I'm not an electrician but I have learned heaps of stuff. When I go into the electronics store and ask for stuff, I can have a jargon conversation. I think they are a little surprised that I know what I am talking about because it is mainly a mans domain. There are lots of guys in that store. It's called jaycar.com.au
Tonight I soldered xt60 connection to a long connection lead and then connected that to a 12v to 24v converter. I had to solder that together too. Then I connected that to my Voltx 100ah battery box. That has increased my output by 1200watts approx max to now, 2400watts max approx. The box also has Anderson plugs which plug into the solar panel which is 510 watts. So even on a cloudy day it is generating power and charging my battery.
I am getting there. It is an expensive project/s but it will pay off in the long long run due to the money you save with electricity. Just like our petrol prices over here which are very high, so is our power, especially in this State. So it feels good to be independent of that.
I hope I didn't go on and on about it. Can be boring if you are not into it.
Your Bluetti you chose is a good model Mark. Good size and I think you can have an extra battery. You should go onto YouTube and have a look at what people are doing to expand their capacity with their Bluettis. Very very interesting and I always learn something.
