Heath Robinson Power System

 I have wound up with a three battery banks system. All very weird and a result of "fix on the fly". 

12 volt packs:

2 x 100Ah Voltgo

1 x 280 Ah EVE  

2 x 7.2 Ah Powertech 

24 volt pack: 

300 Ah Winston

These are set up as a cascade ... 

Other systems :

Honda 2200 gen set.

1300 watt solar panels 

Epever MPPT 40 A 

240 volt :

3-15V/30V 3-100A Voltage Current Adjustable

24 V Charger - HTRC P20 (no Manual)

Inverters : 

24 V 1500 watt Epever

12 V 1000 watt Jaycar

Misc.

1 x 280 Ah EVE cell - maybe use for a USB UPS ? 

They are set up as an ad hoc cascade. Yes it's horrible..

 Monitoring :

 TR16  Coulomb Counter Meter  : The battery and shunt are upstream of the common earth.  

The capacities have been set and the entire system is 100 percent charged.  It will be raining for a few days and I have the gen - set. 

Rated storage is just shy of 13kWh. It will be interesting to find out the actual capacity.
