I like the 48V bank

I have 12 batteries ( 3 48volt) 4s3p 3000 watt inverter to 120 Mini runs great

As soon as I switched my bank from 12V to 48V my Mini Split runs great. No batteries added, just series to 48V

I could use some input on this I have 12 100A 12V Lead Acid "Everlast" batteries wired for 48 volts. 6 250 watt panels and some junk flex panels on 2 CC 150/60 I installed a Pioneer 20 Seer 115 volt Mini. What can I expect for performance?

A couple of questions 3 panels @ 37.5 VOC in series would be 112 volts and about 9 amps so 2S2P would be 112V and 18 amps If I am correct so far if I did 3S3P I would be at 112 V and 18 amps? Please correct as necessary

I should have added that the battery bank is 48 Volts 300A Currently with 6 250 watt panels 3s2p I'm "Technically" producing just under 100 Volts and 18 amps on one Renogy 150/60 Charge Controller. By adding 2 panels 4s2p i will be at or slightly above the 150 Volts limit on the CC. Any ideas or...

I currently have 6 250 watt panels wired 3 in series and then 2 in Parallel. I want to add 2 panels and I was thinking to rewire for 4 in series and 2 parallel. At 9 amps and 30 volts per panel I am thinking my 150V/60A Renogy charge controller could handle the 120 volts 18 amps. Input please...

Yes, it now makes sense after talking to Renogy In the bottom left hand corner of page 9 in the 60 amp manual there is a drawing with no info I was told to leave port #1 empty #2 Black #3 Yellow #4 Red Use 16 to 24 gauge wire Connect all three ports together from each Controller

I spoke to Renogy and they told me to connect the two Charge controllers together in parallel by using a 12 awg wire from one to another but I can't find where I'm supposed to do it. Has anyone done this?

Thanks I really appreciate it

I tried it but it didn't work

Thanks I will give that a try

I just switched my battery bank from Lead acid 12 volt to LA 48 volt However my Renogy Rover 60 Amp Charge Controller will not let me reset the charging Parameters for a 48 volt bank. Even though I have switched the Controller to 48 volts and also "Auto" Can anyone help with this? Thanks

I finally figured out my problem running my "Non Inverter Compressor" Mini Split. I had 12 batteries in parallel ( 12 Volt) each. It would NOT start my 16 Seer Mini. I switched to a 48 Volt battery bank using the same Lead Acid Batteries and it runs like a champ !!!! I learn something new every day

Thanks for your help
