A battery has high current capability, so I would not expect any advantage in an LCB. If the LCB is of the buck-boost type you may be able to run a 24-volt motor from a 12-volt battery be careful an LCB can overvoltage a motor. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Aug 2, 2020 at 6:47 PM Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar <<a href="mailto:offgridsolar@sti.net">offgridsolar@sti.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><p>Thanks Jay !

<p>Anyone tried this? There are a bunch of LCB's on amazon also.</p>

<p>Probably an RV water pump? And an LCB should work. Who makes a good LCB for this Jay?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Where can you find some small maximisers/optimisers for a solar-only pump. This would be for a surface pump like the Flojet 11, 12 or 17 litre/min pumps. They tend to keep the pump operating when a cloud goes over or in low-light conditions. I think they are available for the 9325 but its probably over-kill for the Flojets.</p>
