  • Post in thread: What does a leaking Lifepo4 prismatic cell smell like?

    had a weird smell in my battery box, smelled like strong glue or something. Also, had a lot of a greasy like fluid in the case.
  • Post in thread: What does a leaking Lifepo4 prismatic cell smell like?

    Hi, thanks for the quick response! Sorry i don't have pictures, i was busy cleaning the box with gloves and a mask on, the fluid was everywhere. Also some lite rust on a couple of the terminal lugs. I'm pretty sure i found the cell with the issue, it was not hard like the other cells, it was...
  • Post in thread: Pack discharging

    Hi, I did the test and the battery only lost .43ah, was losing 3ah. So I guess it’s the BMS draining it, what could it be? Why would the bms be draining that much? Thanks
  • Post in thread: First 24v Build with BMS

    thats max draw which we never use. the motor draws about 2/3amps at trolling speed and 6/8amps at running speed(to and from fishing grounds). its a brushless motor

    gotcha thank you!
  • Post in thread: First 24v Build with BMS

    great thank you!
  • Post in thread: Help With Inverters

    I've never heard of this, can you explain how that works?
  • Post in thread: Help With Inverters

    thank you for the post i appreciate it! I'll omit the socket, get a bigger inverter, heavy wire and inline breaker.
  • Post in thread: Help With Inverters

    thank you, that cleared it up! was looking at a 500w inverter, so that would still require the same size wire and 50a fuse correct? is the math 500/12=42amp so i still get a 50 amp breaker?
  • Post in thread: Another Power Supply question & in/out question

    Hi, I did a search but not 100% sure I found what I need. Is there anything wrong with charging a 12v 4s or 24v 8s lifepo4 batteries with just a power supply like the one Will has in his top balancing youtube video? fyi this is not a solar panel set up, its just batteries used to power...
  • Post in thread: Help With Inverters

    Fyi the wires on the 50a BMS were getting very hot so upgraded to the 80a bms with 8awg wire and no more hot wires. thanks all!
  • Post in thread: Pack discharging

    wouldn't the bms show that its under load if something is draining the battery?
  • Post in thread: BMS vs. Balance Charger

    what is the correct wire config for 4 cells in series for balancing with a balance charger?? or do they need to be parallel? do i have to have all batteries hooked up together to balance them or can i balance each individually?
  • Post in thread: Another Power Supply question & in/out question

    gotcha makes sense to have a charger then, thank you! do you happen to know the answer to the second question? so if i have the 30v/10a power supply to the charger, should i be able to get up to 30v/10a into that battery? the charger: Input voltage 10-34V DC, Output voltage 1-34V, Charge...
  • Post in thread: Help With Inverters

    what about these fuses on the actual inverter, there is 2 40 amp fuses and this is a 500w inverter. Does that mean 80amps or they just redundant?

    thank you. Not using the heating port. I will do the test and report back
  • Post in thread: Daly BMS?

    Hi, I ordered a Daly BMS from AE and received what looks like a rebranded Daly named Electronic-Mall. I see tons of what look like Daly's around, are these all the same just rebranded? tia
  • Post in thread: Another Power Supply question & in/out question

    I only would require roughly 100watts going into the batteries, my 12v batteries are 55ah n 100ah, the 24v is 30ah.
  • Post in thread: Help With Inverters

    ok thanks. not worried about the wires, i'll make my own. Just making sure the inverter is up to the task. thank you!
  • Post in thread: What does a leaking Lifepo4 prismatic cell smell like?

    thank you. No not sure what caused it, the cell looked like it was in good shape.
  • Post in thread: Another Power Supply question & in/out question

    mainly for the batteries after they are built but also to balance them before adding a BMS
  • Post in thread: Another Power Supply question & in/out question

    i plan to use a Daly BMS after initial balance
  • Post in thread: Help With Inverters

    Hi, can you take a look at post #20 and see if you have a answer? tia!
  • Post in thread: Help With Inverters

    ok thank you
  • Post in thread: First 24v Build with BMS

    10awg
  • Post in thread: What does a leaking Lifepo4 prismatic cell smell like?

    anyway to test if its compromised? would leaving it up side down suffice as a test?
  • Post in thread: First 24v Build with BMS

    The power supply is only 10a so probably can’t get anymore than that. Def bulk charge first
