I'm doing it because my Victron SmartSolar is more capable and programmable charger than any off the shelf AC charger at the charge rates I need..

With LFP you discharge it to ~40% SOC and leave it sitting disconnected from everything.. also you should not be charging more than 0.4C if you want it to last. As long as you don't ever leave it unattended it should be fine, I charge my LFP this way.. but Ive got it wired up to both a fixed...

I'm sure you do, but the issue here that it is manual.. If you park your battery out back, plug it into shore power and then walk away.. who's gonna manually flip that switch when the charger gets inadvertently unplugged? A Normal Battery maintainer will simply stop maintaining the battery if...

they are constant voltage, load will determine current..

The word your thinking of is dynamo.. since everyone has an opinion on what a Generator is, lets pull out a dictionary.com: In this definition, the solar panel itself is a 'Solar Generator' as its what is converting photons into electrons.. the battery it stores those electrons in however...

you can do it, but if it gets unplugged the solar charger will continue to draw power from the battery, so its not a great solution for unattended maintenance.. If you had fixed panels and used a couple diodes to isolate em its workable.. if shore power is lost the fixed solar can keep things...

Yeah Plug-In Hybrids are kinda best of both worlds if your wanting an EV now w/out Range Anxiety, they are also really nice in the mountains.. that regen braking is great coming down a mountain.. you can ride that left pedal all the way down and never actually engage the physical brakes... with...

Any High Output inverter that has good efficiency uses 24v, my Engel is 12v/24v, all my Victron Gear is 12/24.. its not that big of a problem going 24v outright from the get go, I could switch and have little issue, the remaining 12v circuits for lights and stuff could be easily fed w/a small...

Over the axle on a little trailer like this, you cant count on it as static ballast.. On my first small camp trailer I made mistake of putting it up front, then when it was empty I didnt have enough tongue weight so I hadda reload everything up to make the weight correct again.. after that I put...

just zip em up between the screen and the canvas "window", they stow away under the mattress.

I hate plumbing, but here we go.. Starting off in the back I made a custom milk crate rack two carry the two water jugs, bottom one is bolted down to the floor/wall, top one is held down w/bungees.. 14 gallons of water, I'll have to swap the primary tank when it empties. Take the top...

meh, most all those are Lithium-Ion 3S configurations which barely produce 12V full, which is problematic with low voltage cutoffs in fridges and other things.. plus they dont charge really any faster.. so other than weight they have little to offer, not much capacity for alot of money. Now if...

They aint no problem, Ive been in tents for 30 years in Bear country and I'm still here, there is only 1 campground ive ever found that required hardsided and thats fishing bridge in Yellostone.. Ive been through desert storms this camper and came out the other end perfectly dry.. They are much...

its not gonna do much for taking the weight off but if the ramps are rated for a ton of weight that 700lb door + you and your old lady should be well within reason.. yeah they are not big strap hinges with a large footprint.. but mebe a piece of steel angle could be used at the hinge, but I'm...

Check out what toy haulers got for their ramps, they got nice big friggin springs that take some of the load off... my 7ft tall door lifts single handedly.. I imagine ur gonna be a bit more mass but my ramp is rated for like >1 ton so they heavy duty ass hinges. Ive decided to make mine a "draw...

that would be frigging incredible to charge a bank that size at max rate.. but if your going to attempt it, GTFO the internet and go hire some engineer who'll put this together in a way that aint gonna result in a fatality heh.. you are way beyond our paygrade.

Installed a new LP regulator today, same model as before but now its the High Output variant (291H) off ebay for $29.. swapping it out was quick and easy, out the box it was way too high pressure so I tuned it down to 11.5" on my gauge, then I shut it off and it locked up at 12.5", and held...

Got any FRS/GMRS Handhelds? you should be able to tune those into RX at least OTB

Tried the internal speaker? could be the wire your using.
