I wouldn't be concerned about only having one panel & 2 100 amp hour lithium batteries. For most users, one lithium battery is plenty. Where two become necessary is if you have a microwave that...

Victron manuals leave a lot to be desired, but as far as I can tell, you cannot connect a battery monitor sensor directly to their MPPT controllers. Your choices are to attach their battery...

While the WFCO controller specifications give the appearance that it can over voltage the lithium batteries, in the real world it is unlikely to happen. In the 6 years of having a WFCO converter in...

Battleborn suggests discharging the batteries to 80% if you are going to store them on at least one of their forum posts. I did this for a month & according to my battery monitor, the self discharge...

As far as I can tell, the charging of my replacement converter for the WFCO panel only does...

Yes. I have not seen the GoPower controller in action, but their specified float voltage on the lithium settings is a little higher than I'd like at 14V. Battleborn recommends 13.6V, although they...
