Not only that, but how do they rate energy at 412Wh? :confused:


Either the battery voltage is very low (much below 12 Volts), or they are including overall energy efficiency as delivered to...

Interesting that he claims optimum solar panel voltage for a 12-Volt battery system should be in the 30 to 50 Volt range when using MPPT controller. If correct, it makes the Thor-provided wiring...
