  • Post in thread: Adding DIY battery to Bluetti AC300

    Hey guys I have been looking into adding an additional pack to a Bluetti but they make it hard and seem to want you to buy theirs for some reason haha. I don't own it but my grandfather in California bought one for all the brown out and grid outages they've have in recent years. I live across...

    Bump on up.
  • Post in thread: APC SYMMETRA PX 40KW UPS UNIT 208Y Upstate NYS

    Full disclosure I don't have pictures yet but will be getting them. There's a lot of other things around it in my garage haha. I picked this up a few years ago when I first decided I wanted to get into solar and was thinking off grid and three phase for a mill or lathe down the road. I have a...
  • Post in thread: WTS Winston Thundersky 160Ah LiFeYPo4 cells CA or WTB two cells

    Price drop to $80. Trying to recoup most of his investment to get some other cells since tracking down replacements means importing at least ten from China at $300+ each plus shipping.

    Pictures from back when I got it so some proof of life haha
  • Post in thread: WTS Winston Thundersky 160Ah LiFeYPo4 cells CA or WTB two cells

    PRICE DROP TO $80 EACH PRICE DROP TO $80 EACH PRICE DROP TO $80 EACH TLDR: My gramps got screwed so I'm trying to sell the cells for him at what he paid for them for $90 each near San Luis Obispo, California. No shipping due to his health. (Might be able to ship soon when my brother visits)...
  • Post in thread: Exceeding 145 Voc

    I have been acquiring pieces for my solar array as I come across deals. I have the panels, the batteries and as of last weekend the unistrut to start on my array. I have two sets of panels rated at 37.2 and 36.8 Voc and 8.85 and 8.54 A Isc respectively and am trying to purchase an MPPT charge...
  • Post in thread: Best bang for your buck dc to dc 12v to 48v charger

    Depending on the converter it may not have lithium charge settings (CC/CV). The MPT-7210A is a decent cheapy from China from what I read. I think it's limited to 600w output but should be around $50. Does a wide range of voltages but I'm not sure if it goes down to 12V. It's green and made by...
  • Post in thread: Exceeding 145 Voc

    I have lucked into a few deals here and there with search monitors so I'm sitting on about 24 kW of solar panels, about 100 kWh of 48V LiFePo4 batteries I got from a solar installer at a huge loss when state laws changed and came across an Outback Radian GS4048A for a heck of a price on eBay and...
  • Post in thread: Exceeding 145 Voc

    I'm also trying to do a ground mount array that's about 120' from the main load center in my house. I'm probably going to wind up putting the batteries into a trailer outside the house for insurance purposes. I'd like to just the solar panels to make the roof of a barn of sorts for outdoor...
  • Post in thread: Sun Grid Tie Inverter with Limiter GTIL2 1000W for sale

    I purchased this over the summer to play around with some flexible panels I got a deal on. I used it for all of about a month then took it in for winter. This helped me to get my feet wet but I'm going to go bigger in the spring and sell this off. Asking $300 plus shipping which this should...
  • Post in thread: Exceeding 145 Voc

    Damn that's a good deal on that Outback inverter right there. Added it to my watch list but it's outside my budget right now even though it would be perfect over anything else inverter wise. I had to go and check my notes on the two panel types. I have some LG and some AVIM brand LG 255W...
  • Post in thread: Adding DIY battery to Bluetti AC300

    Sorry just turned notifications back on after having them off when it was requested before. I see there has been some progress on the front though. Are you able to ohm out the plug and see which pins corresponds to the positive and negative side of the battery? I'm guessing this plug only uses...
  • Post in thread: WTS Winston Thundersky 160Ah LiFeYPo4 cells CA or WTB two cells

    I guess the chipped cell was sent back during the RMA process so there are only the 14 good cells and the low voltage one. My brother is visiting him soon so shipping might be an option at buyer's expense.
  • Post in thread: WTS Winston Thundersky 160Ah LiFeYPo4 cells CA or WTB two cells

    Thank you and yeah unless you can find more or these and wanted to add them to it. I just added want to buy two to the title if anyone has any extras that they might be willing to part with, just had that thought as an option today.
  • Post in thread: WTS Winston Thundersky 160Ah LiFeYPo4 cells CA or WTB two cells

    They didn't come with any, the seller had them for sale but they were aluminum and crudely made so I had planned on fabbing something out of copper wire he has. I had planned on getting stainless studs and nuts from AliExpress but haven't found out the details on the thread pitch other than M8...
