    Solar pool pump

    I currently have a standard 1hp AC pool pump running of an exterior outlet. I’m thinking about connecting the pump to my MPP All-in-one inverter. Question, if I have a few panels connected to the MPP and have the MPP connected to grid power through an exterior outlet will it automatically...

    PIP – 1012LV-MS Load Monitoring question

    Thanks for that input. I think the unit is running fine. I’ve tested my full size house frig and now I’m testing the battery with a discharge. In both cases it showed readings. I’ll check my settings perhaps there is something off a bit. Or the load was just way too small

    PIP – 1012LV-MS Load Monitoring question

    Just set up my MPP pi-1012lv-ms all in one. I noticed when I have a small load the display reads 0 for load%, VA, and watts. For example read zero for all three while I charged one cell phone and my 18v cordless drill. When I plugged in a fridge it jumped up to showing normal numbers (500w...)...

    A123 cells

    Any thoughts on these cells (A123) verse the regular prismatic cells everyone uses? BatteryEvo has 120ah battery with these cells for only $500. For the price I'm not familiar with these cells. Thoughts?

    Thanks again, maybe I’m worrying to much and should just charge with my scc only

    Charging question

    Sorry this is likely a very dumb rookie question. To charge my new lithium battery do I need a dedicated ac to dc charger or will the solar charge controllers do double duty? Thinking ahead when the new battery arrives

    Battery Evo

    Has anyone done a teardown on any of these batteries? Wondering for the price in the US if they are junk or worth the money?

    Used Fiat battery

    Stumbled on this today. Would it be usable as a backup solar generator battery option? Say they are 24v 60ah. Used for $200. Figured two might work. Since they are car batteries I have no idea if a BMS is onboard (i Assume yes) and what sort of cells are used. any experience or thoughts would...

    Newbie Question on cell types

    Sorry for the newbie question. Is there an advantage or disadvantage to these kind of cell verses the aluminum ones I see most everyone using? I believe i've seen some other comments that these are perhaps a style thats been around longer and more suitable for mobile type installations where...

    AGM are they safe inside

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. Think I’ll stick with lithium even if it means starting out smaller than I would like
