NOPE! :) I just reversed it and got a few volts at 8:30pm. Really incredible! Thanks! Man, you gotta wonder how did I ever get the first seven in a row correct??? LOL
Thank you for the breaker box info scrub, that was perfect.
FYI
I only use solar for test runs for power outages. I run them fairly frequently to stay proficient. I use solar mostly to run two deep freezes and one fridge and lights. I can run one room only for air conditioning. My solar...
Well, it’s been a long road for sure, started with gas generator, then propane, now Solar. Looking back I agree with your assessment, but was overwhelmed, thanks for the thread tip!
To be really honest, I just ordered a new freezer from Lowes, I couldn’t understand the data sheet. Not knowing electrical, my take on their sheet was it was more mumbo jumbo than real usable data!
I have been researching and planning my first DIY and would appreciate any suggestions. Especially the fuse and fuse location!!! And wire sizes. I may only end up with two Power Queen 12v 190Ah's but four is the max for sure.
BTW, I used someone on DIY schematic, and just replaced and moved...
I didn't know there was a 'true battery charger' for lithium. I got the progressive dynamics because that what I found. My use, is home use for backup up power. I would want to charge my batteries with a gas generator if needed too.
I bought four of these and have them in parallel. Today I finally got them charged and the Renogy shunt says that they are around 13.2 volts,@ 95% charged. I am New, with this, but I would have expected them to be around 14.00 volts.
The manufacturer says to charge them at 14.4-14.6,
Thanks!
I run six Victron 100/50 smart solar chargers at my house to two batteries banks. Just for emergency power. I have really enjoyed my selection of MPPT. But if the phones are down, like they were for me last week, how do you manually turn them on or off. Bluetooth is great, but if the phones...
I am replacing my 12v Renogy 2000 watt inverter with a 3000 watt 12 volt inverter. I used 2 gauge wire on the first one, and have ordered 1/0 AWG for the 3k inverter. 12” long to the fuse, and 12” long to the battery to the blue sea on off. Think it should be good. I am concerned about the...
Any suggestions on how to divert power from one MPPT to two battery banks one or the other, not both at the same time. I was thinking a Blue Sea 4 position battery switch, but was curious if someone had a better idea.
Thanks
Nice, I looked up the charger after your comment and really like, it and was pleased with the price. I just ordered a hammer crimper from the DIY website and have some extra 4 AWG coming in from Windy Nation that I will be able to use. I really appreciate the tip! Thanks.
Just curious, I...
Planning a 24 volt solar system with 3K inverter. Home backup power.
It was 12 volt until I posted a wiring diagram this weekend and the fellas nuked it…helped me long run!!! I didn’t even know about 24 volt!
My question is What is the BEST lithium battery ‘Voltage’ for this? Starting...
Here is what I am building. It's kind of a hybrid. I have a Bluetti generator and trying to use solar to charge some additional batteries etc. I bought a Progressive Dynamics 60-amp charger converter, but it takes about 1600 watts to run. :( Just looking for something more efficient and...
How do you mount them? I saw "MidNite Solar MNBABYBOX Baby Box Enclosure" it looks like it will hold four of the breakers. I may have to get two if I go that route. Thanks again.
