    Settings wrong on JK?

    Did you measure each individual cell and put the values in? Measure during charge or idle? I'd have 160 cells to do

    Settings wrong on JK?

    I have like 5 multimeters with 1 being a fluke. So I can always go by what they say.

    Settings wrong on JK?

    Ya I think if you hit the LiFe Po4 button it is a reset. I've done it several times when I was trying to set the parameters. Lol Later I realized if you hit the button it resets it and that's the reason why my settings wouldn't take I guess I can try and catch it again doing that. A lot of...

    Settings wrong on JK?

    Nope I hadn't changed anything but the balancing down to 3.4volts. When they were hooked up to the overkill BMS it also would say 3.7volt on some cells. Even though the cut off was 3.65. I've always wondered if something was wrong with the cells. This isn't the only bank that would show weird...

    This is the settings on it except I did change the start balance to 3.4 instead of 3.45. Thought maybe a little sooner would help.

    How big of a solar panel array do you guys call adaquate?

    How big of a solar panel array do you guys call adaquate?

    That would be a very interesting graph to see. I know when solar installers come around they try and sell ya on a 8kw system and make ya think it's all your ever gonna want or need. When actually it needs to be at min 2x that size for a smaller house. When the government mandates everyone has...

    How big of a solar panel array do you guys call adaquate?

    I guess that's the magical question. No one really knows how much time without production will occur. Besides night there are days or even weeks of not much sun. Think it was the month of December I had 2 days of sun. Around like 4 or 5 with partial sun/hazy skies and the rest was just cloudy...
