I am trying to follow this 400 Watt Solar Package W/ Alternator Charging Guide.
I plan to run a mini-fridge/freezer, vent fan, (possibly an induction stove), laptops and smart devices, led lights...
I a definitely new to all of this, but things I am slowly becoming aware of and need further guidance on:
- Stick with BMS. If I see those words on the battery am I good to go or is it needed on several components?
- Watch out for Low temp disconnect, low voltage disconnect. I reside in California, but nonetheless, I plan to take the van to snowy places. What do I need to understand to take preventative measures?
- You shouldn't charge your deep cycle batteries with an Altenator. Does that only apply to deep-cycle AGM batteries? I am trying to set up lithium batteries with alternator charging. What do I need to know?
Ok, with those concerns set aside, I have come across these two batteries since SOK is out of stock.
A) Lossigy 12V300Ah with 200A BMS LiFePO4
B) Ampere Time 12V200Ah LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Battery, with 100A BMS
C) Should I aim for something else?
I am stoked to be part of this community, Thanks!
