12v parallel. Kepworth 12.8v lifepo4 100ah
Inverter is a topbull 2kw pire sine.

i got a 200a fuse, and a fuse holder for my 10a charge controller, and i’m thinking a 20a fuse for that.

 

If this is your inverter, that looks like only a remote switch plug, so you don't have to press the switch on the body inside your box.

 

Oh, thanks. Yea, dont need that. Just trying to add a diplay on the outside of the box.i have no clue where that owners manual is. I just know i havent put it in my truck file yet.

maybe i just need a kill-a-watt thing on the end of my primary extension cord. Less holes on the box.

Now we’re cooking with fire.

imagine the pucker factor. Out of curiosity, could i connect em parallel for the inverter, but wire em in series for a different circuit?

 

No BMS? Without a battery management system to keep the LiFePO4 batteries balanced you risk fire and explosion. This comes up all the time on the modified golf cart forums. That's why 36v and 48v cart batteries are single units with a built in BMS, not individual batteries. Be careful.

 

Is the plan to have the components all share that box for transportation only? Will the lid be kept on or off when charging? Any plan for vent holes in the box if the lid is being used? The batteries will warm up a bit and the charge unit will create a lot of heat that the cooling fans will need ventilation to get rid of. You crafty, so I know you got plans.
