Got a call from a friend that they were struggling with their van electrical system build on Tuesday.
Needed it running by Wed night for something with a customer on Thursday morning.
Starting Components:
- Pair of EG-4 24 volt batteries
- Hybrid Magnum 3000 inverter ( unfortunately the supplier shipped a 12 volt input one )
- They had done a good job with the 120 vac side with breakers and wire protection so that was all fine
- Houghton air conditioner
- Some 120 vac powered equipment
- There are no DC loads in this setup - it is a mobile business
For some reason the EG-4s also seemed to need a software update but the van owner was frustrated with things and didn't have the cables to do the update, we could not wait, and the voltage of the batteries didn't match the inverter.
So that was the starting point.
