Thanks for the reply! I’ve done a visual inspection without turning the bms off but nothing seems loose so that’s strange but I’ll turn it off tomorrow and will try and see if I find any issues. How would you recommend turning it off? As it doesn’t have a switch…just disconnect it from the...

Hii everyone, So 2 weeks ago I installed my LFP batteries with a JK BMS. Everything was running great until yesterday suddenly the inverter shut off and the BMS did a few short “beeps” I restarted the inverter and checked the BMS through the App and cell 1 & 2 have “abnormal resistance of...

Didn’t know about that brand, will look into it! Most marine systems that don’t have budget issues will actually go with Victron, at least in Europe but I believe all around. As for the inverter, I couldn’t find that thread but other older threads talk about very low idle consumption by...

Ok Ok, sounds like a point. Do you know what the standby draw is of the Renogy vs Victron ? Also, speaking of standby power consumption, would you go with the giandel 3000w inverter or another budget one?(haven’t found any standby power consumption tests on the giandel)

Yep, was thinking of changing the winch motor to a 24v but that would cost more than 4 charge controllers combined hahaha I mean, 50amps in a Victron or other solar charge controller isn’t really that big of a problem I would say… 100amps is obviously more of an issue as the cable run is fairly...

I mean, the thing is that the induction cooktop is rated at 2kw Max so that’s let’s say 170Ah @ 12v. It’s not scary 250-300Ah running through the cable although obviously if the cooktop is at max and a few other things run, it could have momentaneous peaks of 3kw or during a few minutes but...

So you believe it’s then best to go for plan C and have the system in 24v but the winch hooked up to the engine battery with a DC-DC charger from the LFP bank to the lead acid?

Yep, totally agree & that’s why although the simply and easy way to go would be 12v, I’m more inclined to go 24v. But, if I go to 24v I need to convert up to 90Ah into 12v for the winch. (The winch will typically draw 30-60Ah actually. It’s only 90Ah if under very large load) Now, I have one...

Hi everyone, I have a few doubts about a solar powered system I’m going to be installing on a sailboat. Figured out: 1) 400-600Amph battery Lifepo4 2) 3000w inverter 3) 1000w solar panels 4) Renogy solar charge controller Not clear yet is if I should go with a 24 or 12vdc system. On the...

Hii everyone, I've researched a little bit just wanted to double check at what voltage it's OK to store BYD lifepo4 batteries from the large used lot selling through battery hookup. I just received my batteries and they measure 23.6 & 23.9, this shouldn't be an issue if I've understood right...

I just came up with one curiosity question. Would it be possible to attach let's say 1 300w 48v panel +1 or 2 100w flexible panels to the same controller or would there be a conflict due to different imput Voltages?

Thank you very much for that quick reply! Hope you all have a great day ?

Hii Everyone, I'm going to be setting up a 5P4S 60ah(cell) lifepo4 bank for a total of 360ah/12v. This will be charged by solar (mainly). An ac charger will be added in the future. I'm looking at installing 3x327w mono panels & am looking for a budget but efficient mppt that can cope with...
