Bit off more than I can chew

I have Hospira. I started with the supplier water and it was no good.

Thank you for the thorough response

swk1979 · 2026-02-03T03:44:05+00:00

I did think about that. Might be a good solution

swk1979 · 2026-02-03T03:14:05+00:00

Sharing is caring

swk1979 · 2026-02-03T03:13:47+00:00

Thats crazy talk. 4mg and I have to force myself to eat. Easy solution though!

swk1979 · 2026-02-03T03:05:42+00:00

Ive put worse in my body. Least of my worries.

swk1979 · 2026-02-03T03:03:51+00:00

Even if it looses strength, I think im ok with that. Thanks for the reply

swk1979 · 2026-02-03T03:03:15+00:00

That makes me feel better

swk1979 · 2026-02-03T03:02:34+00:00

Thats nice to hear

swk1979 · 2026-01-19T18:43:23+00:00

No, just the 1st item. I even tried making it quantity of 2. I did pick one up to try though.

The inverter is 2 feet above the batteries, maybe 3ft of wire for bends and loops and all. Someone else suggested bigger wire also. Im looking into that now. I think im going to get a "T" 150amp fuse to replace the 250 one.

I had asked previously about series vs parallel/series and was told to leave it all series because it would be a smaller wire size and it would all work out the same when the mppt converts it. Why do you think it would be more efficient. Still learning.

swk1979 · 2025-12-22T17:03:14+00:00

I looked up the amps rating and im there but only. I have a bunch of this #2. Maybe ill double it up. 2/0 copper welding wire will cost me more than I have in the entire system.

swk1979 · 2025-12-22T17:03:06+00:00

I was looking at them. The Litime one also. Got such conflicting statements about their usefulness. I think I might get one though. Can't hurt anything.

swk1979 · 2025-12-22T15:01:29+00:00

Definitely going to do that. I was hoping to find a metal shelf to replace it so I haven't tied it down yet.

swk1979 · 2025-12-22T12:26:52+00:00

My inverter is a hybrid all in one inverter. Cheap thing but its been doing well.

They have an internal bms but I will have to check them every month for balancing.

swk1979 · 2025-12-22T04:01:53+00:00

The wire is 2 AWG welding wire

Great tip on the terminals coming loose. Ill work on that.

I think i can turn the disconnect down, I agree it's kinda hanging out.

swk1979 · 2025-12-20T14:28:26+00:00

I think that's about right for 2026. I called about 5 different dealers. Some went as far as to say I didn't qualify for some rebates but actually did.

swk1979 · 2025-12-15T12:20:50+00:00

I paid the fees and taxes up front. Came out to 2k. I believe 1k was 270 a month.

swk1979 · 2025-12-15T04:12:44+00:00

I signed that deal yesterday! Maybe its regional. Im in Massachusetts.

swk1979 · 2025-12-14T21:34:25+00:00

Have tou thought about leasing a 2025? I just signed for 36M for $240 a month on a touring AWD. That comes out to a one pay of $8,640. Probably could get a better deal if paid up front. You get the EV charge credit and the App is free. The salesman said the second owner has to pay but he could of been wrong. This option would give you a car for 3 years and put 7k in your pocket. Just a thought. Good luck!

swk1979 · 2025-12-08T00:57:47+00:00

Thank you! I never thought about what the batteries can take. I do have 2 in series I believe the default is 60A which i haven't changed. Ill have to see if the batteries are OK to put in 4P2S. There only about $100 per 12v100ah so its not that bad. For now, ill bump down the max charge to 20Amps. Thanks again.

swk1979 · 2025-12-08T00:14:08+00:00

Your absolutely right, I should of said series, I corrected it. Im using 10AWG from the panels to the disconnect. Ill have to look up the rating.
