Lion Energy runs some solid discounts from time to time. Those batteries were $99 each at the time and most of the other parts were surplus parts from around the shop here.
12volt parallel batteries. Picture below is my first round at a DIY solar generator with three lion energy UT700 batteries and a Renogy 3k inverter. System works great .....looking to sanitize the wiring a bit on the next build and reduce number of connections.
Are the circuit breakers I used...
Class C Li Time Lithium Upgrade + 3k inverter. These batteries have performed exceptionally in testing and will be installed shortly in our motorhome. Inverter appears to me a better performer than our 3k Renogy.
Looking for any suggestions/input on inverter ac input into our 30 amp RV...
The AIMS charge is the only one of the 3 pictured that I have that will not drive the BMS into overvoltage protection. I will leave this on charge overnight and see where we end up and do the same with my second battery tomorrow
From a security and safety perspective I would suggest an attached semi permanent install. Something that would deture theft and contact with or by the customer. I am a fan of the portable hand truck power allowing for use elsewhere. I have one myself and when not out in the field it runs my...
I typically will see voltage jump up to 13.3 under load. This is a Li Time brand BMS and it seems to be very involved in these trolling batteries output.
I have two of the same batteries and have noted this voltage drop as well. The batteries do indicate 12.8 volts in a large decal on side of battery . I have charged and discharged several times and one of my three chargers is Li Time 20 amp. The resting voltage always returns to 12.8 volts...
Thanks for the information. I will have to try one of my other chargers and monitor voltage. The the charger that came with the batteries Does not pair well with this b m s. It just clicks on and off on it off. Endlessly, until my wife asked me what's going on over there. It has a rather Loud relay
