In the right situation,,, I Like Solar 😁. My “Travel Van” is practically 100% DC2DC Alternator. My “Off Grid Cabin” is 100% Solar with...

Hi @Dave in AZ I’m late to the Party here, & speed read the thread I use to have a phrase for LFP ,,, the “3Cs” Cost Charge...

I am not sure if the victron DC - DC converters will work or not. If you use 2 each small batteries in series, then each one only has...

Your math is wrong. You don't use the 120v output voltage, you use the 12v input. That 400W is as much or more than most of the dc to...

@Vigo @HarryN Good points on voltage drop, always good to mention in a heater thread, 90% of errors I see posted are due to this! It...

My experience running a diesel heater is that the power wire is a little undersized for the amperage during warmup and causes an...

Hi, I am continuing to add to that thread on the trailer. The part that isn't completely obvious regarding your diesel heater is that...

Hmm... well, you might be onto something. I do plan on running some 4AWG back there from starter battery, to allow either a 1. dc to dc...

Yes, pickup truck camper. The start battery could provide a backup 8Ah to start and run diesel heater. But, imagine the scenario...

Ok… This is on a boat, right. Don’t buy renogy. On a boat, I would ONLY use top tier equipment. Victron. It has the lowest standby...

This; Per above ,,, Design 1st then Purchase Stuff. I don’t know what you need as until a few moments ago I thought your fridge was...

I would return that monstrosity inverter, and get a 2000W one, absolutely. Air conditioner is a complete non starter, it is an order...

Pdf, xls, doc files should be banned as attachments. Threat actors can embed urls in the files then when people open to help they can...

I highly recommend PowerSonic brand especially, for small sealed lead acid batteries. With a battery tender 800mA too.

Also very useful if you need to jump start LFP in discharge protection.

Nice then. I see they have small $35 AGMs that are 12 to 15Ah, perfect as a cold weather piwer source to bootstrap up my diesel and...

Agm and lfp are happy together. Agm requires oddity charging recovery modes, but if only used for small tasks, and always kept full...

Loves me some LFP, but this sounds like an ideal solution for AGM. I would prefer AGM as they are more freeze tolerant, and they lose...

If your concern is that 12V AGM battery will be a bit too low in voltage, is 16 nominal OK...
