I had the opportunity to return the Renogy DCC50S and I bought the victron mppt 100/50 for SCC and the Orion TR 12/12 | 18a for the alternator charge. This noon I will dismantle the Renogy and start checking for the wires and set the values shown in this message. I will update the thread with...

I've no idea, but will stay here to know, bc i'm planning 3 units and the heating function is needed.

Saw the video yesterday! Amazing, thanks for sharing!

Thanks @HRTKD and @Sgt Raven ;)

You should! You're going to have more attention on Github also! Nice job!

Looks like the PACE with 1-2A balancer. But at this point, could be good to! The only thing I'm missing on the PACE, is the active balance !

Will do. Will check it tomorrow morning and post here the results as you asked! At the moment the solar isn't connected (is going to a fuse before getting in the SCC), if I need to connect it, will change the setup to GEL, but then it has a float voltage, and as far that I know the lifepo4...

Will remain here. Double the 280ah price seems fair from my end, bc has 12000 cycles instead of 6000, so the price for W of the lifespan of the cells will be cheaper! Will see

Here I am with the updates! The SCC (victron 100/50 is super easy to configure) and the Orion TR to, set the absorption to 14v for all the appliances (SCC, Orion and Inverter) and all the cells are at the same voltage, also cleaned the connections and everything seems right. Will try a capacity...

Hi folks! I'm waiting for the BMS delivery and just figured out one thing... I have two batteries wired in parallel 12v (4s) + 12v (4s), because I need 12v and a high amp (200A), so I got 2 120A 12v BMS, both with Bluetooth With the App, do you think I will be able to change between both...

This is amazing, I'm on the design phase of my system for off grid (already did it for the van) and this is going to rock. If you need some betatesters, count with me. Currently, 2 packs of diy batteries with JBD bms + victron shunt, scc and inverter/charger with a pi2 (os venus). In the future...

I'm in the same position as you. I have 8 280ah cells (2s2p, 12v, 560ah) and the same BMS. Will wait here to other responses.

Nice to know! Thanks for the answer! Thanks for the answer, will post when I got it.

You should try to make this comment to Andy from Offgrid garage, is the only way the people of JK take care of user reports!

I haven't found it, it's really new! If you get one, please tag me!

Hi everyone, I have been here for a year, I was able to successfully install 2 280ah12v diy batteries with each BMS, 500w of solar, victron SCC, victron inverter and an Orion-TR to my sprinter van, and it is working absolutely well. I hope I can document all very well here, so somebody could...

Hi everyone, Maybe I made a mistake, thinking that I was ready for a diy lifepo4 bank, I saw all the videos of @Will Prowse and also read his book, I had also the help of @FilterGuy (that I really appreciate) but something is making me crazy, and I wasn't able to find any related post with, and...

Thanks for the answer! So I have to install this switch from the main positive (starter) to the main positive (leisure), I had preferred to install a switch on the ignition wire (little on/off switch) instead of a big isolator. Thanks Reed!

With 600W of solar on the sprinter roof, for the 90% of the days I'm fine (more energy than I need) I only want to charge from the alternator if I really need it (like a lot of days of clouds...), I believe that in this situation the alternator is going to be better, and the lifepo4 batteries a...

I have the 4 panels in parallel (because the solar charge controller, DDC50S must stick under 25v). Yeah, I know, lots of A in small V, but I have to. The idea of wiring 2P and 2P and then join it in parallel are because I don't want to get up of the limit of the mc4 max amps (30a). And I...

I can't appreciate how glad I am to receive all this help for you guys/girls! I will try to understand and answer every of you ;) I could be, but when I detected that I have two running cells (one of each pack, and I'm not sure bc i'm not close to the RV right now, but I think the running ones...

I bought a couple of 120A JBD-BMS with uart port and the bluetooth module. (from Aliexpress, bc I'm in Europe) I don't like how to see the data through the APP (change between the bms...) so I'm planning to use an arduino board and connect it to a raspberry pi server (also it has my victron...

Thanks for the point, this forum is absolutely amazing, lots of knowledge and pretty good community answering and sharing info! I'm planing to use 8-6AWG wires (uv protected, rated for 65A and 87A), from the xt90 will be less than 3 meters, I will take a look on these wire loss calculators!

Do you have the link of these usb-serial? Thanks!

I love it, any chances to get more images from different angles? Cheers!

Will remain here, interested to saw the answers! ;)

Hi, I have a Sprinter 2016 with smart alternator (E33 Battery management on VIM datacard). I know I have to install it with the ignition wire to a positive (only on when the engine is running), my question is: 1. If I put a switch inline the smart alternator wire to the DCC50S, in theory I will...
