Got it! I wasn't familiar with on-board generators. Then it totally makes sense

Wow, so then are you supposed to charge it regularly? I checked my Honda EM6500SX manual again and it states:

Thank you @time2roll ! Another good thing about NOCO, they have extension cables so it is easy to run the cable outside and make a watertight connection Have a great day everyone!

Many thanks @Supervstech Great idea for the charging solution! In my case the house is completely off grid and I have a 40kw lithium battery bank, so I will just keep the charger/maintainer plugged into a 120v outlet. 1. Will there be any conflict between the generator native charger and the...

Hi all! I have Victron Cerbo GX relay controlling my Honda EM6500SX generator, that requires to keep the generator switch in the ON position and (as per the generator manual https://cdn.powerequipment.honda.com/pe/pdf/manuals/00X31Z236200.pdf) it causes the battery to discharge. The last...

I live in an off-grid house, currently I have a 24v system with a Magnum 4kw inverter. Now I'm upgrading to 48v system and planning to move the existing one to my garage, but make it mobile (install the batteries and inverter on a cart), so I can move it around the property for work. What would...

You are so great snoobler, I appreciate you taking time to answer all my questions in details! Thanks for the links as well! And thanks for this forum, it is a wonderful place for solar DIYers.

Thanks a lot snoobler, your help is so much appreciated I'm checking all the links in your signature, it is a whole library :) Yes to 75A and 6awg connecting each MPPT to bus bar. It will be 60A from each charge controller and 180A to the battery bank. I could not find a quality 75A fuse, so I...

Thank you very much Snoobler, this is very helpful. 2. 6awg is good for 55-75A depending on insulation rating. 20' run one-way will have a 2% voltage drop. Your fuse size should be 1.25X max continuous current. Since this is going to be between each charge controller and a bus bar, the length...

Hi all, I'm happy to find this super useful forum. I'm upgrading my current solar setup which has 1 array of 4 x 235W panels ( Voc 37v, Isc 8.6a), Outback 150v/60A charge controller, 24v battery bank and Magnum 4000w 24v inverter Because the parts I ordered will come at different times, I'm...
