    Renogy 100 amp Controller Clone Missing User Manual

    Hey Everyone, Soooo… I bought this Renogy 100 amp MPPT Controller clone, and it came without the user manual. Surprise! Anyway, I am hoping someone in this group purchased one of these guys and can upload the manual. I purchased it on Amazon. Thanks in advance. ML Renogy Missing Manual

    Problems with system integration with new LiFePO4 batteries in an RV....

    Howdy All, It's Murph here and I have just upgraded from a 24v AGM battery stack (8 AGMS @ 100ah each) to a 16-cell stack made up of 280ah LiFePO4 cells. I am using (2) Daly 150amp BMS units for control. I am having trouble integrating the upgraded system, and can't get the batteries to...

    Upgrading AGM storage to LiFePO4...

    Hey Everyone, Well it's another year down and I am in the midst of the annual maintenance cycle for my 1997 Bounder. The solar panels and gantry have withstood the tests of time and even a small tornado, enough so to be pronounced 'Safe' and no longer a source of worry. I relocated the AIMS...

    New Idea For Tesla Battery Storage...

    Howdy Everyone, I have enjoyed my Solarsaurus Rex, and the Solar Gantry (Pat. Pend), the ability to run A/C and refrigeration on solar power in the desert has been liberating. That said, I have pretty much killed the (8) 12v AGM battery stack over the last 2 years. So, now that I have a proven...

    AMPINVT 24v/3000w Inverter/Chargers

    No... it tripped the DC breaker I installed on the Inverter. It's a 50A on a 24v system, so I am jumping up to a 75A. The AMPINVT literature is very vague about things like. the Inverter was only at 78% capacity. Mine is a 3000w inverter.

    AMPINVT 24v/3000w Inverter/Chargers

    I just got mine up and running... currently on line priority because my solar panels are not installed. My friend accidentally tripped the breaker while running the A/C and microwave simultaneously. Other than that I have noticed no issues and I am pleased with the product. I can't wait to get...

    Working on mounting options... 39" X 77" polycrystalline panels.

    Hey Guys, The work is progressing: I have constructed a box and installed a 24v battery bank beneath the forward dinette seats in a (2s,4p) configuration of (8) 12v - 100ah AGM batteries. Yes, I know the issues with AGM's in series and will be switching wires when the batteries get out of...

    Good Battery Management For AGMs...

    Hey All, I have a 24v AGM battery bank made up of (8) 12v - 100ah batteries all feeding a AMPINVT 3000w inverter. The wire runs are identical length with the pairs of batteries fused. They are set up in a 2s4p configuration using 5/16" 4-point busbars. How often should I check battery...

    BMS For AGM Battery Bank

    Hey Everyone, I finally finished turning my forward dinette bench into a very secure battery box to house my (8) 100ah AGM Batteries. I am wiring it together as a 24v bank using a 4-post distribution bar into 4 (24v) banks. I am using wire runs of equal length and crossing at the distribution...

    Three separate battery systems?

    Hey All, Well, it is beginning to come together, I will add pictures to this thread tomorrow when the weather is better. This PV system is being installed in a 1997 Bounder (P30 Chassis). I wound up purchasing: - (8) 100AH AGM batteries, I like maintenance-free reliability without extra...

    Wiring Up The Battery Bank & Distance From Inverter/Charger

    Hey Everyone, I am so excited, my batteries arrived yesterday! I have a 1997 Fleetwood Bounder 34J and I purchased (8) Powermall 12v 100AH AGM batteries to power my home and am deciding their final installation site. I settled on AGM batteries because they are maintenance-free, reliable, and do...

    AMPINVT Inverter/Chargers or MPPT Controllers

    Hey, is anyone working with AMPINVT inverters or controllers? The prices and features are awesome, but it looks too good to be true. Inverter MPPT Controller AMPINVT Industries

    Mount Strength

    The 'Force' you are describing is the Bernoulli Effect and this is what provides lift for aircraft. It requires a curved wing, which changes the distance wind must travel. A longer distance on top and a shorter distance on the bottom, which create a low pressure differential on the top of the...

    Dual-Phase 220v to Single Phase 110v

    It is indeed... do I just carry one of the legs past the AC to handle the rest of the coach (110v, 30a)? I am putting a Mini-Split with two head units into my RV.

    Dual-Phase 220v to Single Phase 110v

    So I will need a new breaker box and have to split my load across the two legs? That will be one heck of a mess. Or just put the AC on One leg and the microwave on the other? Don't have many other big power draws. TV, Computer, Microwave, Coleman AC that's about it. The rest of the stuff is gas...

    (2) Tesla Modules in Series.

    Has anyone played with wiring (2) Tesla batteries in series to run a 48v inverter? I am imagining a (4) Tesla module system wired series-parallel to provide 48 volts.

    Dual-Phase 220v to Single Phase 110v

    Hey Everyone... I am pretty fixed on the AMPINT 24/6000 Dual-Phase 240v Inverter/Charger as the heart of my rv solar install. I have some limited electrical experience, mostly 110v house wiring. Never messed with 220v or dual phase, just never needed to, I have also played with Arduino a bit...

    Hey All, I have a 1997 Bounder 34J that I am setting up for solar. I am an extreme-boondocker and like long-endurance. My hobbies are gold prospecting and outdoor painting. There are places I go where I can stay until I need to leave. Currently my limiting factors are grey water and fuel for...
