    Batteries over 24V, start getting into the "dangerous" area and you should know what you are doing. How about a solar panel that has 40 volts (and about 10 amps)? If not, how many in series before it gets "very dangerous"?

    I'm looking to setup a small off grid system and was leaning towards the Lv2424 but now I'm thinking about doing a component system because the 2420 needs a certain amount of battery power to turn on the system. I plan to use two lead acid batteries for now and change to Lithium Iron later. The...
