Thanks for the diagram, Fran

THanks, I was thinking, on my work on 12v vehicles, nothing shuts things down like a weak ground. Maybe ground disconnect is best.

I bought a battery disconnect switch, bright red with a on/off switch. I’ve seen them on solar set ups, on the red pos wire off the battery. The paperwork with the unit shows it on the neg wire side. Are both acceptable?

Some might remember 4/22 I began to trash through details for my 24v 2000 watt system. I had an idea of a portable system that fell apart. Two 200 watt 24v panels do not move easily. I then tried to find a place in my home/property that would be close to areas where I would use the juice...

Hi , go to the begining of this post,' 24 volt blueprints missing". About 3 posts down is Rednectec's post with the links, 2000w and 3000w. Also ,same topic, check out Survival Llly, she has a vid about her 24v system.

Yes, that is attractive, what is an issue is I have a 220v down the well now, and not sure if this would be tight with the current wires and pump lines in the well. Is it easier or a pump to draw or pump out? I'm thnking the pump is outside the well with a line going down to the water. I've got...

Diaphragm pump: Yes maybe, I just want a flow of water from 40 feet down. 24/12 volt: so the 24v pump would require a thinner wire, I'd be about 15 feet from the solar set up.

Yes, I've seen them at New England solar. I'd like to drop a say ,1/2" line down the well and pump out whats needed, maybe 4 gallons a day, which would/could be supplemented with rain water catchment. I do tend to think small, I'm working with 24v, 2000watt, 100ah 24v batteries and 500 watts solar.

Hi smoothyJoey, details: my solar system is portable, my well water starts at40 feet, and I’m wanting to have a way to extract some water in a grid down emergency. I’ve shyed away from trying 240v from a 24v 2000 watt system. Fran

First I'm not looking for the 'all in one' blueprints, Rednecktec has sent me the one I'm using. When I say the "set up"I'm thinking I don't see them because they may be in the process of upgrading.

Hi, one of my goals is a water pump to draw water from our well, I've heard a 24v pump is better. But I am set up with a step down to 12v system and little panel.

the 'all in one' is not the blueprint I'm following, Rednecktec send me the one I need.

Thanks, 2000 watt one. And these are the blueprints I was looking for.

Anyone know why these blueprints are gone, I was using them as a guide, anything wrong with the set up?

Thanks Mandy, I was just going to ask,” 24v or 12v water pump”. I’m assembling a 24v system, slowly.

How did you know I did this?

I have 2 Battleborn lithiums, thanks for holding my hand on this. Yes, a wall plug charger is $140.

Well said, I felt the need to hurry up, When starting my solar project and bought quickly. Should have slowed down and studied.

Thanks DThames, this is new to me. My battery system is 2 12v in series. As little as I kmow the device you pointed out looks like the guts to the system I mentioned. Got some studying to do. I'm assembling a portable 24v 2000 watt system, my 2 loose ends are: I could use a little(shallow well...

A 2000eu Honda, it seems to have settled down but would not start easily from the box. Fran

Ok smoothJoey, this does not seem to be expensive. my best idea was the EG4 24v 10amp 110v charger at $140. Fran

Is it possible to rig a gas 110v generator to charge a 24 volt battery system?

Hi Bud, contacted the shunt folks and they recommend a .5 amp fuse in the positive line.

Hi Mr Martin, I called the service dept on this shunt, and they recommend a .5 amp fuse on the positive wire.

I was going to put an extension on the levering handle but it was unnecessary.

Hi WYT, you gave me the idea, this works fine.

Now that Ihave a lever crimped I see what your saying, my first crimp had wings, I’ll rotate as you suggest, thanks.

Just rec’d the new crimped and it set the terminal strongly, cannot be budged. The accompanying wire cutters cut #4 effortlessly.

When I first examined my first crimper I thought top and bottom pressure alone seems lacking. I can visualize a 3 or even 4 direction crimp that would be good, but we will see . O

I see where that would help, again I never thought you needed to rotate the terminal and double crimp.

I might have given up too soon, it never occurred to me to rotate and recrimp.

Thanks, I did choose a lever crimper, hope it works. If I would just remember to slow down and do some checking before I buy it would help, at least returns are easy. I believe this is called learning. Fran

Hi WYT, I was all set this A M to crimp terminals and mount my system. The crimper is simple, but 3 try’s, with proper terminals and wire size,left a crimp that would not hold the wire. The instructions say you can loose pressure and to pump it to regain pressure but that didn’t work. It’s...

So be it Corndog, I’ve been around a while understand this type of conversation. we will see where it all leads. Solar power might be very handy, take care. Fran
