Lithium Batteries: What Size Inverter Can I Use?
This is a question we get asked all the time. The size of the inverter is really dictated by the loads that you want to run. Let’s say your largest load is a microwave. A typical microwave will draw between 900-1200w. With this load you would install a minimum of...
Are Your Batteries Constantly Going Flat?
Are Your Batteries Constantly Going Flat? A large portion of DC power systems these days don’t come with any protection to stop the battery from being completely drained away when loads are running. Over discharging a battery can and will shorten its overall lifespan...
Does battery voltage alone tell me how full my batteries really are?
In short yes. It’s not an exact science but battery voltage will give you a very rough indication of battery capacity. Lithium on the other hand is extremely difficult to determine capacity due to the very flat voltage curve that lithium batteries have. Let’s look at...
