Hi everybody, thank you for the gold mine of information here on the forum.
I was hoping someone could give me some advice on my inverter/battery setup which is charged by 4 x 160watt solar panels..
I have a new Renogy 2000w inverter fed by 2 x new Eco-Worthy 280ah Lifepo4 batteries in parallel.
I have been using them to run a 150w TV and a 12w monitor.
The problem I have is that about an hour after it gets dark the batteries go down to around 11.5v, and if I don't turn off the inverter before I go to bed (after switching the TV and monitor off), the batteries dip down to around 10v and the inverter alarm sounds.
I'm obviously not doing the maths right as I worked out (from some calculation on the web) that the batteries should run my 150w TV for about 30 hours.
Am I doing something wrong or is this normal??
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers
Beavo
