    Is this layout proper?

    I’ve read and searched and still don’t understand everything about what I want to do. I have six 100 amp 12 volt lithium batteries. I need 24 volts for my system. I found this layout, the website is in the pic… That appears to be exactly what I need, except I have 6 batteries instead of 4...

I’m in the process of building two small solar power systems to insure that we have heat and cooling and a small amount of refrigeration. The first system is partly...

    Pull 12 volts from a 24 volt battery bank?

    I’m building a trailer mounted backup power system. The trailer is a 2 horse thing, like an enclosed trailer really. I will be starting a thread on the build, but I have a (hopefully simple) question to ask. I want to use 12 volt lights and fans in the trailer. Can I safely pull a limited...
