[QUOTE="condor22, post: 244067, member: 1932"] Fluffy 1. Using 2 x 240AH increases your bank to 480AH from 390, the solar input and suggested replacement charger will still handle the increase, but will take longer to charge when if you draw say 50%. As I said 25-50% cycling is maximum for battery life and this will give you more usable juice. However there are only so many hours of daylight for solar and in a day for 240VAC charging. It will all depend on how much you use. 2. The Redarc BMS max range of 520W is getting close to the 500W output of your panels. I suggest you drop Redarc Techos an email and tell them what panels you have and the suggested battery type and total AH and ask for some guidance from them. [/QUOTE]
