Re: Solar AC for large van
I would suggest renting a Honda eu2000i first (if small AC) and try the ec3000i if the smaller genset does not run the load(s). A Honda eu2000i is running around $1,000 or so right now. Also, run the…1 · -
Re: Off grid design
Lead acid batteries need around 2-6 hours at "absorb" voltage (around 14.75 volts for flooded cell lead acid batteries at room temperature) to get fully charged. The "optimum" is …1 · -
Re: Offgrid Over Voltage issue. Over Voltage light blinking on PWM
One other possibility, make sure you connect the charge controller to the battery bank first, then connect the solar panels next. Depending on the controller, some will get "confused" if th…3 · -
Re: cheap inverter that has low voltage cutoff but voltage is too low for my liking.
Actually, 11.5 volts for LVD is quite high for an AC inverter. Most are in the 10 to 10.5 volt range. 11.5 volts is an "OK" LVD for battery banks under, relatively, heavy loads. 12.0 to 12.…1 · -
Re: Battery Maintenance and Inspection
Lead acid battery plates should never be exposed to air. 1/2 full means the space above the plates. Empty is water level where the plates are just about to be exposed. Full is the full marker of the …1 ·
