I’m taking a little break from the lithium battery project today. Usually I don’t stray from hookups long enough to worry about emptying my waste tanks–it helps that I can…

It’s probably about time to talk about what I’m trying to accomplish with this project, and why I didn’t just replace my aging lead acid batteries. That would have been…
This post is going to deviate a little bit from my typically long-winded format and present a list of observations and measurements so far. In short, I’m very pleased: The…
Now’s where it starts to get interesting. We’ve got a bunch of 48V batteries that need charged. We’re sitting at 43.8V, after who knows how long between the donor Volt’s…
Ok, I know we’ve put a lot of text up with very few pictures. This is where we start actually doing stuff and seeing what we’ve got. This particular battery…
If you’ve been following along, you’ve seen why we want to make use of a 48V battery pack. Now the question is a matter of where or how to get…
Before deciding to use a Chevy Volt as a battery source, the plan was already going to make the switch to 48 volts. We’ve talked about why the RV industry…
Wire sizing guides leave out a part of the calculation important for figuring out the right size wire to use, particularly when dealing with low-voltage circuits where voltage drop can…
Perhaps the most significant change in this project is the use of a 48-volt battery bank. There are a number of reasons for this, and we’re going to discuss them…
Here goes nothing! After a lot of planning, and several revisions, it’s happening. I’ve started the process of replacing an aged house battery bank and inverter/charger with a new system…
