LFP Battery Bank runs the air conditioner!
Yesterday, I added the new 230Ah battery pack to the previous and smaller ones (totaling about 225ah), and wired up the "new" Inverter. I'm still waiting for delivery of a good soft-start device (a learning device, replacing the AC unit's "start" capacitor and also optimizing use of the "run" capacitor). But I couldn't resist trying it, just once for a couple of hours.
This was the original OEM AC unit form 2006. It ran great, although I turned it off after a couple of hours on "maximum cool" with the temp dial turned to maximum cold. The batteries still had plenty gas left, although my maximum run time is probably only about 3.5 hours (leaving lots of battery power in reserve for "other things".

With these final upgrades done, the "ultimate 2619" will be pretty much finished. No Mo' Money!
