Hello all. I’m a nurse up in Northern California. Been in a self converted, 1998, 15 passenger van. I have one 200 watt solar panel on my roof, a 2000 watt inverter, 60 watt epever mppt controller, a fuse box, and two fuses. I had a cheap mppt controller and a cheap 12 volt, 100 ah lead acid battery that I picked up from Home Depot. Everything worked great for about two weeks. Then the battery wouldn’t charge. After research I found out it was my cheap 24 dollars charge controller. So I saved up and bought the epever and two, 110 watt yellow top optima batteries. I hooked them up in parallel and sparks flew! Charge controller is now off and everything is dead :huh:
I am so sad as I sit in my hospital parking lot still having no power.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. The same set up worked great for two weeks. I just added the epever and the two optima batteries.
