oldjohnt Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 Nice technology progression Zulu, the freedom afforded by Solar keeps getting better all the time, even if sure expensive on the front end. Like you, I've installed several systems all on my own and for example I started yearssssssssssssss ago (50 year RV owner) with an automotive battery, RV Marine battery, Two 6 volt deep cycle golf cart batteries, added solar (years ago my first panel was 50 watts wooooooo hooooooo lol) Four deep cycle 6 volt batteries and more solar,,,,,AGM batteries and more solar,,,,,,,,,NOW LITHIUM BATTERIES AND YET MORE SOLAR............... And NEVER going back Its my opinion Victron makes quality equipment CONGRATULATIONS, John T NOT any solar expert but know what I like and what works for me...
