AND you can always add more components to it if you find yourself needing more power. When I started out, I thought a 50w array would power my life out here (it didn't). So I added a 200w array to the Honda... still wasn't enough. Then along came two 175w arrays... it FINALLY does the job, and I...

Way to go HighDesertOffgrid! Lol.

They should have wires where the outer casing is either the red or black... but then having that extra inner casing with a small number showing you what voltage it's tied into. BTW I absolutely love the box build and layout! I also have a little collection of electricals to revive from the...

I wish his controllers could run that cool, but the motorhome is like a baked potato wrapped in tin-foil during the summer months (I've been in here when it's close to 38-40c). I bet the ambient temperatures and where the controllers are mounted would make a huge difference in temps while...

I wonder which user was the millionth poster. They should get a special screen name for that one, lol.

What a system... amazing!

I know, these Victrons are pretty neat devices (my boss only uses Victron for our jobsites). Since China-zon already reimbursed the cost and Victron not replying to my e-mail inquiry, this one will only be used for experiment testing. I don't need all the bells and whistles in a controller; if...

I've thought of this myself, but with my controller's fault of mis-reading my battery voltage to 1volt, I'm not sure how far over 175w I should be pushing it. Although I do know these Victron's will get very warm the longer they're pushed past their limits. Our motorhome office at work utilizes...

I just made another thread on my experimental build; let's aim for 2 million!

If you had seen some of my other threads on problems I've been having with a Victron 100/20, you will know how much I HATE the connectors they come with. Well... I came up with a solution: ...and it HOLDS the cables in place! (kiitos to my boss's wife who previously came up with this design...

Not bad!

Hey there! So sorry for the late reply (I didn't see this thread as a new post in time). I'm also looking into adding a River 2 Pro to my Honda's system (PowerQueen Mini batteries absolutely HATE inverters of all kinds) and will be powering most of my electronics through the Pro. It'll basically...

We have a EcoFlow River 2 in the boss's motorhome and he wonders the same thing, too. On the River 2, though, it only has one XT60 behind it. He's thinking if he picks up an XT60 combiner (2 input plugs into one output) if that would allow it to charge from both the cig lighter and his 50w...

That's a neat little device. I also like how it has outlets used in different countries, too. You may be on to something here JohnD0h, good find! So I'm assuming you would need to plug in a regular charger from that to your batteries for getting them charged up? I'd think a 25A charger would...

That is an amazing build! What kind of PWM are you running with and how much solar will you be using (if your using solar)?
