Hi all,
Well been a while but batteries arrived and dc2dc charger, so over the last few days guess you know what kept me busy.
Have located house batteries 1 under drivers seat with van battery and the other under passengers seat {as don't have much room to put them any where else}...lol On the roof theres 2 170/340 watt panels and the batteries are 2 135 amp hrs/270 amps.
So after installation id thought id give them a run
Well had on all led lights,14 sets of strip lights, 130 litre fridge, range hood fans, TV, bathroom extractor,roof vent fan, lounge room fans, diesel water heater,fridge cooling fan.
The day was over cast with occasionlly the cloud lifted for no more the a few 30 secondsor so.
the max amp ran between 10 and 15 amps but most the day was under that, with all that running batteries where kept between 12.2 to 13.2 volts.
So pretty happy with that, be interesting when we have a cloud free day as should be pumping some where about 28amp but at this rate been conservative should get a couple of days with no sun at all.
ill try and add some pics,
