Newbie here. For those who built their Power Station, can someone please tell me what criteria is used to know whether a box fan is required? I'm installing 2 100-Amp Li Time Mini batteries in series (24V), connected to a Giandel 24VDC to 110VAC 2,000 watt pure sine wave inverter. I'll be using a Victron MPPT 100|15A solar charge controller connected to 4 100-Watt Ecoflow Mono solar panels in series (68.1V nominal at 5.9A).
Since the inverter has its own fan and the BMS is inside the LIFEPO4 battery (I think it's mounted vertically inside the Mini Li Time battery case at one end), do I need to install a fan at all? If so, do I need more than one fan? The case is a RIGID 2.0 25" all-terrain rolling cart but the inside dimensions are really more like 19" wide, 12" deep/front-to-back, and 14" tall. I'm actually hoping everything will fit. Worst case, I'll get a smaller box that fits on top for the inverter.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've already learned a great deal from reading posts on this website regarding pre-charging of the inverter capacitors. I plan on using a cut-off switch to ensure 0 current from the batteries when the power station is off and rather than zap the inverter with 24+ volts (2,560 WH capacity from the batteries), I plan on using a momentary push-button near the cut-off switch to supply 24V to the inverter through a 30 Ohm, 25 watt resistor for a few seconds before I turn on the switch.
