    Max series fuse rating on panels??

    What does this rating mean? I found some cheap used panels 230w 37.8v nominal voltage and 7.8amp, but the max fuse rating is 15. Does that mean I can only put 2 of these in series? I need minimum of 3 to hit my charger minimum voltage, 4 would be better.

    Also throw the leads away and make some with heavier wire and ring terminals to put on the screw portion not the plug in ones. My voltages changed dramatically after I did. Oops you already did that, getting ahead of my reading

    I have a different branded name of that same power supply and I'll tell you mine runs 1 watt higher then I set it to. Take the charger off for a while and check the voltage with a good multi meter. To make sure it's acurate

    2 280ah cells overcharging

    I had them clamped really tight in my boxes help in with wedges pounded in. I noticed it swelled some but I didn't realize how much untill I tried to pull the wedges out to disassemble the pack. Just an oversight on my part. But like I said I was checking them. The voltage on that cell stays in...

    2 280ah cells overcharging

    All my cells read exactly the same when I started charging them gazoo. I watched them diligently thru the whole process and they were all fine right up untill the end it took almost no time at all for that one to jump up that high. The other one that wasn't as high shows no problems maybe that...

    I've watched several videos on youtube now testing these cells that come in over 280. I can't load test kine as one cell is bad so I can't get them charged fully it keeps kicking me out when all the other cells are at 3.35. and I don't trust it's capacity either. But they're sending me a new...

    2 280ah cells overcharging

    It's official that cell is bad. It's the one that registered so high the first time I charged them and now I just recharged the pack. I can't get it fully charged. Once they get about 3.35 then that one swollen cell just jumps up to 3.7 and kicks out the bms. Then it drops back down. Try it...

    2 280ah cells overcharging

    I hit the bottom of my invertor setting about 4:30am. That's 14 hours. 8hours of the ac in constant and another 6hr of the ac and a space heater on high. (I wanted to know how long it would run just my ac but my bedroom was too cold to sleep?,) I had a few cells stay higher then the majority...
