Do you think you can wire these in series to charge a 48V battery bank?

Quite the system but way overkill for a van.

Why do my 12v DC 5amp fuses keep popping on my lights when i can plug them i to a small ac/dc adapter straight from the wall and they work fine. Im confused...

Wish you had a video for a 50 amp system on 12 volts

Is it best to wire a switch to these or just straight to the fuse box and use remote for all controls? Cheers👍

Good morning, how can I communicate the Pylontek C5000 battery with the Cebo CX and with which cable? Thank you very much

I don’t even know what you mean by the 12V connection to a 24V converter? Of course I don’t know anything about my electric system anyway but I’m really trying to! lol

I hope you see this question. Because I’m confused! lol! I’m moving some electrical stuff in my van and I need to know if you have to run wiring above or is it okay to run it lower? Like below the flooring?? Wish I could show you a picture but can’t do that here. lol I’m moving the AC outlet wiring. Thank you so much 😊

10% is a hell of a voltage drop, personally I'd try to no go above 3-4%

I realize this is an older video and so maybe you’re not still paying attention to comments on it. You pointed out at the beginning of the video that there was a inverter existing in the rig and that you couldn’t find it. I have a similar situation in my trailer, so I was curious what you were gonna do with it, but I never heard mention again. Did you just leave it in place under the assumption that it wasn’t gonna hurt anything even if it got turned on but for most of the time you didn’t even need it on?

I have a system with an off grid inverter and a lithium lifePo (48v) battery, trying to see what can work with 445wcanadiam panels. I would like to contact you.

If you are only connecting one device, in this case the DC receptacle, why are Lever Nuts needed? Can you not just go direct between the bus bar and the device?

On aircraft, all the wires are white...lol. luckily, the wire is marked. I just rewired much of my boats AC and DC and i wish I would have used yellow for the ground. Its what all the cool kids are doing now. Also, if you sell the boat and it gets a survey, yellow ground wire indicates recent upgrades

How did you make sure that the bolt for the l-track would be reachable fro the bottom?

Questtion on this MPPT controller. I hae 2 house to start batteries on my boat. Got to the boat and app said they were floating. Showed 20v from 2 100 watt panels 0 amps. When my boat is running my battery monitor shows -1.59 amp draw? Why? The voltage is 14.8 from motors. Shunt i sinstalled correct to a neg bus bar. All house loads are off during readings.

So using my inverter is basically a no, or it will destroy my batteries?

Great job, I love it! How many sheets of plywood did you use to make all those cabinets?

Who actually did this? I just got 4 batteries, shore line, generator, and 600watts solar.. everything works out. All these tables is so extra.

Those nuts on the solar array tilt mounts look like real drop hazards, especially on that many panels. I'd replace the nut with 1/4-20 stainless nut rivets in the aluminum angle for a nice clean installation and fewer lost fasteners.

I came to this video for the shot at frame 29:57 and you folks didn't disappoint! Do you ever get tired of people going on and on about how good your tutorials, schematics, plans, equipment, etc. are? If not, they are absolutely fabulous. Thank you!!

Outstanding! Will the Class T fuse fit into the ANL fuse holder? I'm guessing not so when they are available, the retrofit will involve fuse and fuse holder? Thanks so much for this amazing channel (and website/store)!

Will this device allow alternator charging of a lifepo4 house battery? Plug vans starter battery into the box then the house battery into the box?

Is there anyone out there who has problems with the LYNX Shunt 1000 showing the wrong voltage? Mine here shows about 0,2V less than the other Victron devices in the system and is definitely wrong when you compare the measured value with a very good multimeter. If someone has a solution for this issue, please write a comment on this - thanks!

The American system is **** most will agree on that.

Thanks just like u gave the confidence to build my solar/inverter charger electrical system u give me the confidence to attempt this as well thanks u guys u guys a huge help

G'day.. This is a great video for miss marched solar panels and the same applies for the every growing HYBRID camper trailers here in Australian.. I bought the lynx distributor after watching your videos. Can you advise if it's a good idea to run the solar POS wire from solar controller straight to battery positive to constantly Barger the batteries even when at home in storage.? My thinking is by running it through lynx Dist and having a battery disconnect switch solar would be isolated ,I'm thinking as the solar has its own disconnect switch to you can disconnect that if you want to shut down every thing. This would save a spot in the lynx distribution for other things and also leaving the neg wire connected to the shunt. Is this a safe and viable solution to seperate solar disconnect? Keep up the great work. Your channel over any other has reached me alot. Thank you.

Personally I run yellow negative for everything 10 gauge down and black negative for everything 8 gauge up. Mostly because it's a pain trying to get 8 gauge up in yellow, but also, who is running 120 volts in 8 gauge or up

Are these possible for Transit Connect models?

I might’ve missed it but how did you secure down the floor? Was it simply through the L track or did you also screw in the subfloor?

Any concerns/warnings for folks buying wire online, to be aware of copper coated aluminum wire being sold as copper?

I am seriously considering Victron products as the basis for a whole home battery backup system with solar. My problem is that despite watching many videos on UA-cam, & researching on Victron's website, I can't even begin to understand what Victron products would be suitable.

Why not just do what auto makers do and ground the bulb and battery through the metal chasis of the vehicle. That way, you use half the wire.

Hi great vids, thank you. Is there a reason you use seperate red and black wires rather than two in one outer sleeve( ithink you in the U.S call it 12 2 cable)? Thanks in advance

Are you still happy with the flooring?

I noticed your water supply only connected to the inlet of the accumulator, and you closed off the outlet. Does this still have the full effect of an accumulator?

So basically this is just a light switch , right ?

Excellent video! Is there any odd penalty for using different size controllers? Thanks!

This was very helpful. Just purchased a Brinkley Z 2900 and will source one of your kits after we get home after our month long trip in August. You folks make it look so easy.

Super impressed with cleaning lugs with rubbing alcohol.

Should be easy. <opens electrical pannel> <all wires are black> Well Ffff...

My favorite is finding only black wire in a DC power circuit, for both positive and negative leads, and distinguishing the positive by only using a section of red heat shrink insulation at the wire lug. I usually see this in battery bank wiring where the installer used what was available.

5 years ago ?! I think you were way ahead of the curve for this type of video. I’m versed in Ohm’s law but new to solar. Maybe you have one already but I’d love to see more on the non major components of a system ( not panels, inverter,batteries, charger controller). I’ll scour your channel for more and a trip to the library might be helpful. TU.

Nice video. I just bought a portable solar generator and want to buy solar panels to charge it. I would like to have at least 2 charging points coming from the same solar panels. Are there are any "distribution boxes" or something of the sort that will allow me run cables from the solar panels to different rooms and allow me change which charging point is active at any given time?

What are the advantages of 24v ac vs just using a 12v unit?

Purchased the plans for this box and it came out great! Any tips for how you pals secured the enclosure into the build? Thanks!

In summary - To know for sure what *your* wire color is, trace to source/load and grab your voltmeter!

After spending months figuring out how to build my system and buying and installing it all...my ceiling fan was wired backwards...who'd of thunk??? White/Black/Red??? It doesn't really matter does it?? Manufacturers think we're all experts...Well, now I know.

Hi Nate, Good video! Like a lot of people, I'm navigating DC outlets and using a mix of cigarette lighter sockets, SAE, and Anderson Powerpole for 12 VDC outlets. SAE is my pick for the composing toilet vent fan. Being a ham radio operator, I'm following the traditions of ham radio for the 12 VDC Powerpole connectors for radios. But, what about 48 VDC, which seems to be on the horizon for DC appliances? Can you do a video on higher voltages of DC and standards keep them straight, plus any connector standards, which will prevent plugging a 12VDC device into a 48VDC outlet.

For further confusion, white is generally ground in commercial RVs. 🙂 Oops: wrote this while listening and heard you mention this.
