Why not use a Bussmann marine fuse holder? I bolt those to a battery bank busbar and connect the individual batteries to the busbar through these fuses. I believe Deep Sea may stock these. I have bought my fuse holders through AliExpress but the fuses are genuine Bussmann.

I found that the SOC was 50% but I still have to carry out a full discharge and charge cycle to confirm. I am a bit pre-occupied with other matters at present and will do so soon. In any case they are working out OK so far and the delta cell voltages remains small. I am using a SEPLOS BMS.

Has anybody come across Rayleigh inverters. They are ostensibly made by Rayleigh Instruments (UK) and sold in the UK through City Electrical Factors (CEF). They also have a Polish address on their web site. Are they perhaps made in Poland? I have not been able to find any reviews for their...

I have put them in a "mild" compression frame and used die springs to allow the cells to expand by a small additional amount as they are being charged. After assembly I found that the cells were actually at 50% SOC. They have now been charged to 100% without any obvious problems and have been...

During most of my career I was involved in the generator industry and in my time I have seen some unbelievably ignorant purchasing specifications drawn up by very expensive consultants employed by companies purchasing the generators. I therefore fully understand you. The problem is that large...

I am going to assemble them next week and will then charge the battery to 100% SOC and see what happens. Hopefully at some time in the future some LFP cell standards will be developed so that us buyers have some sort of guide to work with. The present situation would not really be acceptable in...

I originally posted this under an old post regarding Ninthcit cells. That was possibly the wrong thread. Here go... I have just received 16 nos 280Ah Ninthcit cells, at least the cells have Ninthcit labels but the code on the cells refers to EVE. I actually ordered grade A EVE cells from the...

I have just received 16 nos 280Ah Ninthcit cells, at least the cells have Ninthcit labels but the code on the cells refers to EVE. I actually ordered grade A EVE cells from the supplier BLS Battery through AliExpress. The cells were courier delivered from their warehouse in Germany and they...

I have almost given up on getting a satisfactory response from Wulills. I received the batteries in December and I unpacked them and started the batteries. One battery started and I measured a voltage of 53V. The other battery did not start. I assumed it had discharged. I did not have an...

Last year I ordered 2nos 100AH 48V LifePo2 batteries from Wulill through the AliExpress web site. I received the two batteries just before the end of December. When I received the batteries one battery did not switch, as I had not yet received the inverter I was unable to charge the batteries...

I hatte 2 stck Wullils 100Ah 48V in oktober bestellt und die sind hier in die 1ste Woche dezember angekommen (Irland). Alles scheint in Ordnung zu sein aber ich muss die Batterien noch pruefen. Aktuelle Lieferzeit <2 Monaten. Ich habe mehr Batterien bei Cerrnss bestellt, die kommen in januar...

Correction: the 11kW MAX II Axpert costs less than half of that.

NB 100Fuegos mentioned Sunsynk inverters. The 8.8kW costs over £4k in the UK. The 11kW Multplus II costs less than half of that!

My peak load COULD theoretically be 11kW but more usually well under 5kW. I had a quotation from a Victron dealer for a 5kW Multiplus II which the dealer said should be adequate for my specific needs. Having looked at the MultiPlus II manual I was not at all convinced that the 32A auxiliary...

Thanks. Just what I was looking for! I had already looked at the Victron inverter but I was (and still am) whether the Victron Multiplus inverter would meet my exact requirements. I will pursue this subject further on that thread! I appreciate your quick response!
