    I have a MPP 2424-LV-MSD all in one inverter. When all is connected (solar PV, input AC and output AC), all is good and works as expected.

    BACKGROUND: I have 4x LiTime 12V 100AH batteries and my MPP inserter runs at 24V. It looks like most setups configure things in 2S2P (two strings of 2x12v inseries) and the two strings connected in parallel. Recently I have been learning about the problems that unbalanced 12v batteries in...
