Hi guys, may I jump in with a question? I have a BMV-700 and would like to make sure I have it set correctly. The part I'm concerned about is the Low SOC relay setting. The manual says it is used to calculate remaining time. If I disable this relay function using Connect App, will the...

Very impressive... Makes me want to stick my head in the ground. I started out to just to calculate DC Amps required to provide a certain amount of inverter AC Amps. Then I started adding things. Didn't end up as detailed as you posted. Thanks for responding...

I created (in my opinion) a nifty excel spreadsheet to calculate DC current required for an inverter to provide a required AC current. I am not an excel guru. I probably made some mistakes. I would like to hear some opinions, corrections, etc. Be kind. I protected the cells containing...

You are right. I don't really need to monitor the pre-charge. It was just a hobbyist idea I got carried away with. I will probably only install the switch, resistor, and a 1A inline fuse. I was wondering if I wired it correctly.

My brain is getting foggy as time goes on. I need help with a pre-charge circuit. The part I need help with is connecting a combo V & I meter in the circuit. I would like to monitor the voltage & current during pre-charge. I'm having trouble wiring the combo meter into the pre-charge...

Sorry Folks, the batteries have been sold. Thanks...

Update on Battery Warranty... Warranty is for original owner only... Sorry...

I have two Battle Born Batteries that I would like to sell. I bought them from Battle Born in Dec 2019 during a Cyber Monday Sale. They called them B-Stock batteries. The B is for Blemish not B-Grade (I asked). I can't find any significant blemishes. They carry the Battle Born10 year...

I'm in the planning phase of building a 38120 Battery. I've made a drawing of my busbars (Plates) and what I think is the correct connection. Could I get a second opinion? I'm going for a12v 96Ah Battery using 38120HP cells. I will be drawing 10-30 Amps continuous.

Would you be willing to share what your total cost was for the batteries (taxes, shipping, etc)?

I purchased two of these batteries on ebay. I'm connecting them in parallel for greater capacity. My question: Do I have to connect the BMS cables for them to charge correctly? The manual for these batteries show an example for a series connection but nothing on parallel. Any info would be...

No problem adding a fuse close to the battery. The shunt is the one that came with the Victron BMV-700, so I used it. Thanks for your reply

I'm new to this site, so be kind until I learn the ropes... I have lived in SW Florida for 20 years and have been through a few hurricanes, Irma being the latest. I have a whole house 20k generator. Propane delivery is limited after a hurricane. So, I put together a small solar generator to...
