  • Post in thread: Unanswered threads

    So I’m always looking at the unanswered threads... seeing if there are any that with my limited knowledge I might be able to help. There are 6 pages of them... is it possible that between us we could try and answer all of them... it must be disheartening to get zero replies...
  • Post in thread: I should have known better... (sorry, ranting)

    YouTube is all about the drama unfortunately... the algorithm demands it... no drama ..no clicks.. makes for a very divisive society... that’s why I like this forum.. full of good people and good info..?
  • Post in thread: It says lithium iron phosphate but they are in LiPo style pouches

    I think I’d be more concerned if you’d found a bunch of 18650s tbh..
  • Post in thread: Unanswered threads

    It would be a great affirmation of the forum if no threads go unanswered...
  • Post in thread: Unanswered threads

    Best thing to do is search the forum... if you can’t find the answers there, then start a thread and see what happens.. otherwise I’m all ears...?
  • Post in thread: USING LEAD ACID SETTINGS ON LIFEPO4

    Do they reach eg 3.6v or 3.65v...? Didn’t an earlier comment mention that you may have one cell triggering the bms cutoff ... while the others are still undercharged... just trying to help..

  • Post in thread: Can someone translate this please?

    Absolutely... I might check out the specs and see what Bluetti state.. ?.. don’t want any smoke...
  • Post in thread: Can someone translate this please?

    Not sure “mppt module “ exists ... only in the very confused mind of the person asking the question... this is a Bluetti I think being questioned.. the answer is basically saying you can hook up panels to the Bluetti without the need for an external “ mppt module”..( charge controller)...

    “Let them cook for a few days”... ?
  • Post in thread: Unanswered threads

    That’s a good approach... it’s not possible to help every thread... my knowledge is limited... so I’m not much use lol...
  • Post in thread: Oops - I shorted out a 48V/400Ah Lifepo4 battery

  • Post in thread: Need BMS for eve 280 cells

    You mentioned pulling 300a... battery hookup have some 300a ... good to have some wriggle room... they are made by Xiaoxiang.. which I believe is JK... https://batteryhookup.com/products/7s-21s-24v-75v-300a-lithium-ion-bms?variant=43085312884898 160ma balancing... so not ideal but heavy duty...

  • Post in thread: New person, first post

    So I think you’re right... if fully charged bay sits at 13.8 ... maybe set v to 13.7v and at 13.8 will show 100% soc... I’m no expert .. but using these threads to learn as well..
  • Post in thread: Opinions on how I should arrange my ground mount setup.

    Build it strong... never know when a bad wind is going to whip up put of nowhere..
  • Post in thread: USING LEAD ACID SETTINGS ON LIFEPO4

    If it was me... I would stop using the system... take the battery apart... test the cells.. see if you have any duds, look at the bms.. get a spare bms of similar spec.. rebuild the battery with the new bms.. see how it performs..obviously I can’t tell you to do that because I’m not qualified...

  • Post in thread: Apexium 280ah Enclosures

    The bms PCB is something I’ve not seen before... beats all the wire spaghetti creeping around... I’d imagine it’s cheap to manufacture..mind you everything is in China.. Good timing... Red Sea looks like it’s being avoided by China now... nightmare for shipping..?
