Hi folks, I am running into some issues with my DIY battery bank and my Victron multiplus. I built two 304 AH 12V batteries with two overkill solar bms units. I have a victron multiplus 2000w inverter charge. I have the batteries in parallel. When I draw a large load (approximately 1500 watts)...

This is basically what I am trying to figure out. Lets say a meal uses 500 watt hours to cook. That should mean through the inverter 500x1.1=550 watt hours given an inverter with a 90% efficiency. So 50 watt hours on my 12v system is about 4 amps per meal. If I run a 12v, 50 amp, 600 watt dc...

So I am working on building an off-grid system and I had a thought I wanted some input on. I found some 12v DC hotplates that run around 400-600 watts so max 50 amps. Would this be more efficient than running a traditional 110v burner through my inverter? This will be my primary method of...

@smoothJoey I haven't figure out the exact cells I am going to buy yet. Still trying to figure out what suppliers are good but I am leaning towards the cells linked below. Seems the forum is generally supportive of this one...

@upnorthandpersonal am I miss reading the link you shared and this has low temperature protection?

@BentleyJ & @smoothJoey. I was looking at the Overkill solar 24v 8s 100 Amp BMS. Seems to be the only trusted BMS with low temperature protection which I desperatly need up here in Canada. The inverter I was looking at is linked below. Says 2000watt continuous and 4000 watt surge. If you know...

Hi Folks, Hope I have found the right place to ask this question. I am looking at building my first battery but I am a little confused about sizing the BMS. I plan on using a 2000 watt inverter so my understanding is a 100 amp BMS on a 24 volt battery system could handle 2000 watts. But the...
