My immediate fix (later today actually) will be to connect the 2000W Inverter to the 70 Ah lead acid house battery. I've done this before with no issues (5A AC short duration draw only). My LiFePO4 is connected to this battery through an on/off RV switch, when boondocking I link the two. When...

I've just tried to find info on the BMS configuration but not surprisingly this is what I got back.... "Moseworth 12V 100Ah battery has an upgraded BMS with overcharge, overdischarge, overcurrent, short circuit, and low/high temperature cut-off protection. The specific BMS parameters are not...

Great suggestions both and I thank you. My hunch was to connect the Inverter to the house battery instead... now i will.I've never had an issue with this Inverter with previous (450Ahr totsl) wet cell batteries before. My current trailer has a single 70Ah lead acid type. It is enough for my...

Hi folks, well today I learned the BMS in my 12V 100Ahr LiFePO4 battery will not allow my 2000W Inverter to run. I've googled this a bit and understand the initial Inverter capacitors demand (Volts? Amps? Dunno) exceeds the max my BMS will allow so it steps out. I only found this out when my...

The auto switch is a little pricey for my needs and thank you for showing this as an option. I'll connect the two batteries in parallel running the + through a battery on/off switch. This will be used only when the house battery is down 50%+ to get me to the afternoon. I'll isolate the...

Good morning, I've exposed the wiring compartment (there's now a trap door in this closet bottom) & wow, crowded! I'm gonna shelve this aforementioned project for now but have a question re my 2nd stand alone battery powering my stand alone Inverter. Can I connect this 2nd battery to the house...

I have to remember the 10x factor when considering 120V and 12V! Your right of course and I can and will trip the converter breaker FIRST and then unplug the 30A shore power cord. What I am pleased about though is my grasp of the interaction between 120V and 12V in my RV. If I didn’t factor in...

Hey folks, update here. There is no easy access to my system unfortunately. I’m debating cutting out the 1/8” vaneer flooring in this closet to access the Progressive Dynamics PD 9130 and the back of the Distribution Panel. As it is it’s next to impossible to trace the wiring. Before I proceed...

Thanks for this a dandy example of what can be achieved by the boondock set. My needs are super simple as this ‘98 Aerolite 21’ RDB hard wall of mine is primarily my fishing shack. The lithium battery and Inverter will be held together in an aluminium frame which will be mounted in a closet...

“There will be smoke, loud noises, and maybe flames if that ever happens”. Ain’t gonna happen gentlemen, thank you for the quick reply’s. Can you recommend a simple transfer switch? Amazon quick search brought this up. I connect shore power to “A”, my Lithium battery to “B” and the switch...

Hi folks, I'm wanting to connect my stand alone 2000W Inverter to the AC side of the distribution panel, it will be powered by a 12 V100Ah LiFePO4 battery. I will leave my factory LAB system as is (PD 9130/no TCMS). The lithium battery will be isolated in a closet and I'll recharge it with a...

Now yer talking my language! I will definitely take this under advisement as it is gonna be about this time I'll have narrowed down my choices here. Much appreciated.

Thanks for this, I've recently finished restoring my 5 yrs young 70Ahr 12V marine LAB battery, a learning experience more than anything. In this the forum has been amazing, Batteries 101 on steroids so to speak, Lol. It went from 12.2V 100% SOC to 13.1V. It still self discharges quite fast tho -...

I understand a 6V LAB holds more amps than its 12V equivalent, is this true then for LiFePO4 batteries? If not than why are there 6, 12, 24V etc ones?

Ive mostly used C/5 in the past so ubet, best start there (maybe 5A more) to figure best bang for the buck generator wise.
