Wow! you really got that Cerbo GX working for you! (y)

I thought of getting two to replace my older 50A Victron Buck Boost’s just for the sake of being able to monitor them more easily...

I just received my Victron Orion XS 12-12V 50A charger. I am building an EVE LF304 4S 12V battery and want to charge it from my truck...

The tr smart 30a is 6awg, the new XS might be 4awg but not sure. If you trim it down and still have enough space to separate the...

Many thanks everyone. The fridge used to run on propane, but I've never found them that good in high temperatures. Prefer a compressor...

You running the fridge off propane I assume? As mentioned efficiency would be somewhat the same. but the upfront cost will bite you as...

Probably not. If you're consistently running 1000 watts for hours on end then yes. If you go up to 2000 watts for several minutes...

If you're switching from lead acid then you'll want a DC DC converter or multiple. Doesn't really matter is 12/12 or 24/12 or even...

I would stick with 12v and get a dc/dc charger. I have 560ah @ 12v on my work truck and charge at 50 amps with a Redarc 50 amp dc/dc...

12v high capacity and 24v high capacity alternators are both extremely common, and quite cheap with 12v from cars, 24v from trucks...

Given that my main source of power is the 120a 12v alternator on my camper van, is it worth going to a 24v system? It seems step up...

Throughout the load test, the Bluetooth app and my load tester stayed in agreement. I am very happy with the 104 AH result!

I received the battery today. It came via FedEx from CA. It looks like the box had prior shipping damage which was covered over with...

Thanks for the comments and additional feedback. I have seen some of those golf cart battery replacements from the better names but am...

For batteries with a BMS I would buy or build 36 volt batteries for a 36 volt system. And I would want to be certain of the startup...

Greetings, I seek your DIY battery pack wisdom for a project of mine. Not a solar bank, but rather a 1972 GE Elec-Trak E12M. I scored...

Thanks roadturtle and sunshine. My 30yo Canadian Dodge B350 has the original 3 way in it and it just couldn't cope with Texas heat so...

The actual part cost for my model was $795. I chose the installation option, 1st because it was only $250, and 2nd because they are...

About the same. The 10cuft only pulls 60W, and I'm 99% certain the insulation is much better. I never noticed anything like that...

Sorry. I'm saying compressor fridge (AC or DC ) replacing absorption fridge (AC/DC/propane) running on AC or DC should yield 80-85%...
