    ** I think I found a dc dc charger ** I am looking at the Conext MPPT 60 150Solar Charge Controller. It is marketed for PV to battery charging, but in the manual under features it says it "will also work with other DC sources." It can be paralleled for more current. The menus allow for the...

The Victron Buck Boost seems so expensive ( $1100 / 50A ) where the Sterling was more like $900 / 200A. The...

    Food Truck 24v System Design

I want to have a provision to automatically start the APU and charge the battery when the inverter cuts out from low voltage. I assume deep discarge is bad...

    Food Truck 24v System Design

    smoothJoey, decisions were made, a major factor was the air conditioner/ hvac system, which uses belt drive compressors off the APU. I already have the prestolite units. Why not 48V? the aircon, bus chassis, motive power starter (cummins) and samlex inverter were already onboard at 24v, and...
