I currently have 3 LiTime 200ah 24V batteries connected parallel and have been running this way for about 14 months, no problem. Was wanting to add a 4th LiTime 200ah 24V battery to the system. LiTime website indicates that you can connect up to 4 of these in parallel. The new battery would be...

I have had my back-up system installed on my house in Austin for about a year. Rich Solar 1600 watt 24 volt system with 60 amp controller with (3) LiTime 200A 24v batteries. When my batteries are full my solar controller screen does not show how much solar my panels are producing or are...

My system has been up and running for a few months with no problems. Noticed this morning that the controller does not show any input from the panels on the roof. From the on/off switch I took the two -/+ leads coming down from the roof from the panels and tested and only showed 2.3v. Should...

Am a novice. Read lots lof stuff trying to figure the correct fuse (battery bank to inverter) for my system and still not sure. Sorry. I have a solar back up system for my house. 1600 watts solar panels on the roof, (3) LiTime 24v 200W batteries in parallel. 24V Giandel 3000W inverter with...

My system has been up and running perfect for 2 months, no problems. This morning when throwing a switch on the transfer box that had my under the sink hot water heater in line the 300A slow acting fuse melted and caught the 2/0 wire insulation and the fuse holder on fire. I heard the inverter...

I have (3) 24 volt 200ah batteries from LiTime. Very pleased with them. Paage on their website states that the usable energy from one of these batteries is 5120 watts. I thought Volts x Amps=Watts. So wouldn't this be 4800 watts for one of these 24 volt batteries? How do they get 5120...

I have two LiTime 24 volt 200ah batteries that have only been in service 2 weeks and are connected parallel. Am thinking on adding a 3rd battery the same as the other two. First is there any reason that I am not aware of concerning connecting this third battery parallel to the others that...

Is it better to have my 300 amp fuse installed closest to my 3000 watt inverter positive terminal or to the postiive terminal on my battery bank or does it matter? Photo is of the proposed wiring for my 24 volt house backup system that is being installed in my workshop. 1200 watts solar...

I have put together a back up system for my small home basically consisting of 1200w solar on roof. 60a solar controller (2) 24v 200ah LiFePo4 batteries. 24v 3000w Giandel inverter. It is enuff to run the stuff I need for a few days even if the sun don't shine. Am looking for a way so that...

A couple of years ago I installed a 12 volt solar system in my Ram Promaster van with 2/0 awg cables for joining (2) SOK 206ah batteries in parallel and 2/0 awg cables from those batteries to a 12 volt Giandel 2200 watt inverter. Has worked just fine for my power needs. I am now installing a...

I have installed the Rich Solar 400 watt kit with two 200 watt panels and 40 amp MPPT controller with the included wiring as per their instructions on my van. Paired it with two 206ah SOK batteries. Clouds, but when clear with sun directly overhead I am getting 300 to 330 watts. Was expecting...

I have the 40amp Rich Solar controller that came with a temperature sensor. It is about 1 inch square and has red stickum tape underneath to facilitate install on battery. I have two 206ah SOKs in parallel. Is there any one location that is best place to stick this sensor on the battery...

Watched 2 videos about programming this Victron 500A Smart Shunt thing. Will Prowse says set the Charged Voltage to 14.6 and Current Connected from whom I got the shunt says in their video Charged Voltage should be set to 13.8 explaining that that is the resting full voltage charge. The...

When my 2 batteries, SOK 206ah, are fully charged by my 400 watt solar panels on the roof of my van and there is no load on my 2200 watt inverter what happens to the electricity that the solar panels are generating while still exposed to the daylight? If the van will be sitting for a week or so...

I have 2 SOT 206ah lithium batteries for the basis of my solar system on my Ram Promaster van. I am in the process of purchasing the Rich Solar 400 watt kit that includes the 40 amp solar controller, two 200 watt solar panels, and the connecting wires (10 gauge) to the controller from the...
