Off grid cabin-away 99% of the time. Magnum 4k inverter, Midnite solar Classic 150 controller. 4 solarworld 320w panels on a stationary pole mount
I have a 24v 430ah wet battery bank that is going on 5yrs old and pretty much cooked. Looking to replace with lithium and be done with it. I very seldom use much if any of my capacity. Hunting season we run the lights a little and TV for an hour or two. Maple season run a small transfer pump short duration. On one occasion I ran my R.O. off teh cabin power but usually use my Honda EU2000i for this because after a few hours the battery bank will be depleted. I've been looking at various options. I run Ionic batteries in my boat and really like their APP to see SOC etc on the BMS of each unit. Ionics are pretty darn expensive though. Been looking at Big Battery for a nice packaged unit that would take the place of my battery "box". The Big Battery Hawk series seems to fit the bill. 200ah range should match what I have pretty close but I question if it may be more practical to back it down to even 120ah. If demand somehow grows add a second unit paralell.
I'm not always the one to check in so I really like the idea of having a heads up SOC so I can send anyone in and they can see that the battery bank is 9x% full etc. Even snap a pic of the display.
Suggestions?
