Hey everyone, I'm putting together some 48V off-grid setups for powering CCTV systems and maintaining internet connectivity. Most of my equipment runs on 48V, which is why I plan to use four 12V batteries for power. I'm hoping to find a charge controller that can connect to the internet to alert me remotely when the battery is low. Any suggestions or advice would be super helpful, thanks!

I use Solar Assistant with a Raspberry Pi to remotely monitor my setup, and it works really well. Plus, have you considered using a 48V server rack battery instead of piecing together multiple 12V batteries? It’s a lot simpler and might even be cheaper! I've got three server rack batteries in my van system, and they're easy to set up and save space.
That sounds interesting! Could you share more about the server rack batteries? Would they be a better choice than using four large leisure batteries? I'm worried about durability since they'll be outside in tough conditions.
