These batteries would’ve an incredible upgrade to my kit!]

Hello. Did not know what Forum to put this in, so here we are. I purchased an AAR expandable shelter. PDF brochure attached. The plan is to hack the 3 Phase requirement so I can run the A/C and lights on regular single phase. It will be used as a camping spot while I'm on my rural land clearing...

What a great contest.

Amen..we'll take a little gourmet where we can get it! I think the FC in Athens also has a good cheese selection...and salad and olive bar.

Sweet! We are near closing on 125 acres south of you. Athens just got an Aldi..opened last week. It's highbrow for up here I'd say.

Hey BeerCan. I'm still housed in Benton (about an hour east of Rhea / Dayton) but get over there frequently. We go to church at Westminster Pres. Monkeytown Brewery is good. There's a good range up in Evensville. Of course fishing is amazing. Holler at me and we'll arrange a sit down.

I meant to reply specifically. The diesel generator is an off the shelf Gillette 6500 for mobile applications. It's got it's own 12v battery and not wired into the 24v system except into the Inverters.

The saga continues. Everything is up and running, 5x5. Left the diesel generator as backup power overnight for a test, and the return fuel valve blew off and hosed the engine compartment with diesel, until the unit drained the tank. That's what I get for not checking all the connections. Other...

Thanks for this!

Jackpot. The $50 24v 7a charger did the trick, with just 30 minutes on the charge. It probably would have worked with just a jolt... Batteries showing 55% charge, after an unknown but probably LONG period of disuse. Now I'll run through each energy source and learn how it interacts with the...

Kayak1 wins the prize of the day... Talked to battery tech support yesterday. Basically, the BMS (large lithiums all have built in BMS for the most part) will put itself to sleep after a period of time (he thought 1 year) of no charge or discharge. This is not in any manual on the batteries...

UPDATE. First, thanks for the suggestions. Lacking the wiring diagram, I've been hand over hand through the entire system. All roads lead to the Outback charge controller. It's looking for 10.3 v to activate. While I get 24v on the meter right at the big disconnect fitting, once I plug it in to...

It’s just a breaker.

ZeroBaseEnergy.com is down. Their Twitter and FB have not been updated since 2018. I'm wondering if they were another flash in the pan grift? Is there a way to search for manuals on military equipment?
