Ideas needed for 12v systems if I do 24v
I want to do a 24 volt system so I can use the Magnum MSH4024M Hybrid inverter instead of the MSH3012M. The question is how to power the existing 12 volt stuff. 1) Use an MPPT solar controller to k...

. Also make sure the inverter will handle the AC start up surge.
It's not a good idea to tap 2 of 4 batteries for 12v. I've done it, and the tapped pair do not 'recover' to full voltage of the other two when charging at 24.
You're not going to get much run time on AC with 4 batteries.
