Thanks man this is exactly the info that I need! Any good connectors that you know of that are smaller than the beefy Anderson battery connects?

I was afraid of that answer....anything that can potentially result in reduced output from my panels is definitely not what I want. I will see what connectors I can find for the 12# wire. TY!

Sorry to be a pain, but would 18# cause a problem? The 18# is the perfect size for these IDEAL connectors I want to use as the larger Anderson types wont fit in my controller box when the lid is closed. I am trying to find a good solution while staying slim and low profile. 14/12# wont fit in...

https://www.amazon.com/Aims-PV120CASE-Portable-Foldable-Carrying/dp/B078K5WHP2 ^thats the panel I am looking to use 2 of. Not sure if these details help: High performance: light transmittance up to 93%. Cell Efficiency: 22. 3% (one of the highest). Module Efficiency: 19. 2% (one of the...

I'm not sure the current that my panels will be outputting so I'm not sure what values to enter. The round trip from PV- on controller to PV+ on controller will be about 30' (10 to panel 1, 10' between panel 1 and panel 2, and 10 foot back from panel 2 (connected in series). 12gauge or...

I'm an electrical newbie (as well as a newbie to the whole camper/overlanding thing imo) so bare with me, but is there an easy way to measure voltage drop with what I already have? I have a good multimeter as well.

Need some help here....series or parallel for my 2 panels going into the MPPT? Reading this it sounds like series is the way to go. My wire runs are short, around 10 feet, can I get away with 18g lamp cord? Seems that’s basically what is used In the 2 panels I already bought for testing...

Interesting read and good learning as I am beefing up my electrical in my rig! Keep it up

Alright I finally received my watt meter and hooked it up between the battery and my fuse panel. With nothing on except for the LEDs behind the USB outlets and the volt meter output on my dash the meter was showing 0.0 watts of usage as I hoped. With my rear galley light on full blast, my...

I have the lightest Helonix for packing (bike, yak, back) and it also is a nice chair inside of my camper where my head doesnt touch the ceiling. That with the cot and 3 people can sit inside of my little 5x6.5' inside cabin space. For the longest time I have owned the Alps Mountaineering...

Damn those bags looked solid!!

Can someone tell me whats special about the ARB kit as opposed to any other goo string kit out there? It looks the same or maybe I'm looking at a different kit...

As much as I like the Victron device, it is slightly larger than the Renogy controller and it was quite a bit more expensive even with the built in bluetooth to get one that matched the specs of the Renogy Rover 20A MPPT I purchased. I also like the fact that I have an LCD display right on my...

Can’t wait to see this take life! Good luck and have fun with it!

Looks awesome! Can’t wait for the full walkthrough

It is the perfect size for my rear galley cooler tray. I couldn’t find any posts with this brand name so I figured I would ask. None of the big name brands make anything that would fit my setup unfortunately. Ausranvik 26-Quart Portable Fridge Car Refrigerator Car Fridge Car Freezer -4°F ~...

Alright I pulled the trigger on the 120w Aims. Will be fun to test side by side with the EcoWorthy and then I’ll just buy a second matching panel to whatever has the best results.

I posted the 1 hour stats for the battery recharge which was the 4ah. I let the system run the rest of the day not paying attention to time and the controller ended in float mode with 9ah supplied before I unplugged it. I will try out the inverter test later this week when I get some time thank...

The 12Ah battery test was just to see how well the panel and controller work as well as checking out the stats in the app. I wanted to see how many watts were registering in the system coming off the panel. It was bluebird sky with about 65-70 degree temps. This was not intended to be a true...

I ran my kayak sonar battery down until the headunit shut off yesterday. It’s a 12Ah 12v Neptune battery for the sonar. When I hooked up the battery to the controller without the panel it read at under 20% capacity. I used my “120w” panel for an hour. It generated 4Ah and reached a max of 62w...
