I'll be using battery balancer. And yes, losing 1 battery, I meant I could potentially finnagle something for 24v or 12v, still have some sort of power, but moreso, I'd just repair it or replace and get 48V system up and running vs a macgyver situation with 1-3 batteries which can't run my aio...

Guess I'll keep my 712 then. Thoughts on single server rack vs 4 batteries?

I've got: -Eg4-3000EHV-48 all in one -4800Wh battery storage (4 x 12V @ 100Ah lithium from LiTime) -1100W solar: 6 x 185W, going all series for ~ 220V PV input -Victron lynx distributor -Victron BMV-712 smart shunt I'm going up to 48V system @ 100Ah with 4 x lithium batteries in series...

How loud are fans when idling? Would sleep be disturbed sleeping in back 20ft away? Would it drive me crazy and unable to think if I'm sitting near it?

Looking to potentially buy EG4 3000 EHV-48 all in one. Does fan run constantly? Even with no loads? I've heard the fan runs constantly vs only on when it heats up from loads and needs to cool down. Anyone confirm this? How loud are inverter and charge controller fans? It will be in skoolie...

Any problems with 36V panels charging 48V/60V system? Will be series connected up to 216V, so assuming doesn't matter. Will I have to wait longer in the day, when better sunshine achieved, till panels start pulling panel V closer to battery bank V of 57.6V and then starting to charge bank? 57.6V...

What's good brand balancer to use? Preferably 1 unit that does all 4 @ 48V simultaneously vs 4 units 4 x 12V.

How often would I have to balance the batteries? Is there a way to wire so that I don't have to remove all batteries, physically, and charge each one up till balanced? It's just me and my skoolie, no other power sources around so I can't just pull batteries and take to my garage/house and charge...

I have a 24V 3000W inverter. All in ones I'm gonna get are both 3000W, just 48v vs 24v. I have 1100W of panels on roof. The all in ones are: 3000W 24V $675 3000W 48V $675 If the 48V was more expensive, I'd go with 24V, but same price. So I thought why not save on wiring anyways, and go 48v...

What do you mean by 48v same range will be difficult?

manual says can run up to 4 in series or 4 in parallel (16 total), but who knows. Thought parallel batteries don't balance well? Series doesn't balance well either? How to mitigate balance issues? At 24v 2s2p, would I run into balancing problems? Better to stick with 24V to eliminate...

I have: -skoolie build -24V system -batteries: 4 x 12V 100Ah Amperetime lifepo4 batteries (5000Wh battery capacity) -panels: 1100W --- 6 x 185W 36V 5A panels ~1100W (either 3s2p @ 108V 10A or 2s3p @ 72V 15A) -gifted 30A 48V to 12V buck converter (with inline fuse) -also have 40A 24V-12V, but can...

Inverter fan keeps running constantly. Just started doing this yesterday. Zero loads being pulled thru inverter. Wired-in remote installed on wall panel doesn't turn it off anymore like before. It doesn't respond at all. When I turn remote on/off, inverter fan slows slightly upon power on, and...

So 2/0 would be fine to use for my purposes? Between batteries, battery bank to lynx distributor, and lynx distributor to panel? Battery bank fuse = 200A, 225A, or 250A? 225A I'm leaning towards as middle ground. Mrbf bolt on ok to use, but T class is preferred as best thing on forums. Mrbf...

I have 4 batteries, 2s2p. So that's 12V @ 400Ah, originally, and when in series is 24V @ 200Ah. I'm not sure what you mean. Bear with me please haha
