Hi, I have a small cabin with a solar setup consisting of a 275w 12v panel, tracer 1210 mppt controller, two 70ah lead-carbon deep cycle batteries. The cabin is wired for lights and 12v sockets. I don't use an inverter
I want to run 4 x 12v led lights, a small 12/24v fridge that draws about 2-3amps when its running on 12v and a 12v phone charger occasionally. My question is do i wire the batteries in parallel to run on 12v or can I wire in series to produce 24v and take advantage of better efficiencies.
Will using 24v cause problems with the lights, phone charger etc? The controller is 24v capable.
Is my 10amp mppt controller enough or do i need to upgrade?
Would it be better to wire the fridge directly to the battery instead of going through the controller?
Thanks
