  • Post in thread: 32V rated fuse in 24V system?

    Thanks guys, I really appreciate your advice! I think I’ll try to get my hands on a higher rated fuse but if I need one in a pinch I’ll feel ok with 32V. I have another question too if y’all don’t mind me picking your brains. I came across these two fuse holder/busbar combos and think I’d like...
  • Post in thread: BYD 24V LiFePo4 Battery Modules

    While gently hammering on some lugs today I realized one of my negative terminals has this exact issue! How did you end up fixing yours and how did it work?
  • Post in thread: Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM - connecting to AC

    How did you get it to work?! I had my Growatt running fine at various periods over the last several months. My wife plugged into a house outlet today and was using the Growatt to charge the batteries and also had some appliances plugged into its AC out. She didn't realize she had accidentally...
  • Post in thread: Orion Smart non isolated 12/24-10a availability?

    Hey guys! Not sure if this is the right forum for this one but I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get an Orion smart 12/24-10a charger. New or used would work! I can only seem to find the 15a versions and the isolated 10a version but no non isolated 10as in sight. I went ahead and...
  • Post in thread: Review/Rate my Solar Generator Plan?

    This looks like a great design that I may totally copy! Any changes you made since you set it up? Also, are you able to do remote controlling with the electrodacus and the Growatt?
  • Post in thread: BYD 24V LiFePo4 Battery Modules

    I did! Well I had a neighbor fix them for me. He ended up following the advice of this nice guy on Facebook and they have worked well for the last 6 months for me!
  • Post in thread: 32V rated fuse in 24V system?

    Hello all, I’ve been told I should look for a fuse rated higher than the typical 32V for my 24V system. Is this true? If so, what is the minimum voltage rating I should use?
  • Post in thread: External fan to dissipate heat with Growatt all-in-one?

    Hello all, I have a Growatt all in one system for my camper van that I plan to mount inside a cabinet next to my batteries. The suggested clearance is 7” on the sides and 20” on the top and bottom for heat dissipation. However it looks like I may only be able to manage 4” and 10” clearance...
  • Post in thread: BYD BMS

    So now that the ANTs are a no go, what BMS will you be replacing them with? I have two of the 24v BYDs that I will be using in parallel with the GroWatt all-in-one containing a 3000w 24v inverter. I was originally going to go with a 100a 8s BMS from Overkill Solar and was going to use one for...
  • Post in thread: Review/Rate my Solar Generator Plan?

    I emailed with Dacian at electrodacus and this was his reply: “The Growatt can be used as inverter only as that has remote ON/OFF but there is no separate remote for the charger part so if you want to use the grid charger occasionally you can add a Solid State relay on the AC input side that...
  • Post in thread: External fan to dissipate heat with Growatt all-in-one?

    Thanks @george65 ! This is the exact info I was hoping to get. By “climate controlled” I just mean I will nearly always have ambient temp below 77F when my setup is operating. The noise of a fan doesn’t bother me too much either since the Growatt is already known to be a tad noisy itself... plus...
  • Post in thread: BYD BMS

    Sorry, I was under the impression that the link he posted was just an active balancer and not a BMS.
  • Post in thread: BYD 24V LiFePo4 Battery be feasible for RV power

    Did you ever end up trying this out? I’m thinking about picking one up and doing the same thing but really don’t know what I’m doing ? the 100ah new lithiums are just so expensive!
