    system design software on DIY SF?

    It looks like members are using a program to design their systems on this forum. I can't seem to find it. Any help?

    20X LISH 272Ah 3.2v LifePo4, Panama City, FL $2,000

    I bought these from Micael B Caro on this site for a boat project that I never completed. They've been stored in my house and unopened. I opened one box to test the voltage upon receipt and then just now to post this ad on the forum. I screwed in the posts only finger tight in the four batteries...

    System Design Check

    What did you use to draw this diagram? I’m about to start laying mine out and it’d be great to have something other than ink pen on pad.

    DIY 24-volt 560Ah LiFePO4 battery (272x2=544Ah) with Electrodacus SBMS0 and Electrodacus DSSR20

    Where did you get the 20mm M6 Grub screws and bus bars from?

    Want advice on high current demanded 24V 280AH

    I’ve been studying this also because my thruster is similar to yours, a 24v 8,000w which means it’ll be pulling 333A. If you look at most of the Lith batt specs it says that it’ll provide 1C continuous or 2C for 60 secs. At 280AH x 2C you should have the ability to supply short current demand of...

    DIY 24-volt 560Ah LiFePO4 battery (272x2=544Ah) with Electrodacus SBMS0 and Electrodacus DSSR20

    Michael, exactly what 250 watt panels did you use?

    High current LiFePO4 cells for Bowthruster

    Flemmingdjensen, how did you calculate that 2C for 60s is right? I am doing the same thing. However, being a newbie, I already ordered my LISH 272 cells. My bow thruster is a 24v 8kW and was setting up an 8S2P battery bank using an Electrodacus SBMS0.

    DIY 24-volt 560Ah LiFePO4 battery (272x2=544Ah) with Electrodacus SBMS0 and Electrodacus DSSR20

    Hi Michael, I’m building a similar system. I’ve already ordered 20 272Ah cells from Michael Caro. They should be in soon and am now researching the components I need to support it. At the moment I haven’t ordered anything. Your post introduced me to DSSR20 and SBMS0. Does the DSSR20 replace a...

    Where to buy the 280ah LifePO4 cells?

    Some of threads on here about group buys or someone offer cells are months old and people are just adding their name to a 4 month old post as if the deal is still around. Is there anyone that currently has any of these cells available or know a reliable source for me to buy? I’m looking for 16.

    800 Amp system possible?

    You made the correct assumption. Yes, I’ve been reading that you’re correct about the charging too. The boat is equipped with a belt driven 200amp alternator that currently charges the 10 lead acid golf cart batteries. Not sure if that alternator will work with a 24v LFP batteries. Do you have...

    800Ah system possible

    I have a 12v boat and just installed a 24v, 8Kw bow thruster. No solar at the moment but, that’s next, just two alternators at the moment. I’d like to design a 24v system that has 800Ah. I’m hoping that I can make the 24v system support or replace my 12v batteries by conversion and then running...
