    Switch controller leads between batteries?

    My controller is a PWM and I've switched it about 3 times a day for the last week. It just continues to flash the float lights while disconnected.

    Switch controller leads between batteries?

    Thank you. The batteries are all vastly different, 18, 65, & 105AH so charging them all at once is a no go. I will try to only use the 105 and make sure I disconnect the panels if I need to charge one of the others. Is covering the panels sufficient or do they need to be physically disconnected?

    Switch controller leads between batteries?

    I have a wanderer cc and 200w of panels, my batteries are all different sizes. I charge them all individually. I've been switching the leads when each one hits float. The manual says I should hook up the cc to the battery before connecting to the panels. Do I need to disconnect the panels each...

    Help with solar purchase

    I will be ordering 200w of solar on Monday from Renogy. What do I need to order to have everything I need to install? It is going to be set beside my Honda element. Currently it will be connected to my dual purpose marine battery. I need it to be as inexpensive as possible.  Do I need fuses for...

    BUYING LAND

    I'm looking for some land myself, I'm using this site and looking in Tennessee. https://countryplacesinc.com/index.php/Property/cwd-tr11-cp-349.html No money down, 150ish a month for unrestricted land. Anyone dealt with this site or have any experience living off grid in and around Tazewell Tenn?

    Low wattage heat gun capable of 350F?

    I'm going to be forced to be mobile in about 10 days, we had planned on a few more months but things didn't go that way. I make kydex sheaths and holsters and use a heat gun that draws 1800W which is way more than I can afford solar and an inverter to run. I do the main heating in an camp chef...

    30% imported solar panel tariff

    Ouch, I figured as much, I found several sites that said Renogy made its panels in the USA, but I didn't see any info on Renogy's site so I suspected it might be imported. I'm going to have to buy at least 200W in the next few months but I wasn't ready yet.

    Renogy 12 Volt Solar Kit efficeint and convenient? ?

    Do the Renogy kits contain everything I need to install the system? I know I'll need mounting points and hardware but this threw me: "$1800 for 200 watts of solar and 105 AH of battery" I'm working out my budget because my wife and I will be full timing within the next few months and that's WAY...
