Thanks all for the input and good discussion. If I can pick your brains just a bit longer...
80amp vs 60amp, I was reading the input requires 20 amp breaker vs 15 amp. My current system has a 15 amp breaker, but I can easily change the Square D Homeline breaker.
I also read an upgrade to 4 gauge wire to the batteries should be used for 80 amp. My distance is probably 25ft from converter to batteries.
Does this sound about right?
BTW, 100 amps with 4 GC batteries? Cool! #jealous#
And 45 YEARS! Wow. That's quite the endorsement ;)
Hmm, at 25' I think I'd go with a deck mount charger, even if you put in 14.8V and used massive 1AWG cable you'd still only be putting 14.3V into the battery which is barely enough to really charge it at a decent pace. That's the one drawback of low voltage DC, distance kills your efficiency.
