Hey guys, My batteries are coming up on two years old and i'm starting to have some low voltage alarms on my cheap walmart inverter. I'm not sure if its the inverter or the batteries, but I'm guessing the inverter is set to have lo battery way to high to protect starting batteries in a civic.
Power system consists of:
2 X 100 watt of Renogy solar panels
2 X 105ah Walmart Deep cycle batteries
Renogy 30amp PWM LCD charge controller
It runs a vent fan, tv, led lighting and cell phone chargers. The TV is where we have been having issues lately. worked great for the first year and a half.
I have been looking at some different inverters. I would love to get a nice Sine wave 1500 watt range inverter. was looking at something like a go power 1500 watt sine wave inverter.
But the battery issue... The Walmart Cells cost me $100 a piece. I see people dropping hundreds more if not thousands more for the Lipo cells... Is there a reason? I understand the lipos will be more stable and drain deeper but I can replace the Walmart cells ten times over for the same cost and recycle the old ones. What am I missing?
Any recommendations are welcomed!
