After I got my "SELTERM" lugs, which is highly rated and recommended on Amazon and here on the forum, I was disappointed to say the least
Found a place that sales big boys lugs
Attaching photos so you can see the difference (both are 0/2 awg / 70mm with M8 hole)
* In the photo is another lug...
EVE 280K vs EVE 304 vs CATL 304?
I've heard that the 304 bloat more? is that true? does it affect anything?
What is the current recommended alibaba battery sellers? I've seen that Docan is out of the picture, and that Amy is cool
Got some cables from a local store, fine strands cables are super duper hard to source here, so I was happy to just find a store
Went back home took a second look at the ends, looked not as I expected, got a few strands and grazed them with a knife
It's aluminum! it's coated with something that...
SmartSolar MPPT 150/45 130 x 186 x 70 1,3kg - $230~
SmartSolar MPPT 150/60-Tr 200 x 250 x 95 3kg - $375~
Why the big jump? in everything
More than twice the wight and such
Is it a different product under the same name? more advance in efficiency or something?
Gonna hook it up to two 550w...
Any thoughts on them?
For victron mppt -> battery, battery <-> hybrid inverter, battery -> Orion 24/12 70A
Blue sea is easier for me to source... but I haven't seen anyone talks about them, nothing on youtube, a mystery
Midnite has din rail breakers, which I found easier to work with, not sure...
Searching for hours and didn't find something...
Searched for 6U but most of them don't support the weight
My only limit is the height, must be max 16"
Wall mount is ok but preferer something on floor / wheels
(each battery is 5.2"~ height)
Attached is the QR
I typed it manually because it can't read the QR code - D4110021300B5CB3A0M84T2C
Decoding failed in multiple sites / apps
The seller says it's CATL...
Also - can anybody identify and BMS?
I want to mount 5 610w bi-facial to my camper (it's diy, roof is metal)
I want to give them a few cm above the roof for that sweet sunlight to hit the back of it, even if it's just a little bit.. (and also let wind cool it)
unistrut will block it
z brackets - i see people put 6 for a 350w panel...
Does anyone knows If I can connect my server rack battery (pace bms, it has a victron protocol option) CAN to the victron mppt ve.can directly?
All I could find is with the GX device in the middle
I looked at a lot of spec sheets for panels when researching what to buy
And they all have a range, for example 590w-620w, with 5W jumps (590, 595,600...)
That's a lot of variants, and I don't get it
Why not just put two options - 590W and 620W
The price difference is negligible, the size is...
I have a 24v system with a 24v inverter
But, there was no way to avoid it, I got some 12v appliances (30A)
I've considered a few options but don't know which route to take, in terms of efficiency / complexity / price
1. Getting one of those generic 30A 24V to 12V step down, connect to the 24v...
My setup is 4 panels connected to Victron 250/100 and one panel connected to Axpert king 3kva 145v/1500W mppt
The group of 4 doesn't give me what I exacted.
It's most noticeable in the morning, where the one panel voltage is 31v and start producing, the 4 together are 26V expected to be 120V...
I was just wondering
I have the victron 250/100
Panel is 610w 49voc with 0.24%
I live in a hot climate
Currently connected 4 panels in series, voltage is like 150v...
If we calculate the temp coeff, 4 panels are the max, but most of the year 5 panels will work on smoothly without a problem
But...
Is there a way I don't know of? or 4 is the max no matter what? (other then modifying the panel...)
5 series with temp coeff will go over 250v, although realistically I don't think it will ever reach that voltage, coldest ever recorded here is like -10C, 40 years ago, avg is 5C coldest
The...
2 server rack batteries 200A 24V connected in parallel
The app shows that the designed capacity is 200ah
The sticker on the battery says 5120Wh (each one)
Am I missing something?
Hey
I have the Conversol A8 3K, which is identical to the Axpert King 3K
I've connect it to my IMD (IT system, similar to ELD)
And the the IMD trips
Nothing is connected except the inverter...
And the IMD is at the highest trip rating (23kohm,230V)
(An insulation monitoring device monitors...
(For RV)
I'm upgrading my solar and looking to buy an additional mppt (currently using the axpert king but it's limited)
Looks like Victron MPPT are the golden standard but pretty expensive
So I'm wondering if there are other mppts with the same quality / performance but cheaper?
Hey all!
I'm going to build a 15KWH system for my RV, so I can work remote reliably
I'm a beginner, and have a few questions,
Battery:
1. What are the current most recommended diy box? laying flat
2. BMS - why is the new Inverter JK-BMS such a big deal? until now BMS warnet able to communicate...
Didn't find anyone on the internet talking about them

I'm about to buy their server rack battery just wanted some reassurance before pouring my money into them
I'm deep in the rabbit hole
I got a feeling lately that amazon is just a aliexpress with higher prices, everything is chinese and finding a trustworthy brand is like finding a needle in a histake
Looked at an amazon store that claims that they are usa based, started digging and there is nothing...
Hey
The current state of offering locally is really lacking, I wanted to build a DIY Lifepo4 but restricted in importing only batteries with the IEC62133 certification.
Anyone knows of batteries with this cert? can be cells or complete batteries
My current inverter is a hybrid all-in-one inverter
The so I prefer not to discard it.
I can get 24v lifepo4 batteries but from a size / space / price / efficiency perspective, i prefer a 48v(51.2v)
Is there a way?
Thanks!
25.6v - 200A (5kw x 2 parallel, there is a mistake in the specs)
This breaker is probably not DC rated, but every server rack battery has one of those non dc rated stuff
Found this for the breaker
Should I put a 200A T class fuse at the cable going to the inverter?
MRBF 200A at the terminal...
