    Help w/RV Curved roof mount, weight limits, flexible panels

    Ok thank you for the answer on that one. I'm really hoping you mean 95. Otherwise those numbers are stellar! Correct, I have the same experience. I plan to be north for the summers so I'm hoping to stay out of 90+ very often at all. I will also have a generator for if I'm in dire need of...

    Help w/RV Curved roof mount, weight limits, flexible panels

    Yeah, I've done the analysis on this and both watt per pound and watt per square inch is almost always better on larger panels than smaller which is why I'm trying to opt for larger panel any chance I can. I'm not sure I understood this comment. These need to come out? Have you had any issues...

    Help w/RV Curved roof mount, weight limits, flexible panels

    Hello, I am looking for help on figuring out the best selection here to go for getting the solar panels to finish out my solar system on my 34 ft 5th wheel RV. I've got a couple of issues that I'm running into as I look for solutions. For starters, I have 3 100 AH lithium 48v batteries in the...

    ATS Control Wiring Question

    other way around, I cannot get it to go to "normal" power

    ATS Control Wiring Question

    Yeah... for some reason mine is not working that way. It always goes to backup power for some reason.

    ATS Control Wiring Question

    Thank you so much, since you have these I have more questions for you then. The A/B lights are supposed to be on when the control wiring is in correct? I ended up just guessing on the wiring and accidentally went a tad too big but everything seems to be in like its supposed to but when I switch...

    Simple 48v Lithium Question from Newb

    Thank you very much for the response. Thats an interesting idea on a voltage activated contactor, I had not thought of that. Mainly the use case is just for these 15 amp places I go or places without electric and I run my eu3000is but I'm wanting to run A/C and things that bypass mode...

    Simple 48v Lithium Question from Newb

    Hello, I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing here. I have a SP6548 with 3 SunGoldPower SG48100P batteries in parallel for it in my RV. Manual states recommended charging at 54.5V and max cutoff voltage for charging is 57.6V, says nothing about bulk vs float. Right now I have the...

    ATS Control Wiring Question

    I'm pretty sure that with the AIO on, the batteries will not get charged unless it is in utility mode. And if you're in utility mode then you have to use utility bypass to power things. At this point it doesn't really matter anyways because I've already bought the chargeverter and so I can get...

    ATS Control Wiring Question

    The reason I have it this way is that I did not want to buy 2 inverters to handle this job and I don't really need to full power of 50 amp 240 service anyways. I wanted to be setup for all kinds of power scenarios since I'll be traveling around, so the chargeverter will let me connect if all...

    ATS Control Wiring Question

    Hello. I recently put one of these Automatic Transfer Switches in my RV in front of the SP6548 so that I could use 50 amp service normally while still running 120v over to the AIO to charge batteries. Right now everything seems to be working, however, I have not wired in the control relay...

    48v to 12v with decent sized loads

    Yeah, that battery setup scares me to even think about. Plus I really just don't want to go for more batteries anyways. I'm over 3k$ in on battery stuff as it is. If I buy anymore I'd rather it be a 4th 48v. I was digging through another thread and did finally find this... 48v to 13.8v...

    48v to 12v with decent sized loads

    the lippert hydraulic system is known to spike over 120 at times from everything I've read on this forum and people checking it

    48v to 12v with decent sized loads

    So far I have not seen anything that is small be able to supply enough amps though

    48v to 12v with decent sized loads

    Yeah if I kept any 12v battery I think that the converter in there would be sufficient enough. The other consideration is weight since I'm adding about 1000 lbs for the solar system for this thing and lead acid is heavy. I will at least look into what sized batteries I can get though. I know...
