How much Solar?
Regarding spike back protection, I think it best to explain why..... Everyone should understand the protection parameters of their battery's BMS. The BMS is there to protect your batteries, from High

Where do you send the grey water from a washing machine?
Since all the gray water on Aquarius is piped into the bilge, and then pumped out. For the washing machine, I would say that it's a good thing. Good flow of soapy water to clean out the bilge water a

"Apple is examining a chemistry for the car battery called LFP, or lithium iron phosphate, for its car", that will bring the cost down for all of us
I don't know how the cost could come down too much more... I got 600AH at 24V for $3600. The only thing I regret is not getting one more battery so I would have 900AH at 24V. The price has come down s

Jose, The O rings might look good, but still a good idea to change them out if you haven't already done so. Make sure you put a lot of grease on the shaft before you put it back in the hole. Ken Aquar
