteries. I haven't been able to determine how AIMS attaches their terminals to the case top and am still waiting...

I believe it would be possible. I have plenty of storage space available.

Snoobler - thank you. your reply was very helpful and pointed me in the right direction for continuing my research. Diysolar123 - Thank you, that tool may prove useful. newbostonconst - I agree, it would be really neat to convert a/c heat to hot water. My diesel engines do this now but it is...

Hello, My family and I recently purchased a sailing catamaran and we are experiencing challenges with power generation/storage and are hoping to find some help. Here are the existing system specs: 6 - 6v 220ah batteries (I don't know how to test battery capacity/efficiency but am growing...

Thank you all. I will proceed with looking for a new inverter. Suggestions on brand, etc. are welcome. Can I ask for more clarity on the wattage max suggestion? Is 3000w asking too much out of a 12v system? My cables are pretty beefy (4/0 I believe). We don't use a microwave and the largest...

Hello DIY Solar Community, I am trying to determine if an inverter that I inherited on a sailing catamaran is salvageable or if it is a lost cause. Backstory: The inverter is a 3000w pure sine inverter. I do not know the brand and am assuming it is on the lower end spectrum as far as quality...
