Yeah sorry it wasn't clear to me, ok?

Thanks for your reply. The batteries are at about 37% and the inverter had shut itself off because it was so cloudy all day. No incoming current. So they weren't trying to start it up... The inverter has never needed a "precharge" before, even the first time it was commissioned. This morning...

Hi all, new to the forum. We've been off grid for 20 years. I built a 432ah 24v lifepo4 battery bank 6 years ago. I want to split that into two 12v to use elsewhere, and have purchased 8 EVE280k grade A from 18650 and had planned on a 2p8s 560amp 24v battery. However, reading here has...

Hi, I have two 24v 280 amp batteries made up of 8 lifepo4 EVE cells each. A JK BMS for each one. They have been running flawlessly for 73 and 85 days respectively. They are paralleled to a Magnum 4024 PAE inverter and charge from two Midnite Classic 150s. A system that's been fine for over...

Thanks for your answers. I bought grade A so less worry about a bad cell or two... The batteries are put together right in the cooler at waist height, I would never have to carry more than one cell! I still have my 6yo lithium battery for redundancy. I was going to split into two 12 volt for...

Ok Crowz, I'm eating crow! You were right. Yesterday morning, I still had my older lifepo4 battery in the power shed so hooked it up to the 4 prong battery busbar after making sure the BMSs were off, and started up the inverter. Then I turned on the BMSs and viola! The short circuit messages...

Ok, back to the hospital, it's 70 miles away, so this will have to wait... until I get back. Crowd, I appreciate your reply. I will try it later, BUT the inverter was off so i'm not sure it's applicable.

Actually, you said "this is the way" which to me was ambiguous. You did highlight where I said one connection per pair but that's not definitive, so that's why I reiterated 16 connections, to see what your response really meant. Sorry I should have just said "what do you mean" by this is the way.

Thanks
