Put up a post on the size of a
battery bank, and also one on
commercial, off the shelf
batteries. There was a suggestion to read mainsail's blog, which i spent considerable time doing.
His is a great primer on technology and what to measure and what to look for, mostly if you are the
DIY putting together everything it seems mostly if you are
purchasing cells rather than a integrated system.
However, say I know enough about putting in a lead system. I know how I want a
charger,
inverter,
solar controller,
monitor etc. I want to now do the same but with LIFePO. This requires a BMS that I didn't have to have before.
Can someone provide a system, if you say you are going to
purchase a Victron/Lithonics/manufacturer
battery, and then what components are necessary to control this battery. Basically a
shopping list and schematic that would enable someone to integrate in with
solar panels, a
charger,
alternator,
inverter, and might as well add in
generator (though that goes back to the charger) and a
Linear Mode
