    Solar system for a private railroad passenger car

    Omg! So jealous. Have to watch this thread. Do you have a web site or anything on the full details? this is also prime for a solar system, and I’d consider switching the batteries to LiFePO4. But that isn’t necessary.

    Trojan LIFEPO4 Battery

    2 weeks ago, they had great specs on their site. Just went out there now and I’m not finding any specs on group 31’s. I messaged them about it.

    What specs were you looking for? I found a lot of specs on their batteries right on their site.

    6-8 of Battle Born 100Ah batteries vs 2 of ECPC-12.8V 560Ah Bestgo battery pack

    Consider the ohmmu drop ins. They are 150Ah each. Ohmmu.com That’s what I’m using.

    200 watt panels

    I’d really look at how many panels you can fit based on size of panel. And maximize. You might find you can only for 4 200 watt panels, but maybe you can get six 150 watt panels for 900 watts. You have a huge battery bank. I’d try and get as much solar on that roof as you can.

    My RV house battery is done. I will be installing solar and LiFePo4 batteries later this year. Can I install a LiFePo4 as my house battery NOW? S

    Understood. If you’re good spending that much more, go for it. I found that ohmmu offers a better deal, so that’s what I went with. Ohmmu has been providing batteries to Tesla owners for years and is considered a high end product with exceptional reliability. Also an AZ based company. Any...

    My RV house battery is done. I will be installing solar and LiFePo4 batteries later this year. Can I install a LiFePo4 as my house battery NOW? S

    You can upgrade the ohmmu warranty to 10 year and the total cost on a 150Ah drop in is $1,049. So, for a $100 more you get 50% more capacity.

    Drop in a group 31 150Ah from ohmmu with built in BMS. Ohmmu.com Talk to Shawn. He’s awesome.

    2 Renergy 12v 100 ah, want to put into series.

    I’d sell the renogy’s and get ohmmu LiFePO4’s. They have 100’s and 150’s and can connect in series for a 24v system.

    Double check my wiring diagram for 12v 300Ah LiFePO4

    Makes sense. An no break is required. I can run all 12 batteries side by side with bus bars.

    Double check my wiring diagram for 12v 300Ah LiFePO4

    Working it the other way, is this digram correct as well? Each set is 12.8v @ 100Ah, wiring in Parallel to make 12.8v @ 300Ah (Breaking apart the sets helps, even though they'll be tight during install and all connected using copper bus bars.)

    Double check my wiring diagram for 12v 300Ah LiFePO4

    Deleted second pic and I think I did what you suggested in first pic. Keep it simple. 1st set is P at 3.2v and 300Ah, then repeat 3 more times in Series to get to 12.8v and 300Ah. Correct?

    Double check my wiring diagram for 12v 300Ah LiFePO4

    I'm in complete agreement with you. I did that second one as my first drawing and kept thinking something looked wrong. Started over from scratch and came up with the first diagram.

    Double check my wiring diagram for 12v 300Ah LiFePO4

    Take a look below. I believe this is correct to get the desired results of a 12v 300Ah LiFePO4 battery pack. And, in the drawing, that can all be done using bus bars, right? Thanks (Install space necessitates the batteries to be configured like this, all in a single row, thus the odd layout)...

    Converting large RV to Solar and Lithium, assistance needed

    ;) Read what FilterGuy says above. Teslas, Leaf's, all EV's have a small 12v house battery. People will upgrade these to LiFePO4 to support higher end amplifiers, electronics, etc....

    Converting large RV to Solar and Lithium, assistance needed

    My coach is not wired to charge the batteries from the engine alternator. Engine charges the chassis batteries only, which I plan to leave alone. The house batteries are charged from the Magnum MS-2000 Inverter/Charger, while on shore power or running the generator. Once an MPPT solar charger...

    Converting large RV to Solar and Lithium, assistance needed

    Well, I have to do something now. Current Lead Acid batteries are dead and won't charge. I could make an effort to revive them since they are only 2 years old. Been reading up on repairing batteries and the RV will be parked for the next 3 months, so there is time to try and revive them and get...

    Converting large RV to Solar and Lithium, assistance needed

    Sounds fun! Enjoy. I like the idea of replacing the Generator with a large battery pack. This option doesn't make as much sense for me though, based on the type of RV'ing we do.

    Converting large RV to Solar and Lithium, assistance needed

    So, chemistry is the same, Lithium Iron Phosphate, but the ohmmu are only 4 cell. If there is a chemistry difference I am missing, please educate me instead of just saying they are different.

    Not sure I understand your comment. This isn’t a new company. They’ve been making batteries for Tesla’s, Leaf’s, and other applications for years.

    Converting large RV to Solar and Lithium, assistance needed

    Definitely considered those. Haven’t bought yet, but the ones from ohmmu are the same price with 50 more Ah, so I’m really considering those since I’m only wanting two. Getting 300Ah from two batteries would be pretty nice. And for under 2k.

    Converting large RV to Solar and Lithium, assistance needed

    This makes perfect sense and is very useful. The LBCO has a max setting of 12.2. I’ll use that. For Battery type, I have gel, flooded, AGM1, and AGM2. What about the comment above around the generator? I’ve been doing a lot of research and watching YouTube conversions, and no one ever talks...

    I have a large Fleetwood Diesel pusher with an Onan 6Kw diesel generator, a Magnum MS-2000 Inverter, and four 6V 208Ah lead acid batteries. I don't want to deal with battery maintenance and want to ensure my batteries always have good charge on them. My plan is to replace the four 6v batteries...
