Okay, maybe it's my goofy brain but I have a hypothetical question for you brainiacs
As most of us know, when you use an inverter on a 12v system you are drawing 10 times the current you would draw from your home. So a simple Keurig which draws about 10Amps for a cuppa joe will draw 100 Amps from your battery bank. OUCH!
Soooooo my thought (okay some smoke involved.....) is how practical or possible would it be to have 2 large 12v batts in series (not parallel duh) hooked up to 2 solar panels in series with an MPPT controller giving you a 24V bank for the inverter and also have one of the batteries tapped off for 12V operation?
I know that the battery supplying the 12V would be used at a different rate then both together but how much would it be affected and could the same battery supply 12V to an output while remaining part of a 24v system?
Is it just me or has anyone else every had this hare brained idea?????
Have fun with it, I can take the punishment
