  • Post in thread: turning equalising off Epever Upower 3000 hm10022

    Oh I didn't though about that.. i'll look. I have no temp sensor ? should I add the volt sensing leads to the battery? I just checked, it seems that gel has that option off.. nice tip!
  • Post in thread: DC Switch for lights, switch positive or negative leg of circuit?

    I would always switch the positive.. switching negative you have the chance that if for any wacky reason the appliance grounds itself to ground(all the chassis if grounded is negative), it will complete the circuit.. Another reason it that if you have to do any maintenance on the appliance, you...

    I got confused with the wire size, so ok I can make it with wires I have around..
  • Post in thread: EPEVER Cloud

    I have one bank of 280ah 24v, 50mm cable to fuse and distribution box and than 50mm to inverter, than 50mm from the Daly 250ah BMS to the bus bar and than to the inverter.. 50mm is rated at +300a and it's fused with a 200a.. So I would say that your 70mm is definitely overkilled ?
  • Post in thread: EPEVER Cloud

    So I ended up putting boost at 28.2, same for equalising, and the high voltage disconnect at 29, so that should keep the battery safe.. and the BMS triggers at 29.2. Let's see what happens.. it was a bit underwhelming today.. cloudy, 1200wh of panels.. 9a going in ?. Let's see what happens on...

    Mmm ok, is it a pleasant white noise at least? ? As far as solar I will be able to have either 600w or 1000W of I can manage to exploit all the roof space.. so ~40a max of solar input (which I will never reach in UK)
  • Post in thread: BMS & safety advice for 24v 280ah lifepo4

    How's the charging rate, and does it have a common port or separate port? Where do you live? Imports are a mess now in UK, so I'm wondering if they are still shipping here..
  • Post in thread: EPever all in one

    Hi, as far EPEVER I emailed them regarding the lithium compatibility.. This was their answer.. sadly Hi Lorenzo, Thank you for reaching EPEVER. The resellers are right, unfortuately UP-M model does not support Lithium battery. EPEVER doesn't have the proper product for your application now...
  • Post in thread: EPever all in one

    Ok now I read everything again, it definitely make sense. I'll have a 70a dc-dc charger from my inverter.. I guess that will do as far full charge every time I drive far enough. If I go to 100% will that solve the problem of balancing? I'm planning on getting a Dali 8s 24v 250a bms. The...
  • Post in thread: EPEVER Cloud

    Whoops, I just realized that I have the upower up3000 hm10022, not the up-hi3000 hm10022.. .and apparently it's not compatible with lithium... Even if I think how I set it up it shouldn't have any major problems.. The epever assistance mentioned that mine doesn't have the capability to...
  • Post in thread: BMS 200ah separate ports for 24v 280ah battery, low temp disconnect

    What about low temp disconnect? Does it stop charging only ora both load and charge? Does it have Bluetooth or some other way to monitor it/modify parameters?
  • Post in thread: BMS & safety advice for 24v 280ah lifepo4

    I would prefer to have a separate charge port, since I'm going to use it in my camper, I want to be able to start my heater in -0c ersther6, instead of having a dead battery..
  • Post in thread: EPever all in one

    It looks like they are mmpt inverters that feeds directly into the grid, So they don't have a battery charger in it, and they are not ment to supply power to your sockets.. and they won't charge the batteries when plugged in the grid..
  • Post in thread: BMS & safety advice for 24v 280ah lifepo4

    Hi, I've just ordered 8x 3.2v 280ah cells to make up a 24v battery for my camper conversion. Do you have any advice for a bms with low temp protection? I'm thinking about coupling the battery with an all in one mmpt/inverter of 2500/3000v to power an induction top. I already have a sterling...
  • Post in thread: BMS 200ah separate ports for 24v 280ah battery, low temp disconnect

    Hi, I'm looking for a BMS that can handle 200-250a of discharge and at least 130a of charge. It needs to have low temp disconnect. It needs to have a separate ports. The battery will be in a van, and I still want to power the heater (so to heat the batteries as well) at low temps, instead of...
  • Post in thread: EPEVER Cloud

    Tomorrow I'll try and see.. in another post they suggested to check if any battery chemistry has the equalisation turned off, and the gel seems to have it off.. so I may be able to use that and modify the parameters? Can I modify all the parameters after I selected a type of battery? If you...
  • Post in thread: EPEVER Cloud

    I know it's off topic, but is anyone using the up3000 hi - hm10022 with lifepo4 batteries? reading on the manual it seems it's not possible to set the equalising time to 0, neither to set a low voltage for the equalisation as it's not possible to be modified by the user.. How have you dealt...
  • Post in thread: BMS 200ah separate ports for 24v 280ah battery, low temp disconnect

    So, i already have a b2b charger that sadly doesn't have a temp disconnect and I will use an all in one mppt inverter that again doesn't have a temp disconnect. Could I use the victron bmv-712's relay output to regulate the chargers input? Btw I just realized that probably the all in one...

  • Post in thread: EPEVER Cloud

    thanks for the quick reply.. I have a rough idea of how to set up the parameters (i extracted values from varies topics and articles). I can't connect the unit to my pc at the moment.. so i thought i could do it throught the standard menu. The problem is that looking at the manual the...
  • Post in thread: EPever all in one

    I had a look, and from that brand anything that goes closer to EPEVER cost upward of 900£ :/
  • Post in thread: EPEVER Cloud

    here's the settings i was thinking of using for a 280 ah 8s 24v lifepo4 battery. (they are shown in order of comparison the upower menu and with the same option numebers. 7)Low voltage disconnect 21.4v 8)low voltage reconnect 24v 9)boost charging time 180min ( 30 min for every 100ah for a 12v...
  • Post in thread: EPEVER Cloud

    ok so it means that the equalising should happen when the boost voltage has been already reached and no current will actually go through?
  • Post in thread: Settings epever upower 3000w lifepo4 settings

    Mine is an all in one unit. Mppt/inverter/AC charger/grid/battery switchover. Sorry I can't help you, I'm not familiar with other products. Try to write to helpdesk@epever.com
  • Post in thread: Settings epever upower 3000w lifepo4 settings

    Hi, I just managed to install an epever upower 3000w all in one inverter.. Could anyone share some settings for a 24v 8s lifepo4 battery bank? Do anyone knows if there is an option to shut down the inverter while keeping the mppt inverter on?
