I’m going to do either a 24v or a 48v setup for a 5th wheel toy hauler. I have 16 x 3.2v/280ah cells on the way so I can either run 16s or 8s2p.
i haven‘t purchased anything else yet until I decide. I know I’ll be starting with 4 residential panels around 350W each, I know I’d need a 48v to 12v converter for running my 12v components, I’d prefer to have some charging capacity from the alternator, because why not get some charging while driving.
im not necessarily looking for specific items for my build, just general thoughts on pros/cons first.
thanks for any tips, excited I finally placed my battery order which now makes it official!
also, in case it matters, I’m in the U.S., so 120vac inverter would be used. I’d like to use as much Victron as possible pending final costs.
