Hi, I've bumped into XY6020L and XY6015L adjustable power supplies on the ali and was intending to order a few of them to aid me with top balancing the LiFePo4 cells. I really like that you can have a display with them, set constant current, voltage and power them from old ATX supplies. Or at...

The older versions aren't really an option for me. I want to have some headroom above the nominal current. If you take into account the classical Chinese current ratings, the 200A version BMS seems like a good choice for loads around 100A. If I'm correct they have only one older 200A 16s BMS and...

Any specific issues to be aware of? The issue with settings resetting seems to be solved (the implemented solution isn't the cleanest one but it seems to work), bricked units should still be salvageable as was shown in one of Andy's videos. Communication and paralleling problems seemed at least...

Do you mean that in the way that you are still giving it time to mature more and get more feedback from the community or are those personal reservations about the newer model?

I've looked briefly into Batrium. From what I remember the solution was weird to me. It looked like a DIY thing, in the sense that the DIY BMS is. But it was regularly sold. Maybe it is just my problem but it doesn't seem as clean of a solution as the industrial / rack format BMS types from JK...

Thank you for your reply. Are you planning on using the newer versions of JK? I'm thinking about JK-PB2A16S20P.

Hi, before someone suggests doing more research and reading the forum more I would like to say that after dozens of hours spent doing exactly that I'm writing this. I've also watched some videos from Andy's off-grid garage but his style of videos really isn't my cup of tea and quickly it...

I know that the chances aren't really big but on the other hand, the fridges run quite frequently at the same time and now in the summer also more often. So given enough time the situation could happen. Also if they trip the inverter it will most likely end up in a loop → inverter trips...

Hi, I’m currently working on sizing my PV system. I have some information about my system (daily consumption, peak consumption on all three phases combined - I’m looking into one phase system for now). But the main problem is the combined inrush current of appliances. I was expecting this so I...
