    Inverter/Charging for Food Truck

    Well the payoff isn't great because I'd be charging during off-peak hours, so it's only 9 cents/Kwh. The 1000w system would save me about $60 per summer. Total system cost would be around $1300 (if I go with an all-in-one) The battery system will be 544ah at 24v

    Inverter/Charging for Food Truck

    The solar will only be around 800w-1000w on the roof of the trailer so we'll be primarily charging via grid power. The solar is mostly to make it a tiny bit greener while our grid moves from coal to wind. Thanks yea that makes sense to me that no minimum charging is required for lithium.

    Inverter/Charging for Food Truck

    Well, it definitely wasn't a question of simplicity or even economics. The reasoning came down to: 1) It can't be loud. Both for some of our parking spots and for my partner (ie wife/boss). The quiet generators with a rating I need are already at least $3k-$5k up here in Canada. The battery...

    Inverter/Charging for Food Truck

    Yea that's a good point on using the two inverters. My failsafe was just going to be a backup generator (so like a normal food truck) so if any part of the system fails or isn't operating normally I'd bypass the battery system entirely with the generator (not IF but probably when..). I do agree...

    Inverter/Charging for Food Truck

    Hi folks, I'm building a battery system for a food truck/trailer. I'm waffling on my inverter/charger size. I'm having trouble finding a clear answer on a few things so maybe you can answer these questions for me. System info Energy requirements: 2200w continuous (1700w actual X 1.25) and 4700w...
