    Looking for All-in-One Recommendation for Motorhome

    I was referring to a RV 50a service, yes rv 30 amp is single phase. I would start with a tone generator or circuit tracer cheap on amazon to map your electrical sys. I doubt the generator has the 20a circuit open as this would damage your voltage regulator or windings or both. You never know...

    Looking for All-in-One Recommendation for Motorhome

    it is typical when not plugged in to 30a shore power that only one a/c unit will operate as of the load schedule. open elect main box remove two bays-take 2 breakers out that are next to each other, run generator and check voltage on the 2 hot dissimilar bus bars. if one is only working. plug...

    Looking for All-in-One Recommendation for Motorhome

    the 20a & 30a both go to the main panel. in a class a RV the main panel has 2- 120v hot bus bars, inline alternating, every other breaker bay is on the 20a or 30a 120v bus bar, the inverter output feed will be wired to only one of those bus bars to configure a correct load as well as the 12v...

    200Amp or 280 /310 amp for RV Battery build

    What I'm thinking, is that my 36' RV, pretty much any RV, is so stable going down the road that the 280 ah cells are not going to be "Vibrated" and/or jounced around at all. in a 4x4 truck or even a passenger car, I could see a little vibrating and G forces on the cells. but, driving an RVs is a...

    Has anyone tried 280 Ah LiFePO4 to start engine at 1.5C?

    any specifics on the super capacitor that you are referring to? someone else was also suggesting using a lead acid instead of a cap. im trying to build 2 parallel LiFePo4 280ah 4s + 2 BMS battery system for a 36' RV, 2500w inverter and now thinking adding it in parallel my to my 2x 6v lead acid...

    Golf cart batteries on solar?

    The Costco/Interstate 6v 210Ah @ 20Hr: golf cart batteries I am currently using, you definitely don't want to go below 50% discharge or you'll kill them. $89.99 +Tax is a good value but don't expect them to last more than 2yrs, and with only a 1 year Costco warranty, I think Interstate and...

    Correct Battery Torqueing???

    I like the idea of using original JB Weld as it actually has metal powder in the epoxy. As long as you Applied to the inside threads and not accidentally the face of the terminal. I would think no more than 4nm on stud from the lubricant prop of the epoxy. Where do you get the braided bus bars?

    Correct Battery Torqueing???

    I will try to find the video again for you, Guy in vid was torqueing at 35 in lb with a screwdriver looking torque wrench, if I remember correctly he previously used thread lock and probably didn't take into account the lube factor. probably originally over Tq that lead to a strip. I have...

    Correct Battery Torqueing???

    yes thread lock was used in the vid. thread lock should never be used! I believe its the same video you're referring to.

    Correct Battery Torqueing???

    on a recent video i have now seen stripping at 35 INCH lbs. :mad: I will start at 25 INCH LBS and end with 30" lbs and leave it that. ?✌️

    Cell terminal bolt torque - you might be wrong!

    So after a general consensus I’m thinking 35 foot pounds of torque will be a sufficient enough of downward pressure for 6M and 8M Nuts/bolts Without a problem of stripping. Thank you! Post torque, Does anybody use the battery terminal spray to seal the terminals from corrosion? My battery build...

    Correct Battery Torqueing???

    What is the correct torque on a 6-M and an 8M Stud? My life as an electrical contractor tells me... 1) Over torqueing will strip the threads that could lead to an under torque situations 2) Under torqueing could cause funky random resistance, heat buildup and bad stuff happening!? This...

    Has anyone purchased/tested the lifepo4 310ah from aliexpress yet ?

    I go dry camping and thought 310ah would give me a little more time before turning on the generator for a charge. Have you heard anything bad on the 310s? are they too new? how do i find pricing from Amy Wan or Michael B Caro Thank you
