Hi All, What do you all do to power an inline vent fan to vent a flooded lead acid battery bank with a Sol-Ark inverter? On Outback equipment, this is very straightforward to program a 12V relay in the equipment. I don't see anything similar in the Sol-Ark manual, and just tried calling them and person I talked to was clueless about why someone would need this.
I have used one of the Zephyr in line fans in the past, like this one: https://www.thesolarbiz.com/zephyr-power-vent-fan-for-12-volt-battery-systems.html Does anyone have suggestions of a way to power something like this? Or a different way to actively vent a battery box? I prefer to not have a DC draw that does not go through the inverter if possible.
