I have always used this chart for a general 12v lifepo battery SOC or capacity. Is there a difference? I could be wrong. Of course I do realize these voltages don’t count if Battery is under load.

Isn’t battery voltage at rest a simple indicator of the battery SOC? 🤔

The Victron smart Solar mppt CC does indeed monitor the battery SOC and other parameters. The bt phone app has many operational features.

Oh my 🥳 The simple fact is the set up I posted works well but some just like to argue.😉 So gotta go now. We have better things to do.

Ok, inverter is better and more $$. I built a 10’ cargo conversion using a 100ah 12v lifepo on a 1500 w PS inverter For 4 years camping 7-10 times a year running a cheapie 700w micro on 1/2 power with zero problems. Just take a bit longer to cook. K.I.S.S…..this system works just fine and saves...

I would go with a 12v system on a small trailer with limited power needs. Use a higher voltage/wattage panel with appropriate charge controller (Victron 100/20 or 100/30 smartsolar) to charge quicker and perform better during cloudy days, 1500w PSW inverter and a 200ah lifepo. (relatively...

I do not use bluetooth BMSs. I prefer to use Victron Smart solar charge controllers to monitor battery's. The password can easily be changed if you want to another. The last bluetooth BMS on a battery i built i used a JBD BMS which also is able to change your password. Someone tampering with...

Not a very wise investment........:unsure:

Yep I bought one when it was on sale on Ebay for $106. I have three 200w bifacial ecoworthy panels mounted to it on a rolling rack with 6" castor wheels. Nice and easy well thought out rack. Comes with tools and all mounting hardware(y)

As an experiment and had nothing else to do today 🥳 I Just connected three ecoworthy 200w bifacial panels in parallel to a Victron 100/20 smart solar mppt for two Valence 40ah 12v lifepo batteries connected in parallel for 80ah 12v Looking at the app I was getting 8.6a from the panels and 20.2a...

The ecoflow Delta 2 max actually has two mppt charge controllers built in and they work together giving two separate charge inputs. You can use both for solar or one for solar one for charging from another source.

Nope either end will work.

The simplest and Best bet for your specs would be an Ecoflow Delta 2 or better a Delta 2 Max all one plus a couple 200 watt panels. All easily portable and quality product. Search Wills utube videos for a honest review on the Delta2.

Those are great allowing you to mount cams in a shaded area and the panel in direct sun

I've got 6 solar powered blink cams 2 gen 4 and 4 gen 3 4 on the self contained solar mounts for Blink gen 3 and 2 on the gen 4 mounts which are relatively new products. The original mounts are over 2.5 years old and have never gone dead even with multiple motion triggers and all set to 30...
