Hey Everyone,
I am designing a massive solar upgrade for my 34' Bounder. I spend most of my time 'Boondocking' in US National Forests and my current electrical system, I love puns, is sorely lacking.
The new system will have 1600 watts of roof-mounted polycrystalline solar panels and a second 1000 watts of ground deployed flexible (5)-200w solar panels. I will be using Victron Smart Solar Controllers all built around a MultiPlus 24/3000 inverter charger.
I want to store all of that glorious 'Free' power in 2-Tesla Battery Modules wired in parallel. The modules I am planning to purchase have the 'Hacked' battery boards already connected to Tenergy 5-in-1's, so that takes care of cell-balancing. I have a thermostat and water circulator for temperature control.
If I am correct, the Multiplus charger and Solar Controllers will handle the over-voltage changing concerns.
So now I am down to low voltage cutoff. Like most I was looking at a BP-100 until the fire issues surfaced. I read an article able how you could reverse-current through the battery protects, but at a greatly reduced capacity.
I wanted to ask if anyone is having trouble with the BP-220 battery protect? The BP-100 fires are being caused by the MultiPlus bulk-charging and overloading the reduced reverse-current through the battery protect.
The BP-220 seems to be much more robust and I am wondering if its 'greater' reduced reverse current is enough to handle the MultiPlus 24/3000 charger?
Thanks,
ML
