    All in one 24v system with 12v dc to 24v dc charger - first van build

    one thing to consider with the induction stove top ,the higher the power level the quicker it cooks ,so say you do have a 1k inverter (which probably could run a induction stove top at 1200 watts) it will just make your expresso take longer to make, my expresso at 1400 watts is done in less than...

    Issues with my first 18650 build (24v PCB 7s2p holders).

    Aliexpress listings how can I know if its new.

    ask them either by chat or call them,its always good to acknowledge communication with the seller,you can also ask them to match the cells but they may charge a few more bucks for it, but worth the extra dollars

    https://batteryhookup.com/products/25kwh-480v-split-phase-500-1000vdc-solar-inverter-60hz this looks like you can add as many panels as you need but how do you control the 480volts to work in a off grid set up ?
