  • Post in thread: SLA scam: small SLA hidden in large case (fake haha)

    These were from aliexpress, 50ah samsung Li-ion battery packs with 6 18650 batteries inside. Ali kept denying my claim until I said the technology does not exist to put 50ah in a pack that size

    I dumped all the 12 volt lighting at my cabin years ago. I now use a separate small inverter switched at the door. 120 volt led are so much handier
  • Post in thread: Renogy 50a dc dc mppt charging profile w/engine on

    I'm not a big fan of renogy, but I have to say that my dc 50 has worked perfectly for 2 1/2 years.. It outputs 50amps MAX, solar OR alternator. Or Up TO 25 amps each from both at once If solar is producing any power at all, The alternator is limited to 25 amps.

  • Post in thread: Fortress Envy 12kW inverter

    200 amp pass thru looks promising, no price on it tho??
  • Post in thread: Renogy 50a dc dc mppt charging profile w/engine on

    That max solar juice is just hypothetical. If it's not being used (and it's not) It's not being generated. I've got my dc50 hidden behind a wall where it doesn't get any ventilation, and it hasn't failed

  • Post in thread: Dead lithium battery

    It looks like your bms has shut it down. when this happens to mine, I jump 12 volts to it and it comes right back on.
  • Post in thread: Correct voltage charge for Lithium

    Not yet mentioned, is 3,33 volts per cell 13 volts for the pack, is right at the charging knee. it could be as little as about 25% charged, or it could be 75% charged. I've seen people think their system wasn't working correctly. It takes a while to get past that 3.3

  • Post in thread: Asia (no neutral) 220 volt system 48 volt battery - grid tied with 2 hots and a ground but no neutral
