No experience with them but at some inverters have the capability to "help" out with AC power when the shore power isn't supplied. Hopefully, they would be quick enough to help out on compressor...

JB is good stuff but I wonder about it any place where flexing or any movement happens as it is brittle. Loctite is good, but has it's own requirements to work also. It is only very strong within a...

I completely agree with this statement.


If you need to run the AC for long periods every day, IMO, there are only two practical solutions, a generator or shore power. Batteries are going to...

Be aware that the entire battery bank capacity may not be considered usable and could have limits at 20% on the low end and 90-100% on the high end, depending on the setup.

We have that size...

You can get a tool to press in the arm inner bushings and those are designed to get the straight. I got one from, IIRC, Autozone as free loaner last time I did some.

A truck repair place may pop them out for you with a big impact wrench for a reasonable cost. Impact really makes a difference on stuff like this.

The 4/0 from the front has to come out somewhere around the rear batteries and inverter as that is what it pretty much has to connect to. The inverter and rear batteries may go to a tie point...

Roadtrek changed stuff a lot over the years and times, but the easiest part of the question is that the original wiring setup was very poorly designed with two battery pairs on each end with looooogn...

We charged at the same 120 amps DC at 12v nominal with the AGMS for the whole time, except when we were at 180 amps the early days. We could only control field % then so got automatic reduction at...

Your charge rate is actually pretty close to what we have only we would have higher DC amps and lower voltage on the DC side as you do. We charge at a bit over 120 amps at 13.7v and by the time you...

A couple of issues we ran across when trying to set an 85% SOC synchronization point was the limitation of the tail current, which can't be set higher than 10% of...

Thanks Avanti, great information.

I was thinking the shunt might be in the Cerbo or standalone, but in the same place as the control makes sense. I tend to think, probably, based on the smaller system setups that all the current...

I assume the BMS does not have all the current going through it and controls external relays?


I also assume it probably has access to a shunt somewhere in the system.

Do those monitoring keep a charge cycle by cycle history of depth, or even better a continuous SOC graph which would be slick if it was easy to have it sort out things like DOD range total or such.
