I had plenty of insults ready for this guy about his lack of solar knowledge, and then as I was watching him rewire the panels I realized my panels which have been "temporarily" set up for years still are not grounded, and his are. So yeah. Subscribed because why not.

Thank you for the video and I even thank the people who commented here, I learned a lot for two sides

Thank you for your share. I recently installed this precise model and brand of battery into my RV, and it has been nothing short of amazing. The timing is perfect; I think I'll go ahead and order a second one and an inverter to run high-load applications. Thank you! By the way, their official website is usually cheaper than other platforms

I'm not sure what parameters you set for the battery but they should be:

Your batteries dont have low temp charge protection. If the did, they would reset automatically. The reason you had to " wake them up" with an external source was because the internal BMS had shut down due to low state of charge. Once this happens they will not function until the voltage is brought up to the required level. Many charge controllers will not charge into a "dead" battery which is why you needed a different charging source other than the solar thru your inverter.

May try looking at a diesel heater for keeping things warm. Minimal 12 volt draw, and fuel consumption is miniscule for the amount of heat generated. You'd have to get a step-down converter, of course, but you've already made accommodations for that in your build.

Thank you for sharing your experience

Growatt high frequency, transformerless inverters are great for powering resistive loads and small electronics but it won't last very long powering inductive loads like power tools, refrigerators, motors, AC units, compressors or microwave ovens. High frequency inverters like these were never designed for powering high surge loads. You may get lucky and this inverter might start a few of these inductive loads when the inverter is new, but as the inverter ages, 1 1/2 to 2 years down the road, high frequency inverters will fail sooner, rather than later with continuous use with inductive loads. I've repaired inverters for a living for the past 23 years and one thing that I've learned is that the surge current that's generated by these inductive loads will damage the MOSFETs (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors) in this inverter and will basically brick the inverter because the hourly shop rates for troubleshooting, testing and replacing all those MOSFETs typically will exceed the value of the inverter. It would be more cost effective to simply replace a failed high frequency inverter. A much better choice is one of Growatt's low frequency transformer-based inverters. You'll be much happier 10 years down the road when your Growatt low frequency inverter is still running like a top..

Awesome upgrades.

Always a great educational video 👍

You should change the routing of your battery leads. The positive and negative cables should not cross each other at all. If the cables overheat they could short out and start a fire.

Be sure that both batteries are at similar state of charge.. perfererably 100% before connecting in parallel. Let them sit for a day not connected to any load or inverter so they can equalize

Informative!

Wow, your introduction was fantastic! Thanks to your video, I'm even more convinced that LiTime batteries are great. But I'm curious about your thoughts on their new 12v100ah mini. Will you be releasing more videos about it?

You should add a mini split ,they are very efficient, I run 2 on my Bluetti with ease

(At around

Hey, instead of heat tape how about a sand battery?

What unbelievable video great content

That controller / inverter must be really tough to not burn up after being over input for so long.

wow you disconnected the battery. before disconnecting the solar panels .. that's cool I didn't know you can do that with growatt
