I had originally planned to go with a 12v system in my van. After some feedback, I'm now thinking about stepping up to 24v to safely use my 3000W inverter.
I have 4x Ampere Time 12v 200ah batteries with 100a BMS on each. I also have a Victron 100/50 MPPT solar charge controller and two Renogy 12v 40a DC-DC chargers.
If I'm thinking about this correctly, I could wire the batteries in 2s2p for a 24v battery bank. The Victron can handle 24v output. My concern is charging from the alternator.
Can I wire the two Renogy 12v DC-DC chargers in series to output 40a at 24v? If so, how? Also, my alternator in the Promaster is 180a. Would this be too much draw for the alternator to handle?
Thanks!
