    24 Volt System - Input/Advice - updated 6/19/15

    That's a heavy duty commercial / severe service dual purpose battery. -- I like Deka batteries... Weight 57LBS 185Ah-- it sounds right up your ally. I don't think it was mentioned previously in the thread. The 24V solar panel is mandatory, I do not think you can charge a 24v battery with a...

    Will an inverter run my compressor!?

    Get the full experience, go with breaker bars and such. I can think of a lot of stuff I've considered hauling into the woods, a large compressor has never made the list.. And we haven't even gotten into how much battery you will need to run it. The rechargeable battery powered tools seem like...

    Will an inverter run my compressor!?

    Yes, an inverter will run your compressor. Will the one you mentioned run it is another question. How long to you plan on running it, and what batteries are you planning on using? I wouldn't buy a cheesy inverter and run it at is maximum. My personal experience with a cheap mid grade 1500w...

    Critique my solar setup!

    They also make a PS-15M if that is the case. I love the products the company has, but in my opinion their customer service sucks. I have not yet received an email response to the last questions I sent them, and they are intentionally hard to call.

    Critique my solar setup!

    I agree, you need the power in batteries, the ctek is not designed for that. I've got an old 100amp multi battery charger, something along those lines is what you would need, however... If you have AC available, why not have AC setup like an RV, so when AC is available, you use "shore" power...

    Critique my solar setup!

    I would scratch the mppt controller, they are very RF dirty, particularly if you plan on using any radio gear. The morningstar prostar pwn PS-30M is very quiet and will not cause any problems. It will also give you a little extra room for possible expansion. I'm not a big fan of 6v golf cart...

    misc dual battery winch solar electrical questions

    You can definitely reduce the winch amperage draw with copious use of snatch blocks. That would help a lot of power. With your solar, it might take time, but you might be able to recharge and winch again if the engine was dead. Ideally with the engine running, with the other loads you mention...

    Using a high output alternator to rapidly charge house battery bank

    Should have popped by for drinks.. This mega alternator theory may only work with some vehicles, so what is the vehicle you plan on doing it on. For example, on my vehicle, the ECU controls when the alternator will charge and I assume how much.... There is a neat company I found a while...

    Charging battery bank via solar and alternator simultaneously?

    The way it actually works with my setup, when you start the vehicle, the solar system goes into "float" almost immediately. So the two systems coexist happily. I guess you just need the right systems, My main concern is that the vehicle charging system might have been fooled into thinking the...

    LR3 key issue

    The key will work if it is dead to start the vehicle, but not to unlock the doors electronically. I have a dead one. A word of warning I also tried Remote's Inc. 1564 Fitzgerald Drive - Unit #118 Pinole, CA 94564. DO NOT DO THIS ! Two of us ordered keys, the "other" guy had his key cut and...

    LR3 Compressor Removal

    If you depressurize the system first it will be easier. They are friction fittings. You push in on it to release, then the hose will slide out of the center. Here's a "how to" do it. A word of warning, the vehicle will drop, so be sure the safely put the vehicle on stands, etc.
