    Questions about LVD's Low voltage disconnects

    I got a 24v 2500 watt pure sine inverter. It would draw about 104 amps max. I got 2 lvds i'm interested in a 100a and a 200a. I would never draw over 100 amps. But someone said i could get a spike over that. I was wondering if a spike would trip the lvd because i heard it can handle spikes above...

    or add 16 batteries and it would solve the problem.

    BYD 24V LiFePo4 Battery Modules

    Anyone know if these battery would work with a morningstar 45a pwm? With this bms? https://www.techdirectclub.com/byd-lfp-8s-bms-24v-lifepo4-130a-with-connection-wiring-for-byd-battery/ Are battleborn lifepo4 different from byd lifepo4? This link shows how to connect my Scc with battleborns...

    Looking for opinions on my solar diagram!

    No tictac and I were talking about how many amps the batteries should get. 12v 800ah c/10 = 80 amps. So he suggested a scc to limit it to 80amps. Problem is i'm doing 2s4p which gives me 24v 400ah at c/10 is 40 amps. So giving it over 40 amps at 24v ish is bad. I'm just theorizing idk if its 40a...

    Looking for opinions on my solar diagram!

    The batteries don't say they are c/10 rated i just said that as a reference. Tic tac said battery manufacturers charge their lead acid deep cycle batteries at c/10. For 24v 400ah bank (8 x 12v 100ah 2s4p) is 80 amps too much?

    Looking for opinions on my solar diagram!

    The batteries are C/10 rated. so 40amps is acceptable. My problem is i got 80 amps going to the batteries. Is that a problem? I got 2 arrays each array is supplying 30v at 40a roughly. Both go to one battery bank(24v 100ah x 4 sets). So there are 80amps going to the battery busbar. is that a...

    Looking for opinions on my solar diagram!

    1C= 400amps? so i can give my battery busbar 400amps and i'll be fine? tic tac said i shouldn't give my batteries too many amps. My batteries are connected to busbars. Problem is i got 2 arrays to one battery bank and its supplying a whopping 80 amps to my busbar at 24v. Since i got my batteries...

    Looking for opinions on my solar diagram!

    So i got 4 sets of 24v 100 batteries(two 12v 100ah in series). So i should supply no more than 40 amps to the busbar? c10 x 4 sets= 40amps. is that correct?

    Found another problem. The busbar down below says max amps of 210 @ 12v and 20a per connection. So each connection can only supply 20amps? That must be based and the depth and width of busbar. I am making my own busbars for my battery bank its 8 12v 100ah batteries. 2 batteries in series to...

    Looking for opinions on my solar diagram!

    Got a question! Very important!! If i have two 12v 100ah batteries and they have a c10 charge that would mean they can only take 20amps togethor. If i put them both in series for 24v 100ah is it still 20amps or 10amps? Does the c10 stay the same or get doubled? I'm confused. In otherwords if i...

    Looking for opinions on my solar diagram!

    So i found out 24.2v is 50% capacity and thats what this relay does. it also recconnects at 25v. This lvd is awesome! https://mwands.com/shop/product/battery-protection-switch https://modernsurvivalblog.com/alternative-energy/battery-state-of-charge-chart/

    Looking for opinions on my solar diagram!

    So i shouldn't exceed 80a for 8 12v100ah batteries but im wiring them togethor to give me four sets of 24v 100ah batteries. The ah is now 400ah at 24v. So my question is are 80a's too much now or should i only be supplying 40a's to the batteries?

    Looking for opinions on my solar diagram!

    2500watts at 24 volts is 104 amps draw. Its a 100amp relay should be ok problem is that it cuts off at 24.2v which is like 20% capacity left? idk. Id like to shutdown the inverter when batteries hit 50% dod or even 80%. Anyone know what volt on a 24v battery is at 50% or 80%? 25 26v? idk cant...

    Looking for opinions on my solar diagram!

    Just found a low voltage shutdown relay to go from battery bank to inverter. It says its 100a. But I have 8 x 12v 100ah batteries. Its a 24 volt system and i would rarely or never exceed 100a to the 24v 2500w inverter. Anyone know if it works or do i need one for each battery? Or can anyone...

    Ya looks like they can do hydro and wind too. Which usually requires a diversion load i believe. Like a 12-48v water heating element.
