not really, that only takes 8A input.. my BB takes 50A input.. much of the value of Lithium is it can be charged quickly, I can fill mine up from 5% SOC to 100% SOC in ~3.5h with about 35A of input... 8A is going to take you longer to charge than mine at 40% the capacity.. 8A is also a max of...

you can buy a 100aH battleborn for that price weighs about 30lb, 40aH is not going to run that a fridge all weekend in hot weather.. and if you need to restock you fridge with beer/drinks its not going to go all weekend in any weather. my last setup I had 100AH of lead, tried not to use more...

My wife and I are both in the tech industry, and for a good decade we both worked from home.. we used that opportunity to work from camp frequently, cuz why the hell not.. used a dedicated cellular modem w/external antenna I could hookup (would even hoist it into a tree on occasion).. but we had...

Wife wants him to sell it, he's been trying really hard as she demands and just narrowly avoided actually having to actually part with it.. large price hike is to ensure that never happens again.

I just got one of these in and I must say I'm rather impressed so far, Whip wont work for me as I need a wideband dual bander.. I'm waiting on the front runner rack to arrive for my TV, but I think I might get a 2nd one of these for my trailer and modify it to work with its racks.. I broke off...

Oh your a windows guy, perhaps this will suit your fancy: https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h2/ x86 quad core, upgradable ram, pcie, sata, 4w idle, 14w cpu loaded

his user profile as well as the license plate indicate Georgia, Clermont.

for reliability sake id suggest you look at an alternative to the RPI, check out oDroid w/MMC card.. Ive got alot of experience with lil arm boxes and the Pi has rather poor power regulation on em and it causes em to eatup SD cards at the most inconvenient time... for a while I kept thinking it...

KBB puts this at 8k-11k in very good condition for my area, seems like your gonna need to come down on price significantly if you want it to move.

you would have to grossly oversize to hit 35A on the solar side, for example the 300W house panels I've been eyeing have a max power output of 9A (w/VOC of ~40v), so even with 3 of em (~900W,27A) hooked up to a lil 100/30 it would still not exceed the 35A current rating on the solar side.. you...

If you've got to play tetris on your roof I can see multiple smaller panels with more diodes being better than a single large panel, trailer/camper roofs have enough crap up there (vents/aircons/etc) to cast shade and knock a panel out its a no brainer when your trying to cram as much as...

what about partial/diffuse lighting conditions? I personally have no desire to park my trailer in the sun in the summer time.. I camp in the woods, wouldn't higher voltage house panels and MPPT harvest far more energy? The system I'm designing now has far more raw solar wattage than I'd ever...

I've gone spelunking overnight with a couple candles and a coffee can, its amazing how your eyes can adjust to just about any light level, I was never in want of more light even in giant caverns.. the candle has a nice charm too it as the flickering/varying light provides depth to surfaces as...

Think he said he has a high power unit, so yeah he should go get a license.. the license is applicable to your family, so your wife/kids/etc can use the high powered ones and then if you need to lend some out to neighbor kids or other ppl in your party give em the FRS radios. Kids love em but...

FCC was rather dense when they drew up GMRS for the first time, half of the channels unlicensed and half of em licensed (roughly, actually more FRS than GMRS), they then approved mass produced 'blister/bubble pack' radios to operate on licensed frequencies.. so people like your self whom just...

mostly as long as they stay on FRS/GMRS bandplan, however they are not FCC Licensed for FRS they are still technically not kosher but I cant throw stones, my radios are not approved for FRS/GMRS either. before they changed the rules in 2017 basically everyone was a license violator, almost all...

Typical Aussie pricing, importing anything onto that continent seems to be rather expensive.. Prices in UK are significantly better, but the poud is rather weak recently...

All the information you seek is contained within the spec sheet: https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Datasheet-SmartSolar-charge-controller-MPPT-100-30-&-100-50-EN.pdf partictuarly the fine print, In these instances stop referring too and worrying about voltages/amps.. its watts...

All this talk of camp fires is making me envious, I might get to have one or two at edges of seasons if I'm lucky.. then its burn bans in every direction for several states. once it gets dark we usually just go to sleep like old farts. used to visit mountain towns for some fantastic fireworks...

oops your right, wth.. I just went and checked the spec sheet PDF.. it clearly says uV, but I copy and paste and it comes out as mV.. SMH
