    Any thoughts on Zoomz batteries at Walmart?

    I use zooms 200ah and liked it so much that I ordered another. Here are key details to ur question though. Where to buy from I think is key from my personal experience just YESTERDAY. 1st purchase of zooms 200ah was Amazon 2 years ago. Next purchase was Walmart online. Same exact battery. This...

    How to increase bms amps

    Hmm, I will have to check the power strip, nice catch as I don’t recall even looking at that when I built this. This set up is used 1-2 weeks out of the year at our cabin and I haven’t gotten near the 3,000w ever. Most I recall pulling is 1100w briefly, but I still need one with a breaker for...

    How to increase bms amps

    Balanced connection meaning same length cables from battery to battery and, from - and + to inverter? To explain a little more, as for the use/need for 150a draw…. I only need this much to run my microwave and toaster oven briefly at separate times. My cabin draws 25a max most of the time...

    How to increase bms amps

    I currently have a 200ah zooms lifep04 which has 100a internal bms. I’m wanting to be able to pull more than 100a, so I’m looking into getting another 200ah battery. If I get another identical zooms battery and wire them in parallel, can I pull more than 100a without tripping either internal...

    MPPT SCC Recommendations

    I’m still learning the MT50. Is there a way to have a low voltage alarm setting that’s manually adjustable? I haven’t been able to figure that out if so but I’ll be taking another look at the manual.

    MPPT SCC Recommendations

    I purchased the same epever 30amp and so far I am pleased. I added the MT50 and I really like the monitoring it does! But, I’m only in testing phase of my portable system. So take my info with a little grain of salt.

    External charger question

    Thank you! This gives me viable options for my use. I see now that a multi stage charger is the direction I need to go so I get the initial 20-30amp charge then the top off charge all in one shot instead of getting next to nothing with the battery maintainer I was questioning in my pics...

    External charger question

    Well, that makes sense. I guess I’m more concerned with the top off charge. I may not be explaining this the way I think. If I use a 20amp charger it will definitely charge way better but my understanding at a certain point, let’s say 80% charged, will a 20amp charge top off hurt the battery...

    Thanks for the info! Being new, sometimes I over look the easiest of things.

    External charger question

    My testing capability will consist of turning my system on and checking the display on my epever MT50 monitor.

    External charger question

    Yes, those are the batteries hooked up in series of course. The charger is a car quest brand and if this is not the correct or sufficient wall charger for my batteries, which kind should I be looking for? Also, I cannot find the max volts that those batteries charge to in the paperwork that came...
