I think I can minimize the difference by fully charging the Epochs before I leave and making sure my onboard battery bank is at 100% on arrival and hooking them up immediately upon arrival.

Thanks. The trailer will be primarily used in quite remote areas. When home they will be parked in a very secure location so Im not that worried about the panels.

I am in the process of figuring that out. The rack system I would build would allow 4 x 200 Watt panels. The box mount would hold at least a 100ah 48V battery pack. This will likely be used primarily in the desert in a high sun regime. I will also have a generator to supplement charging if needed.

Well I live in the Bay Area and we have had numerous week long power outages at the house due to fires. I lost all my game in the deep freeze twice. Also I spend time in a fairly elaborate multi person hunting camp. Plus maybe Burning Man lol.

Thanks. That's fantastic input. I also have a pair of little Honda eu2000i generators that I converted to run on propane and I can use those to top up. If the power is out I won't open the deep freeze at all. This is an open deck utility trailer so four panels is what the footprint of the...

So I have built a Solar trailer with modular battery system components. 3x100ah Lithium batteries, 4x285 watt panels aND A Victron 250/100 Solar Charge Controller. The panels are wired in series to produce about 144 volts and about 10 amps. Everything is hooked up and I get roughly 144 volts up...

I am considering building a DIY Solar Array for use in remote desert areas. I anticipate it being a 1200kh flat panel mount on a rack I would fabricate about 48" above the flat bed utility trailer. I was interested in the DIY Ecoflow version discussed on Youtube. If you are planning on using...

I have the bare wire connectors and I checked the polarity at the cable ends. It seems ok. I'll recheck it again.

So I hope this is interesting enough to get the attention of the "Pros". I currently have an RV set up with rooftop solar and a Victron Inverter/Solar Charge Controller and Controls. I have 4 x 100ah Battleborn batteries. I have come into possession of a couple Epoch 460ah batteries. Normally my...

I am considering building a system to power a small remote base camp for hunting or camping. My thought is to mount an overhear rack system above a 5'6" wide by 7 foot long utility trailer I have.I would then like to build the batteries and control systems into a 45" x 20" x18" double wall...

I was actually more worried about heat since I will mostly use it in hot dry desert conditions. As to cold I suppose I should monitor it as well as heat. Are there BMS systems or temperature monitoring devices that would work for this?

I have an RV with 4x100ah Battleborn batteries, an Victron Multiplus and Cerbo system. Normally that is enough for my boondocking needs but at Burning Man for the week I would like more battery capacity to lessen dependence on my generator. I have several Epoch 460ah batteries that I don't want...

Sorry lol but I'm sure you knew what I meant. Intend to have the batteries and all in one system mounted in a waterproof enclosure that is mounted on the same utility trailer as the panel array. Other than the configuration factors I was wondering if there are any operational differences.

Thank you for trying to help me impress my friends.

I had one but it was stolen unfortunately. I'll have to pick up a replacement.

I considered that but I think the Epoch are just too big to fit into any of my bays.

Good call
