So I'm building an 800w solar panel system for my travel trailer. It already has an inverter (only 1000w so will probably upgrade to 2000w so the wife can run a few more things like her hair dryer, LOL". I have a 200ah LifePo4 battery. I'm reading about inverter/chargers combos. But if I am...

I have 4 200w solar panels that I want to wire in series-parallel on top of my travel trailer (currently only have 1 200w panel). I plan to use a 20a fuse for each string. I have a 12v 200ah LifePo4 battery, 60a MMPT solar charge controller and 1000w inverter. Question #1: how do I calculate the...

So my 2023 travel trailer came with a pretty useless 200w panel, 20 amp solar controller, 1000w inverter and (2) 100ah lead acid batteries. We like to boondock for 4+ days. Plan to run the following on 12v system: 3.1 cubic fridge, 10 in macbook laptop, LED overhead interior lights at night, and...

Just curious if anyone else has encountered this issue with a new LiFePO4 battery seemingly dead and not charging. I went and got a multimeter and tested the battery and it's at 3.25V which seems crazy low. Almost wondering if that's "beyond repair damaged" low. Here's some backstory for...

So just replaced 2 100ah lead acid batteries with a LiFePO4 230ah battery with low temp protection. Also replaced the 30a PWM SCC with an MPPT 60A SCC because I plan to upgrade from 200w in solar panels to 800w next year. Here's the problem: shore power has been connected for 2 days and the...

Newbie question. Have a LiFePO4 230 ah battery for my travel trailer. I want to accurately know the life of the battery while camping and be able to charge it at home when storing in the off season. What equipment can you recommend? Do I just get a voltmeter to determine the present state of...

Currently have a 30 amp SCC in my travel trailer. Want to pull it out and replace it with a 60 amp SCC (adding 600 more watts of solar panels eventually. Since my current wiring is only rated for 30 amp, I'm assuming I need to re-wire for 60 amp from the SCC to the battery bank? Yes?

Currently have a 200w roof mounted panel and 200W renogy solar suitcase panel. My controller is the GoPower GP-PWM-30-UL (BLUETOOTH®-ENABLED - LITHIUM COMPATIBLE). 1000w inverter (which I plan to upgrade to 2000w at some point. Currently have 2 100ah Lead Acid severe duty batteries. Question...
