I did! It was weird... the original delivery date was a month out. The order actually arrived a few days before the original due date which, if I recall, was June 3rd. But even after delivery, the order said "processing." Strange. I think they just update their order status manually or...

Ah, gotcha. No, should not hit the programmed limits under normal circumstances.

I'm building a solar generator and I'm starting out with a 4S3P Headway system with the 15 AH cells giving me 45 AH total. Can the Overkill Solar BMS be programmed to disconnect the battery at lower max charge/discharge current? I may increase to larger batteries in the future, but I'd like to...

I placed an order with evcomponents back on May 8th- a dozen Headway 40152s cells, holders, etc. Three weeks later and the order still says "Processing." I did get a response to an email inquiring about the order about a week ago claiming that they had heavy rain in China and that the order...

I love my Overkill BMS - use it in my solar generator. However, I'm designing a system for a very specific task. It will be running some radio equipment in an isolated location during power outages. The maximum current draw will be 14 amps (typically more like 5 amps). It will be a 4S system...

I'm using the Overkill 120A 4S BMS. Works great... I just have a simple question on behavior though. I built a 4S3P battery using some Headway cells and this BMS and I was doing a capacity test. I ran the batteries down near their bottom limit. When the voltage of one cell went below the...

Hi all - Does anyone know if there is a torque specification for screw terminals on Headway 40152s cells? I seem to recall seeing it somewhere when I was building a battery pack about 6 months ago and now when I look through all my documentation, I can't seem to find it. I have one, possibly...

Hi folks, I'm a trustee for an amateur radio repeater system... basically two-way radio equipment that sits at a remote site. I'm researching replacing our old lead-acid batteries with LiFePo4, BMS, and charger. Is there a BMS that allows some sort of remote Internet access? Or at least has...

Yes, just being used for protection and cell balancing. Charging will be controlled by a Genasun MPPT charge controller. I'm not sure what you're asking... [Solar panels] > [Charge controller || Load] <> [BMS+Battery] is the use case. The job of the BMS is to disconnect the battery and...

So I bought the Overkill 4S 120A BMS with the wires pre-installed. Love it... works great! And I love this wire- so flexible and easy to work with. Which wire is it? Is this the welding wire or the automotive battery wire? I want to buy the right stuff for other parts of my project and...

Cool- will definitely look at this since we may be building other MQTT based control systems for the site.

A repeater is basically a transmitter, receiver, power supply, and Linux-based controller. We're having an issue where that controller gets buggy and needs to be rebooted- like once every 4 months or so. We've been working with the manufacturer to no avail. Problem is, if you remove AC power...
