Was pondering a unique problem I'm going to run into with using my mower as my houses solar battery for the time being.
I'm not quite to the point of having enough panels to want to buy batteries to use on my sungold tp6048 just yet. But I have a cub cadet 48volt electric zero turn mower and I'm going to charge it from the solar so why not use it as a battery too
This should work wonderfully right up to the point I want to cut the grass with it....
I know with all of the mppt chargers I have for the old house you disconnect the pv from them before you disconnect the battery.
I'm running in hybrid mode on the sungold with it being grid fed and solar providing power during the day as much as possible. I'm guessing with bms units able to disconnect the batteries on lifepo4's if they need to from over charging etc that removing the battery isn't as big of a deal on these?
If not will I need to shut the sungold down each time I want to cut the grass? As in shutdown the inverter, disconnect battery and then power the inverter back up or can I just disconnect the battery and cut the grass with the inverter still running?
I won't be running off the battery just charging it except with during a power outage.
