    SOK Batteries do not read right on ABC-BMS app

    I just received two SOK 100 ah. batteries and installed the ABC-BMS app on my Android. Both batts are just sitting on my bench, not connected to anything. I can see battery 1 on the app with 100% SOC. Battery 2 shows but with zero SOC. Both show a voltage of around 13.5 volts, in the app and on...

    Inverter question - and my system plan

    Some pompous jerks here. I was just asking for the kind of help that I would readily offer to others in my field of knowledge. (I have multiple degrees in areas aside from these). Not sure why you guys respond this way, but, cool, I’ll go elsewhere.

    200 ah Lithium battery help for running inverter - Renogy 200 or SOK 206?

    Thanks for the recommendation. I'm not looking for the cheapest, I just want to make sure I get it right the first time around. I will look at GoPower. I have also been looking at Renogy's 2000 watt and the Giandel 2200. What I am unsure of with any of them is surge, or start up capacity - I...

    200 ah Lithium battery help for running inverter - Renogy 200 or SOK 206?

    Thank you. So helpful. To answer your question - Whether I have it thought out WELL may be a matter of opinion :) but....I have just one 100 watt solar panel. Am considering adding 100 or 200 watt at some point. I am planning to install the combined MPPT/DC-DC charger that Renogy makes, 30...

    200 ah Lithium battery help for running inverter - Renogy 200 or SOK 206?

    Thanks to those of you that have been helpful on this. I have decided to go with two 100 ah SOKs based on your comments and to avoid any question of continuous output. Now I need to pick a 2000 watt inverter, and I am getting conflicting info on whether a 2000 watt inverter, with these two...

    Inverter question - and my system plan

    I don't know that I can/want to run 24 volts in what is currently set up as a 12 volt camper? John, yes, I understand the very basics of volts (power, force), amps (amount of power) and watts (load) and that amps x volts = watts. But thats about it. Feel free to inform me, if you wish...

    Inverter question - and my system plan

    Yes, you did and I appreciate it. But I am not as knowledgeable as you are, so I don't understand your math and explanation. Maybe you can dumb it down for me?

    Inverter question - and my system plan

    OK, you guys are a bit over my head, so bear with me. I am not looking for an inverter/charger, just inverter. This is in a 2022 Lance 825 truck camper which has an on board charger so I didn't think I needed an inverter/charger. No teenagers :) and I really don't need to run much of anything...

    Inverter question - and my system plan

    I am considering buying a 2000 watt inverter. Looking at Renogy, but I don't find that Will has reviewed this one - Hoping for feedback on my plan, which is to install 2, 100 ah SOK batteries in my truck camper with the Renogy combined DC-DC/MPPT charger - and this inverter. My max inverter...

    200 ah Lithium battery help for running inverter - Renogy 200 or SOK 206?

    OK, thanks. I am working on measurements. Would you say that, IF I can get 2 100 ah in the space, that would be better than a single Renogy 200 ah?

    200 ah Lithium battery help for running inverter - Renogy 200 or SOK 206?

    Rudy - I DID mean to type 2000, not 200Watt! And thanks for your reply. So you are confirming that the SOK will NOT power the 2000 w inverter, as I was told? If so, I'm really glad I asked. Bluedog225: Thanks for the welcome. I don't know that I really need 100 amps all at once - thats what...

    200 ah Lithium battery help for running inverter - Renogy 200 or SOK 206?

    I‘m upgrading my Lance 825 truck camper with lithium, additional solar and an inverter. For batteries, I am looking at Renogy’s 200 ah and SOKs 206, but I may not have space for the Renogy. I am adding a 200watt inverter - considering Renogy I am talking with a guy that seems quite...
