    A 50ah battery gets you down to 2-3 days or so of autonomy (assuming 24hr load) to 50% state of charge. In an unattended remote system with no backup charging being deployed (I assume) in places with…

    I don't think that box is designed to be used with mc4 connectors. They make other boxes that have connectors, but this one is meant for wire. Maybe you saved a few bucks modifying it versus buying o…

    Photowhit - Good point. OP didn't specify 24v inverter, but it stands to reason it's a 24v system. If fusing each panel, that implies parallel and PWM controller. Need more info.

    As LH2 says, starting batteries have more thin plates than deep cycle. The larger surface area allows for faster charging and discharging, which is what you want in that application. CCA can still gi…

    Assuming the feeder batteries are series wired, that would be 3v nominal. What we don't know is the current draw. A typical alkaline AAA battery has a capacity of about 1 amp hour or 1000 milli-amphr…
