    12 or 24 volt?

    Welp, what it boils down to is the sellers on Amazon that I posted give the SAME 5 year warranty for HALF THE PRICE of the online seller above agruing with me. I for one, having TAUGHT basic electricity and electronics for the Navy back in the early 80s, while I was awaiting my class in nuclear...

    12 or 24 volt?

    Good info in the links posted above. I have been reading the reviews over the past year or so on the several main sellers of them and I am pretty sure there were more than a handful of posts that identified the quality of cells. They also carry good reviews for mfg/seller replacement and...

    12 or 24 volt?

    You are wrong. When I first joined these forums a few years back, there was a guy named Will Prowse that reviewed solar components. He is on youtube with lots of videos breaking down the various batteries on amazon. In particular, the BMS. You would be benefitted greatly by going there and...

    12 or 24 volt?

    Depends on the BMS, they are rated different for different purposes. I would go Amazon and get them there, still cheap and reliable as well. All the ones 100ah and above have 100a charge/discharge rates.

    12 or 24 volt?

    I highly recommend going to 24v system. I have been living in the west TX desert, off grid now for over 4 years. I have a 24v system, started out with a 12v system until I could get set up, a month or so later. I would have went 48v but I am paralyzed from T4(chest) and my power chairs are 24v...

    Cheap Chinese LifeP04 batteries?

    I am looking at getting one or a pair...researched and still hesitant to throw money at a possible cheap batt. What have you disliked about them so far? I am FROM east TN (Newport) and moved to the desert here in 2018, off grid.

    Water purifiers

    I have used the Sawyer filter at my house to filter all my drinking water for two years now, after learning about it on hiking forums. Wal Mart carries them for twenty bucks, rated for 100,000 gallons. Log 6 tds and log 5 on bacteria. Can't beat that with ANYTHING. It is the same as dialysis...

    I am Will Prowse

    Glad to meet you Will. Hope you regain your health soon and I will start viewing your solar videos. I am planning on selling my big telescope to finance my solar setup. When I bought it in 2003, I had planned to take it to the southwest for the dark skies there, but never got around to it. Oh...

    Intro (without music...so far)

    Howdy folks, standard 'here I am post'. I've been reading on these forums, Bob's blog and you tube channel for about a week. I am planning on finding a cheap parcel of land in the Southwest(love heat and can bear cold if it's not snowing for more than a few days) and heading there to live...
