RE: Off-grid: How to Calculate the Battery Bank Size for Your Off-grid System or Emergency Power Needs
Thats the best option ive come up with too, charge the tools batteries via the solar. At the moment im charging them via their 240V charger via the inverter, but am planning to put in a dedicated 18V DC circuit so I can charge directly from the solar batteries.
Oh, yeah for the charging the 20v batteries i still go through the inverter too. I havent approached charging them from 12v to 20v yet.
Now that i think of it, it wouldnt take much more amperage than a laptop, so one of those 12v-20v Converters should work, but i haven't tried it out yet with the 20v batteries... https://steemit.com/off-grid/@jackdub/tech-talk-get-more-power-out-of-your-off-grid-system-with-single-voltage-conversion
