Hello All,
I am finally putting together my batteries for my full time RV set-up.
I am setting this up as an 8S2P system with a total of 16 280AH Eve Cells
Using two Overkill BMS's
I've charged my first set of eight cells in series with one of the BMS's to 280Ah and the total charge resting is...
Hello everyone,
First time posting, first time RVer, first time solar, so be gentle.
So we live in Arizona (great sun), but we will be traveling a lot, mainly CO, WY, MT, MN, CA, and everything in between.
I have a 44' Toy Hauler Fifth Wheel pulled behind an F350 dually.
We have three A/C...
Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to figure out how to wire an 80A 12VDC solenoid for a Lippert RV leveling system. I'm switching to 24V and have the step down converter for everything else. However, that is only a 40A converter and I don't see how it can run an 80A with 2 Gauge wire. The fuse says 80A...
Hey everyone,
I have two BMS from Overkill and I’m not a huge fan. They’re always changing their values on me and such. Last time I was on shore power and had a fully charged system, I reset my Victron Shunt. I’m doing great with my consumption and maintaining a full charge every day, weather...
System
- 24v 560Ah total
- MPP Lv2424
- 1620W of panels
Hello everyone,
I just plugged into shore at 50A and my Overkill BMS is showing that the batteries aren’t charging to the full 280Ah/each. Any idea why this would happen? I also noticed that my Delta is way out of whack compared to what...
Hello Everyone,
If all things the same, meaning price and such, is one cell performing better than the other? Both EVE, both new, both balanced, etc. This will be for an RV solar setup, 16 cells at 24v config. TYIA!!!
Hello Everyone,
Let me start out by saying I'm a noob, so be gentle.
I have my 16 LIFEPo4 all top balanced and ready to finally get my system installed.
Here are the particulars:
Solar Panels will be 2s2p @ 1640W / 84V / 19.3A
Battery will be 8s2p @ 24V / 560Ah
Overkill 8s 100A BMS x 2

Hello Everyone,
I purchased four 405w Jinko panels from San Tan Solar last week as well as a MPP LV2424 Hybrid. I am working on designing the rack system and waiting for some cells from Michael Caro, but in the mean time, was wondering if I could utilize this port on the side of my RV with one...
Hey Everyone,
I recently brought my solar online and everything finally seems to work…well, not quite.
I’m on my first outing and tried turning on the generator with one of my old lead acid batteries since the lithium couldn’t do it. I got the generator to start, but it’s not triggering the...
Hello Everyone,
Noob alert. I am building a system for my RV and the last part I’m confused on is the BMS. Here are the details…
- 4*405w panels (top 2 in series, bottom 2 in series, then parallel)
- 16 lifepo4 280a cells
- 24v 2400w hybrid controller
I want to achieve a 24v 560a system. Any...
Hello, I have two BMS’s that are each hooked up to an 8s lithium bank. Total system is 8s2p for a total of 24v and 560Ah setup. I’m having issues when checking on the state of charge that the software keeps showing 0A and 0%. I open up the settings, change the battery size from 280000mAh to...
Hey everyone,
Just fired up my system. I have two 24v 280Ah Eve packs built with Overkill 8s BMS’s attached. So my total system has 16 cells (8s2p) for a 24v 560Ah system. I’m running an MPP Hybrid LV2424.
My question is this…how do the two packs work together? It seems like one was pulling...
Hello everyone, I'm wondering what folks use for a circuit breaker/fuse between the 120VAC In and an MPP LV2424 Inverter/Controller? I can't seem to find a good solution on Amazon for AC, only DC. I wasn't wanting to install an actual circuit breaker panel for one circuit. Also, what amperage...
Hello Everyone,
Ran into problems with my Magnum-Dimensions inverter and switch. Just ordered the Renogy 2000w inverter along with a Xantrex auto transfer switch. Anyone have input on either of these items either positive or negative? Just curious about the reliability.
This is a temporary fix...
