if he attached em to the lid the'd never get near their rated output due to all the heat trapping.. they definitely are not HIT cells either, HIT Temp Coefficient -0.258%/°C, Solbian is -0.38%

Dont matter if your LFP or Lead, once you got this much money into a battery bank.. your still investing in expensive charge and monitoring systems either way.. otherwise, your wallet is going to regret you just sticking your head in the sand and hoping for the best..

Flexible panels are garbage..

it would have to be wider in another dimension.. so your looking for basically a square 300w panel? cant say I seen many of those.. I think there's some 150W panels about 40in square, but then two of those would be 80in long instead of 60 like the HIT..

Postup a photo of your roof situation.. I mounted my fixed roof panel ontop of the roof bars, this was to get it above everything else on the roof and nothing would be capable of casting any shade onto it... if you mount it below bars, your likely always going to have some shade **************...

dont use the space efficiently? You'd need a panel that has greater than 20% efficiency to output the same wattage in a smaller space.. and there really isint much on the market much more efficient than a Panasonic HIT. 3 HQST's would take up far more roof space than one HIT.

eh, the more hate for Air Suspension vehicles the better it is for me, its already hard enough to find em and they demand a premium over spring options.. on my vehicle it was a +$2k option originally, that cost me +$4k used, plus a flight a few states away.. dont buy em, please.. tho not being a...

form > function then eh?.. all my stuff is hidden and nobody can see all the cool blue victron stuff anyhow. besides, ugly ******** is how you know an engineer designed it :p

It'll be a trailer queen, so 55mph will be plenty.. the engine I got for it been upgraded a bit, it should be somewhere ~150hp/275tq... I might be able to find a taller 5th gear to slap into it that would let it go a decent clip without being all wound up.. probably need to upgrade the clutch a...

oh and did I mention they have lockers?

I'm not flat towing the TJ behind my InTech.. that would be nutzo

in US? yeah.. finding one in Canada.. pretty easy, after all they are milsurp vehicles there, took me about a day to find a guy willing to sell me his for ~$5k and he'd even help me import it. I imagine if I take it to a VW car show here, all beatup and rusting.. it'd win its category.. because...

Thats the idea, Ive got an ALH motor already in my garage fully refurbed and ready to go.. The plan was to throw it into the TJ, but it requires so much custom work (ie, $$$) and the TJ wont fit into my trailer so it'd never leave colorado, my wife would have to drive it separately and follow...

Volkswagen Iltis is what I'm after next.. Old enough to import one from Canada to US w/out much trouble, street legal and I can bolt an ALH TDI motor into it in about a weekend.. its narrow enough to fit up the 65in wide ramp on my InTech toy hauler.. oah and they are cheap.

I'd get the 30A with that panel and bank, so you can see full output capabilities and your controller is not a bottleneck.. the bank can take it, and when its not.. you can utilize that power and run fridge/fans/etc directly off solar while still giving the battery everything it needs and...

If your xantrex inverter is not capable of just switching to 24v internally, then yeah might as well run it 12vdc.. but if you ever need to replace that inverter, consider a 24v one.. converting it to 24v later would be rather simple, just connecting things a bit differently.. but it is usually...

<2ft would be perfectly fine, you wanna oversize all the battery connections anyhow, so even at high amps the voltage difference is negligible.. a bank of golf cart batteries in a golf cart exceeds 20in from one end to the other. but yeah it does matter, as in if you have to load one bank at...

I'm pretty sure the Mustang is about to be the ONLY car Ford sells.. and that must mean there's no market for small, efficient passenger cars right? GM Chapter 11'd a decade ago, everyone misses them today them since they vanished overnight right? If you want to drive a 25yro vehicle, then go...

A pair of AGM's can definitely take advantage of higher bulk rates, 15A would be a good charge rate for just one 100AH FLA, with two, and being AGM that can bulk higher.. well your hurting your input capabilities to say the least. my 325W panel outputs numbers 2x what your seeing. here's me on...

you run a second controller sized appropriately for your portable set.. wont drag nothing down. Victron is working on having multiple solar controllers sync via bluetooth networking, the'll coordinate charge profiles and behave like a singular unit much like very large (industrial output) solar...
