    Question about inverter efficiency and if it's worth it to have 2 different wattage inverters

    I'm trying to understand the efficiency of inverters. I'm planning on getting the Victron Multiplus 12v 3000w inverter/charger because I'll have 600+ AH of LifePo4 batteries and because it can charge the house battery bank faster than the 2000w inverter/charger. However, (with the exception...

    Which is less problematic: Six 12v batteries in parallel, or use a Switch to switch between two isolated battery banks of three batteries in parallel?

    I'm planning my electrical system for a van. I'm not running high wattage appliances and I'll only be using about 1-3kwh per day, but I'll often be away from grid for 6+ days and my solar won't be enough to fully recharge batteries. Ultimately I need to have ~14kwh of capacity. Here are two...

    How fast will multiple LifePo4 batteries in parallel charge from 30amp shore power?

    I'm confused how 30a at 120v from shore power gets translated through an inverter/charger into a 12v battery bank. For example, if I have six 206ah SOK 12v batteries wired in parallel and I'm charging from 30a shore power via a Victron Multiplus inverter/charger, how much will each battery be...

    AC200max - adding a B300 in a year

    I've heard that it's best to get batteries all at the same time, since mixing newer batteries with older batteries is less efficient. Is that true for the AC200max as well? For example, if I were to get the AC200max, use it for a year, and then add a B300, and then add another B300 a year after...
