Yeah man, that is a cool box. This may work for me. I am currently making my own. The only missing piece is the box at this point. I was going to go with 280AH but my shipping got jacked up so I am just going to use two Zooms. Quick and easy but the goal is to be able to remove one battery if...

I know more people on here have fantastic experience but if you have 16 cells using 3.6v you should get 57.6v. If everything using to measure your voltage agrees, I am going to say some setting somewhere is holding you out. For me it was the charge overcurrent protect was set at 0 by default...

Awesome feedback. Thanks all. I was wondering if anyone had taken a chance and what the results were. The other very curious thing is the 100AH are deliverable in Sept. All the other batteries on all the other sites are saying Nov. 27. I think I will definately avoid these.

My friend bought a house with solar installed and the solar monitoring system is Enphase. He has been told to pay $200 to get access to the controller. Is there a better controller as this one seems limited in my limited experience? He wants to stay below $200 and see what he is making vs. what...

Sorry HRTKD. I am next to the ports and see thousands of containers. Not sure which is yours. If you got a new toyota coming off a ship I actually watch the long shoreman drive those off the ship. I can tell you which color and types have arrived. lol

Hey all, I just sold my RV and gave my LifePo4 system with it. I am looking at making a solar generator and am seeing unbelievable prices on Aliexpress. $117 for 100AH shipped and due September 30th! I've also seen 280AH batteries around $300 shipped but due November 27th. My questions are...

Are you referring to charge overcurrent? I think mine defaulted at 125a. I left it there.

I use 14.4V for mine. 3.6v * 4 cells. I also have 8 total cells but I like the 8 cell battery vs the two 4 cell batteries in parallel. I just personally have an easier time with setup. Some information I found on another thread. Hope this helps

Ok I understand now. My Daly came with the already. If you don’t have them you can get them at Amazon or an auto parts store and crimp them on. When I crimp I use a vice and solder. In a pinch I have used pliers and a hammer for a temporary fix. This is not a real good method though. Hope this helps

If you are upsizing your wires or one came disconnected this is a great video or I am not understanding what you are trying to do.

Yes. My overcurrent was set to zero causing it to fault immediately while charging. Then I charged my batteries with solar for a few hours. I am not sure if it needed time to calibrate or if it is more accurate than the other bms I was using but its all good now. Thanks.

I live in sunny Southern California. I have had enough midwestern winters for a lifetime lol. My solar panels have the problem of all my neighbors having their lawns mowed on different days so cleaning the dirt is a near impossible chore. My only obstacle with this is running the line cleanly...

I am not 100% sure what this is? I think its a dc to dc charge controller. My main problem with these systems is they charge the LifePo4 to 100% then move on to the battery. It can be several months between trips I take and my understanding is that LifePo4 does not like to store at 100% which is...
