    LOL. Yet a number of us need to deal with another four letter word. Snow

    Something like this might be a consideration for the angle: https://www.amazon.com/HHIP-3402-0302-Slotted-Angle-Webbed/dp/B00N40VBGA/ref=sr_1_3
  • Post in thread: Dirty Electricity Reduction

    There are filters and dampening devices that can be plugged in. I did a deep dive into this and Emf a while back. From my findings some are uneffected, some attribute their health challenges to something else and some are helped by lifestyle changes.

  • Post in thread: GUIDE to properly Top-Balance and Charge a LFP Battery: Part 1

    We have a number of very talented and experienced members on this forum. @upnorthandpersonal has made some amazing contributions to this forum. He has an amazing understanding of the technology and his understanding of the electronics behind the Bms is second to none. I top balanced my first...
  • Post in thread: Help develop the perfect BMS, suggestions encouraged

    This is a model that has quite a few years of usage under its belt. I remember your discussions about the inner workings of it in an earlier thread. Would be also be intrigued at the chance to test run a model if the chance ever presented itself.
  • Post in thread: External Multiplus shut down

    If I look at the description properly, the middle position is off. The far left position is inverter on. The far right position is charger on. If that is correct, then wiring the first and middle spots would give me a simple on off for the inverter. Is this correct or am I missing something...
  • Post in thread: Who is still building DIY batteries

    I know 18650 is selling these as grade B if I am reading the web site correctly. Where else are others buying these?
  • Post in thread: JKBMS Inverter Edition Problems/Issues | No Support / Help to fix major issues. - DO NOT BUY ! Warning (as of Oct.12.2024)

    My Overkill experiences were a little more disappointing and one ultimately failed. Reason I went with JK technology which for me has worked much better. While the door was opened to suggest other technologies might I suggest another thread for this so this thread can stay on topic.
  • Post in thread: CATL 271Ah cell issues.

    Are these all coming in via UPS? Having said that internal packaging left a lot to be desired
  • Post in thread: Giandel vs Samlex?

    Good point. Considering I am running LED lighting could be a great thing to consider.
  • Post in thread: Who is still building DIY batteries

    Who could lift it?
  • Post in thread: Transfer switch questions, Reliance brand

    @timselectric I think you may have already answered this question for someone else. If I don't run the white neutral wire from the transfer box to the main I would be OK? Again, perhaps I misread this: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/wiring-question-pro-tran2-transfer-switch.96624/
  • Post in thread: Scuffed insulation, any concerns?

    Found this interesting: National Electrical Code or NEC limits the total number of bends in one continuous run to 360 degrees or four 90 degree bends. It specifically states, “There shall not be more than the equivalent of four quarter bends (360 degrees total) between pull points, for example...

    Looking at no voltage release options
  • Post in thread: Overkill video

    I know a ton has been written about this. I send to learn by seeing. A while back Will did a video on an Overkill 8s wiring. Instead of the block build (12 plus 12=24), this video had everything in a line. It was so clear and easy to understand. I have been unable to locate this. Any...
  • Post in thread: Cell voltage fluctuation

    I have the Multiplus 24v previous generation. Likely won’t work but perhaps drop charging voltage by 50 percent just to see?
  • Post in thread: Portable Victron Power Station operational

    I know there are torque screwdrivers. I strongly considered purchasing one. On the other hand a friend of mine who is a mechanic has a high end professional digital torque wrench that he lets me borrow. I found these and currently plan on using to torque the screws in per EVE documentation...
  • Post in thread: Purchasing batteries

    I am in the planning process and will be purchasing batteries. There is a great deal of conversation on this topic. In readings, two suppliers have risen to the surface as being two excellent sources of obtaining lithium technology batteries. The first is Amy Wan of Luyuan. Feedback on this...
  • Post in thread: Scuffed insulation, any concerns?

    Very true. Went with Plan B. Applied layered shrink wrap in the pinch sites. Protects the wire nicely.
  • Post in thread: Backup lighting project for basement operational

    I actually have done this for another room and it works well. The reason I am moving this direction is that I already have installed the led lights and they provide more light than my 12v version. Thank you for the idea. However I am still in the planning stages for a number of items so if a...
  • Post in thread: Quick question about Victron blue ip22 mains charger

    I used 6 awg as well. Stationary all is well. When I shifted the cord the proximity of the bare terminals caused a short between positive and negative. I have tried to be careful to keep insulated and separate from each other.
