    Connecting Victron MPPT to 1500 watt inverter

    I recently saw a video where the user connected the positive coming out of a 100/30 Victron MPPT, then a 40 amp breaker, to a 1500 watt inverter positive post that also had 2 AWG cables connected to one 100 amp 12 volt battery. This enabled him to run high peak voltage AC appliances like chop...

    24 volt with only 4S 12v batteries?

    Is there any benefit to running a 24 volt system if I only have 4S 12-volt batteries in series (1C 100 AH)? I know 8 batteries are recommended for 24 volt but I want to future-proof my battery bank by going 24 volt instead of 12 volt; I just don't have 8 batteries yet. In other words would 4S be...
