    CC blowing fuses

    I’m stumped as well. Was about to toss it figuring it was just a faulty manufacturing defect but thought I’d ask here first Red wires at the bottom are the fuses I added after the initial non-replaceable ones blew on my initial install

    CC blowing fuses

    Brand new cheap cc blows fuses 30amp as soon as I power it up with a 12v battery. Nothing else is connected Thought I screwed up when I installed it but wasn’t sure how.

    Does anybody used the ECO-WORTHY 12V 100AH LiFePO4 and or Renogy 100Ah 12V LiFe4PO ?

    You will need propane for hot water but my cottage runs everything on 12v. Most phone drop 110 back down to 12v or lower so save yourself the conversion loss and keep it at 12.

    Simplest way to keep a battery warm?

    Battery storage over winter and water level drop

    My cottage is just south of sudbury (Estaire area). I leave my system on all winter, have for the past 7 years with no ill effects. There should be minimal drain (unless your running something), so its just going to be a trickle/top up charge which is very easy on the batteries. Mine don't...
