  • Need some troubleshooting help [SOLVED!]

    I'm helping a friend imstal and configure a solar system for his camper. He has installed the following components so far: - Three 100-amp Battleborn batteries wired in series for a total of 300 amps at 12 volts nominal. -540 watts of Z-Amp solar panels on the roof. -A Victron 50 amp charge...
  • Is my BMS bent?

    On June 6th I ordered an Overkill 120A 4s BMS. I did not put it into service until about 3 weeks ago. (Took FOREVER for those cells to arrive don’tchano!) It has been working perfectly until Sunday morning. When I went to bed Saturday night, all was good with the world. Sunday morning, it was...
  • Battery heater questions

    I've just added 28 Watts worth of heaters to the bottom of my cells. I'm trying to figure out how to complete the configuration and I have a few questions. For those who have added heaters to your battery banks inside of insulated enclosures, where did you put your temperature probes? Did you...
  • Large cells OK in non-stationary uses?

  • 6000XP FLA absorption programming.

    It's possible I missed it, but I'm not seeing any setting in the 6000XP FLA settings for an absorption phase. How are people coping with that? I've had a thought about using the equalization settings to synthesize an absorption phase. This is for a DIY LiFoPo4 battery with no comms. I want to...
  • Tail current charge table

    Does anyone know of a reference chart or graph or table or equation that shows tail current in % C to indicate full charge at different bank charging voltages? What would the tail current in %C be to get to 90% at various bank voltages? For example, for a 12V bank I understand that .05C at 14.6V...
