Got my new SOK in and charged it up last night. Dropped it in the RV today to do some load testing. All went well. There's room for a 4th and I made the cables all equal length so a fourth can go in.

With one 15k BTU aircon + the fireplace on high (weird combo, right?) I was pulling 320A from the three batteries. Let it run for 10 minutes. Only thing that got above ambient temperature was the 400A type T fuse. It was at 106 def F when I stopped. All other components were ambient.

I turned the panels on. Full overcast and raining at 1:37pm in Ohio when I started. Not too bad.

Then the sun popped out. Nearly maxing my two 100/50 MPPT's capability. Yeah!

Love that 9W idle load on the MPII.
 
They go to a Lynx distributor you can see at the bottom of the pic. Fused in that. But can’t turn them off individually except through the bms bt app.
