DIY forever There is no shunt trip breaker at all. There are fuses on each battery, 1pc 250A breaker for the inverter, 3pcs 80A breaker for the charge controllers, 5pcs 63A circuit breakers for the solar panels. The BMS is connected in a way to be able to switch off charging through the 5...

DIY forever.

Glad to hear you like like it and thank you for your kind words. The straps over the top and sides keep the batteries together firmly. The Batrium is the best I could find that allows batteries in parallel (1P16S×6 in my case) without having to worry about balancing at the cell level. Downside...

I came up with the idea because of space constraints. I used 3 straps for my first build, but I decided on 4 straps for the second build. The build was done on the ground and lifted to position. 16 cells sit on a modified pallet, strapped together with the batteries. I figured I'll have a...

DIY system with the following: -3 Morningstar MPPT-60. -1 12Kw Growatt 12 KT HVM. -1 Watchmon Core + 6 K9s + Fan. -1 Batrium 500A shunt. -96 Eve LF280K mixed a little bit. -5 Gigavac Contactors P195FDA to control charging through Watchmon Core. -Board to the right for spares. Sorry for bad pictures.

I am experiencing the same problem. Whenever it happens, the state of charge as shown on the page goes to zero, and there is a fault event set on the page but not on the inverter.

Well, it depends on the BMS you have. What is the model of your BMS?

You are right. Anything else?

Should I ask you same?

Oh, you mean a conversation? Didn't know you call it an email in the south. The only message you sent was what I posted. There was no other explanation. Could you should me this explanation of yours?

Stop lying. We never had any email exchange. Curious though, how do you top-balance cells individually?

Thank but no thanks. A cell swells while top balancing. I wish the buyer of other cells good luck.

Thanks for the information.

Oh really? You offered $100 each but I said it was too high for damaged cells. I never offered you anything because I didn't want damaged cells but I pointed out the price was high and I felt others should know the condition of the batteries by quoting you and leaving out your $100 offer which I...

Important message from the seller: "A couple of the batteries have swollen a bit due to a defective charger when I first got them and was leveling them, just FYI..."
