Bottom line based on 9 years off grid living or was that ten.....lost track....whatever you think you need power wise....double it, unless you want a giant money pit adopt an attitude that Electricity is not your friend, look for any and all ways around it, don't be afraid to experiment and...

10 per day single family cabin when I charge the Leaf 4 a day when I don't.

Same email, used to speak with Jesse now silence, I too talked with them last week and now this, had to move battery outside, starting smelling really bad.

These guys seem to have a very good grasp of Prismatics, scroll down to Mechanical Installations, they say "Installing them flat on their side is out of the question in all cases". http://nordkyndesign.com/assembling-a-lithium-iron-phosphate-marine-house-bank/

Take a peek over at the Small Cabin Forum / Off Grid, lotsa good info for you there too.

Worth a look, being Hyundai it should be high quality and I know they don't do re branded stuff! Thanks for the tip! As usual, looks like a Non US product, pricey but I bet it is very high quality, living in the US is like being in the stone age!

From what I read it will be integrated into their Powerwall package, don't think it will be available separate.

Got same runaround from SOK finally mid December Amazon de listed SOK batteries due to lack of delivery complaints, fortunately Amazon holds buyers money in escrow till product is delivered so refund is not an issue, spent a bit more and got Battleborns, no ecuses or runaround and warranty work...

Had an Ohmmu in my Leaf that crapped out after 3 days of below freezing weather, tried to talk with their support which was email only back and forth for over a week, either the guy was dyslexic or really stupid, he insisted Lifep04 batteries didn't have a BMS...from there it went down hill even...

Have been looking at increasing battery capacity and hoping I might be able to get a Chins or the like to run with my Battleborn, unfortunately if you wire them together (series or parallel) BB said first problem would be a BMS mismatch and second you would void your warranty. I want 300 ah...

I used Water Miser caps, greatly reduces any outside venting and stops battery pissing, or you can use a vent tube with a low speed usb powered fan to pull the air outside.

5.5 hours is what it did, so my math was right....thanks for verifying!

Been trying to get a response from BB support a week now, you used to calling and talk to a support person right away but now it's " leave a number or email us and we'll try to get back to you" am waiting for RGA for defective battery... phone, email, message. . .nothing. Due to their silence I...

chrisski, My bad, to late to edit but you are correct.

Have new BB 100 Ahr battery, started at solid 14.4 volts now running off of battery for past 3 hours pulling a total of 60 watts 0.90 amps or 20 watts per hour at 0.30 amps per hour at 117 volts and battery is already down to by 30% to 13.2 volts, at this rate it won't make it through the...

Chriski, Regarding your stream / water supply, is it drinkable? If in doubt be sure to filter it for Ecoli and Colliform ( I user a Sawyer filter) and never store drinking water in a galvanized or steel container, use plastic, rain water is great for cleaning things and if you are so enclined...

Thank's for the link, some very interesting stuff, can nerve get enough of it!

You must have been listening into my conversation with BB this morning, I requested a refund because the battery they insisted would out perform my two 7 year old 235 Ah 6 volt floodeds ( on life support) .... the BB clearly lacks capacity, as I told them it's like going to a gunfight with a...

That is what my understanding is, your table verified it, where did you get the chart...seems my controller is working within perameters then.

mine rests at 13.6...am using same chart. Yep, since the compact fridge has been the root of so many problems I got a 12 volt fridge freezer and will see how that goes, due Sunday, fingers crossed, the inverter works good with everything else, just that @#$>/ fridge!

Went with Alpicool 21 quart 12 / 24 volt....might be late getting here got nearly 2 feet of snow overnight still coming down, now we go plan B, load cooler put in the snow. My issue with the compact fridge is initial start where it spikes 750 watts, ( even bought a soft starter no effect and...

My new Battleborn 12 volt 100 Amp battery keeps kicking my power inverters Over Voltage shutoff safety refusing to let them function with battery at full charge and as low as 30% charge, two inverters over voltage protection both show 15 volts but the one that worked showed over voltage...

Well, the Battleborn battery was down to 13.2 this morning, put 6 amp charger on it (nothing but charge connected to battery) battery is only pulling 1.5 amps but has been on all day and battery is only at 13.4 12 hours later....did this when I first got it, charged from 13.3 to 14.4 took 3...

First thing was with multi meter, then charger and even solar charge controller all gave same reading with nothing connected to the battery.

Makes you wish BB had OTA updates, save a lot of shipping.

I recently checked my 10 year old 100 watters with new and found the same thing....I guess Older is better!

Having same issue with my 12 volt inverters, what I found is 2 of 3 inverters had 15 volt overload protection default while number 3 has 15.5 volt....it works the others don't yet all my voltage reading on my single 100 amp BB show 14.4 volts yet it's still kicking a 15 volt switch, Battleborns...

12 by 24, will that have a loft or just vaulted ceiling....best is a drop ceiling with attic access. Water pump, do you have a stream near by or a well? Ceiling fan, that's easy, crack a window to improve circulation. Look at everything and ask yourself, is this essential or are their other...

Using the Bluesmart IP65 (not Victron) and also the Foxsur, Lifepo4 chargers, both refuse over 1.5 amps, getting the feeling the BMS has issues.

Being that my 110 volt refrigerator is now history these issues are also, I fully anticipate the 12 volt fridge / freezer will eliminate all past and present issues when it arrives any day now.
