Ahh ok so when put in series you have 24v not 12v.. that does answer my question

Hello all,  I have not been here in a while..  I just purchased two batteries from walmart the group 27 deep cycle batteries. I will order my solar in the next day or so. I want to put my batteries on charge.   So how do I connect them together? I am assuming positive to positive..  But is...

It is been about 3 months since I seriously started my build. there have been some set backs But, I continue to push forward. Because I know the benefits of my efforts will pay off in the long run. the accident, I was involved in, after my first test run was a big set back.. But things are now...

Ok awesome.. So would a 20A DC-DC charger work? I Don't care if this turns into a big discussion.. we all have different opinions.. And I need  a damn good opinion.. I want to do it right.. but what I can't do.. is continue to spend money where I do not need to.. Do I need the DC-DC charger or...

Ok Great what size????

Well I have the Isolator.  Never heard of what your talking about..

Omg I was thinking the Isolator needed to go to ground.. But I suppose ground would only be for the ignition connection..

I am 5'11, Not a small guy, and ifg I can every get my van up to par.. I will be doing it full time.. and I will be mostly happy with the space I have.. would I like a little more space sure.. But right now, I want to get out there, work, save money, and maybe in a year or two go a little bigger.

ok, so if I am understanding correctly it should look like this Starter Bat Positive-----Fuse---Bus bar---Isolator Negative-- Grounded Bus bar with 4g cable House Bat Positive----fuse---bus bar with 4 g cable House Neg-----Neg bus bar Charge controller Positive ----Bus bar---Fuse---Controller...

home maybe you can make since of this? Correct or no?

I don't suppose you can help me with a wiring scheme, so that I do not make a mistake?

Di I need a separate terminal in the buss bar for each component? I am guessing so since you mentioned it's a bad idea to stack terminals

ahhh ok, This means I have some wire work ahead of me..

if you look just above the Isolator, that is a fuse box for a 100amp fuse.. NOT PERMENANTLY IN PLACE ( I can put that one closer to the Starter Battery if need be) I have 1 more 100amp fuse and I know I need a 3rd.. I have no idea why I only ordered 2.  I created another post about this.. I...

OK let me try explaining a different way. Everything, on this board the Isolator, the charge controller, and maybe a fuse box..  All of these need to be connected to the house battery...  So, in image #1 each component would need to be to be connected to the battery. In image #2  I could...

Hello guys, as you can see in the photo, I have all of the components minus the battery and solar panel the space I have to mount things is not that large.  Aprox 14"L and 9"H So, I am wondering of maybe  I could also mount a positive and negative Buss bar.  If I can do the above Then I...

Very well put, you are correct..

I would agree also with the previous two people aerodynamic play a big part.. but it can still be solved with a wind deflection on the front part
