Why do you need 320v or 240V batteries?
First, 240V AC is an average, it’s actually 320V peak to peak, so you’d need 320V to use a simple switch. Second, the more cells you have in series the greater the chance that the whole battery will die. It’s like a chain, the battery capacity is determined by the weakest cell in the series.
Why not a 240V battery bank-solar PV discussion?
A 240 bank will allow me to run a plain inverter as opposed to a transformer / inverter which are expensive, inefficient and break more often. I just see no sense in converting the electricity from low voltage to 240V. A 240VDC bank would not be sufficient. You’d probably be wanting closer to 340VDC plus conversion losses. adam-cyberspace writes…
What to do when a new battery is installed?
Step 1 – After a new battery has been installed, the engine could idle low or stall out altogether. When this happens hold the accelerator pedal to help engine to continue to run.
Why is my van battery constantly Diying?
Battery died with the van off and the radio on for more than 5 minutes. Literally jumped it all the time. I replaced the battery, battery didn’t work. Found out it wasn’t charged when I bought it (as a lot of places don’t pre-charge them now) so I charged it and it worked fine.

What to do if you have electrical issues after replacing a battery?
If you’re experiencing electrical issues immediately after a battery replacement or disconnect, make sure the battery cables were re-attached and tightened down properly. Herculean strength isn’t necessary, but the cables should be snug and not move around or come off of the battery posts.
Why did my car not start after replacing the battery?
It was a bad right fuel pump the whole time after all that replacing. haha. lesson learned. We stopped at a gas station, when restarting the car it didn’t start; nearly emptied the battery. Being a Friday and past normal working hours we were forced to take a motel, to which we had the car towed.
Why do 240V circuits not require neutral lines?
In some wiring codes, each individual plug in a duplex outlet in a kitchen needs a separate breaker. They run a 240 V line to the plug, wire two hot lines each to the hot on a different plug, wire the one neutral line to both neutrals, and break off the tab connecting the two hots.
What’s the difference between 120V and 240V main panel?
Both supply voltage levels are single phase supply system except two hot wires provide out of phase (180°) voltage as compared to 120V between hot and neutral. These three wires enter to the meter box and then connect to the main panel box.
Can a 240V outlet be connected to a 0V breaker?
Not sure if the line is dedicated, but I’ve seen where the two Hots of a 240v circuit were wired to the same Main Hot-leg of the breaker panel. Every other breaker in the panel is on a different hot leg, so adjacent breakers should measure 240. If some how they are both on the same Hot Leg, and you measure across them, you get 0v.
