Clearly explained. You answered all my my questions. Your reasoning can even be extrapolated to 48v system which is getting very popular these days.

[MrOrangeonion]

That was insanely well explained, the only thing, i wanted to know what was it to use to get the 24 back down to 12, what is used to do that?

[soggybottom]

I am planning on going through generators then solar. these systems are really starting to peak my interest.

Nice explanation for the layperson. Thanks!

Question...
I have a 1200w, 1000wh {999wh} with an input of 200watts of solar Power station. i was told i can get a 12v to 24v converter and attach to my 100w solar panel, then the power bank above, so i can double my solar input to 200w, my max input wattage for the power station.Is that correcct and, is that the way i hook it up.?
Also, if i get an extra battery to connect to it for extra hrs of usage because i have to run a small 12v fan or, floor fan, how do i do it.?
P.S.
What is a gd either flexible, hard or foldable 100w Monocrystaline panel that is the least expensive and have you herd of the paowire 300ah LifePO4 phosfate battery avertised on Temy for $364.00

I have a somewhat unique setup… I have a box truck with an onboard 7500 watt liquid cooled diesel generator, single pole. Which tows a mobile food unit (street food vendor) the trailer usually runs on shore power at events, but sometimes I need to run it off of my own generators. I have two 3500 watt inverter generators running parallel and I use a NEMA 14-50p style plug (RV 50 amp) to plug into the adapter between the two generators. The truck (not trailer) is just a dry storage rig, but it has AC, heat, lighting, and running water. I’d like to figure out how to have an inverter setup in the truck that can run the three refrigerators in the trailer while in tow. I usually put one of the two inverter generators on the tongue of the trailer and run the refrigerators that way, but it’s cumbersome and costly, plus it’s additional weight on the tongue that I’m trying to avoid. The combined amperage on startup is 18 amps at 120 volts, and 10-12 amps nominal. I’m looking for a three hour maximum runtime and would like the alternator from the truck to charge the batteries (I’m looking for minimal run time on the generator) is this a realistic setup, or am I too far into the weeds?

Can I hook up 24 volts for my r/v 12 volts ?

[williamoneill]

I am installing a 24v trolling motor on my boat . I want to install lithium batteries. My question . Is would I get better performance out of running 2 12v in Series. Or 1. 24v battery?

[ThinkSimply]

My question is, when running a device, will it last longer on the 24v than the 12v because the AH doubled just from wiring my 2 - 12v's 100ah into series?

Is it just me or is the audio out of sync in this video?

Another reason to never place your battery upside down is: all the power will fall out.

How do I know this? Well, while Newton had an apple fall on his head, I had a battery fall on my head.
