Good afternoon Forum participants, Given the consistent problems I’ve managed with nearly every previous phase of my RV solar system installation and upgrades over the past 3 years, I am herewith trying to avoid another self-inflicted headache, if not a wound. Right now my system is running...

What is a realistic expectation for maximum amperage draw from a 3000 watt 12-volt inverter? Mine shuts down at 160-170 amps when I run my “inverter microwave” on anything more that about one-half power. To be clear, the system does power everything else in the RV without a hiccup. For...

Throughout the setup of my solar system, including the failure of three cheap Chinese LiFePO4 batteries, this forum was immensely helpful. Thanks again to all those knowledgeable souls who share their wisdom with beginners like me and enable us to do things we never thought we could! The solar...

From what I've found and read on this Forum, the only solution to attempt to make this battery functional again is to charge/discharge the two low/high cells independently? Is that correct? Any other possible tricks or techniques? Please see screenshots below of the BMS app's main screen: (1)...

Again, I’m a real beginner. I just spent another 4 hours over two days reading info on this forum, and now I am even more confused. Yes, I read "Mobile Grounding Made Simpler . . . and several other threads about RV/mobile inverter grounding, one with a lot of technical debate was waaaaay over...

I just spent nearly two hours reading related posts here. I am a limited knowledge beginner. I have learned a lot from this forum. But, I still don't understand one nagging issue in my mind. A quick recap: - Early this year I had four (cheap) Chinese 150Ah LiFePo4 batteries fail, i.e. would not...

Good evening, About a month ago, I posted: Why Has My 6-Month Old "Once Perfect" Solar system Failed? It became a long thread over several weeks. I learned a great deal and I will be forever grateful for everyone who helped this struggling beginner. At that time, the consensus was that it...

I sought an answer a couple of days ago at the end of a long thread about my solar system (batteries/BMS) failure. Can I use one new 12V 100Ah LiFePo4 battery with my existing (3) 150Ah batteries . . . if I can repair those 3 batteries with new BMS units (wishful thinking)? A "no" pretty much...

Will someone please explain to me how the heck a lithium battery can test 13.37 volts with a multimeter . . . and then 2 minutes later when connected to my system and my EPEVER Tracer 4215BN cause a low battery alarm and read 10.4 volts? (1) For four straight days, I charged my 12-volt 150Ah...

HELP, please! I am a newbie. And, I am near to conceding defeat. My 6-month-old DIY solar system in my RV has failed. It worked perfectly for 4 months. On heavy 120-volt appliance use days, I would consume 10% to 15% of the total battery amp hours. Then, even on cloudy days, the system would...
