    Do I need a 24 volt converter for a 24 volt device on my 24 volt system?

    Nah, I've got other AC loads in addition to this thing. It's a Resmed Airmini CPAP. Thing is I normally power the inverter off when I'm not using it. So running a 2000 watt inverter all night when I'd otherwise have it switched off means I'm using power to have the inverter on in addition to the...

    Do I need a 24 volt converter for a 24 volt device on my 24 volt system?

    I've got plenty of AC loads including lightweight lapidary equipment, some kitchen stuff, etc. I'm setting up 600watts solar panels to about 500ah DIY battery, a 12|24 volt B to B, 2000 watt 24 volt inverter. I want to go 24 volt to allow a smaller charge control and lighter wires and a cooler...

    Do I need a 24 volt converter for a 24 volt device on my 24 volt system?

    I'm building a 24 volt system in my van. My CPAP machine runs on 120vac, but there's a DC converter available (for $90!) with a cigarette lighter plug "65 watt DC DC converter." It says the plug can be used in 12 or 24 volt systems. Reading the specs, the adapter has a 12A/250V fuse, input is...

    Hello from Ohio

    I'd like to take you up on that offer to swing by once the van is here and I'm getting ready to actually buy stuff. Regarding the all Victron system, it seems to me that once the system reaches a degree of complexity, or if the need/desire for automation is high then the benefits of a unified...

    Hello from Ohio

    Hey back! I keep bouncing back and forth between Victron and cheaper alternatives. I think I'll end up with a mix, the Victron B2B and MPPT, but a cheaper 24 volt inverter (recommended by Will Prouse) because with 700 watts of solar on the roof and B2B charging I don't think shore power is a big...

    Hello from Ohio

    Hi there, I'm getting ready to put a solar and B2B powered system in a Transit van. My rough plan is a 24 volt system with three 200 watt panels and appropriate MPPT charge controller, a Victron 12 to 24 volt B2B charger, 280 ah / 24 volt Chinese DIY battery with a good BMS, and a 2000 watt...
