Hey folks, I just recently installed 2x 95W Solar Panels, 1000W pure sine wave interver interver fuse, and regulator I'm looking to upgrade my house batteries to a bank of two lifeline 6volt (...

I think you;re going to find that a van's alternator is a poor method for charging big batteries like that (unless you have an ambulance alternator, the last one I saw was 600A). The solar is definitely going to help but I think you'll hit a wall at night trying to run concert level sound. A generator is where I think you'll end up if this is put in use.
Well if I can't get a converter in time I guess I'll just leave it for now as I won't really be plugged into shore power anytime soon. I just wanted to make sure that when I wire in the AGM batteries to the system I won't be risking anything. I only have a little 650W Putt putt exterior honda generator so I'm not too worried about genny charging
From what I understand if I take the FLA 12volt out and put the AGM batteries in, I'm just throwing them through a low powered converter, may need to change the wire.
Converters don't seem that badly priced and I can get anything through gpelectric at cost + 10.
They have Converters and Transfer switches
So I'll wait until after the trip to get those in I guess
