    Victron multi plus 3000 battery bank size

    I didn’t consider the lead acid aspect, that makes sense. We plan to use an inverter generator during heavy loads and to charge the bank. In a couple months I will add 600w of solar to the roof to minimize generator use.

    Victron multi plus 3000 battery bank size

    I started reading the manual for the Victron multi plus 3000 and I noticed it shows a minimum battery bank of 400ah. I’m assuming this has to do with maximum discharge current but that’s just a guess. I am planning a 3-100ah SOK battery bank for my system as I’ve seen others using it. Is there...

    Choosing inverter size for RV

    I realized that after I posted but thanks for pointing it out. I considered 24v but I don’t know that it’s really necessary for my situation. Seeing as this is my first system I think 12v just gives me one less thing to screw up.

    Choosing inverter size for RV

    On a 400 ah battery bank in a 30 amp RV would you choose the 2000 or 3000 watt Victron multi plus? I’m leaning towards the 2000 for the smaller size but I’m a little worried I might regret it if I decide to go to a bigger system in the future. My plan is to install 4 100ah SOKs with an...

    Best AC charging system for 100ah portable system

    Hmmm that’s a good thought too. It would simplify it a little and I wouldn’t have to place the power supply in the box. I could just keep it external and add the same connector that the panels use. my entire goal with this is to power a 12v fridge in my work truck, power the fridge, my cpap...

    Best AC charging system for 100ah portable system

    Thanks for the info! Just to be completely clear, if I were to use an 18v laptop charger would I disconnect the solar input and connect the charger in its place?

    Best AC charging system for 100ah portable system

    I’ve been doing a ton of research on building a portable power pack for camping. That research has led me to order a 100ah SOK battery to set up with a 10-20a mppt solar charge controller and 200 watts of panels. The one thing I can’t figure out is the best way to charge the system via AC. I’ve...
