    Nice to hear! I already sent an email to Jenny Wu to check the stock.
  • Post in thread: DIY solar battery 14kwh - EVE LF280K cells

    I was planning to customize the Victron appliances to use the recommended LiFePo4 setting of the cells datasheet and let the BMS do the balance work. But I'll take a closer look at your Seplos BMS and JBD driver !!!

    I'm from Europe, I don't think price included shipping will be relevant for California :(
  • Post in thread: EVE-280 cells should these be clamped tight or spaced for expansion?

    Hello, I read all the posts off this thread and it was a lot :) But I'm still a bit confused about how to reach the "good" compression value. I'm planning to use fixed compression for 1p16s with 6 rods and bolts. Does anyone has a simple way to translate 12psi or 300kgf to torque bench wrench...

    oops sorry ! I guess the next of your adventure is here : https://diysolarforum.com/threads/today-i-received-my-new-250a-daly-bms-and-active-balancer.6760/
  • Post in thread: DIY solar battery 14kwh - EVE LF280K cells

    Hello, I'm planning to build a 16s LiFePo4 battery (14kwh) for my home solar setup: Victron MultiPlus-II 48-3000 VA 35-32 GX + Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 + 10 solar panels (355Wc). I was previously looking for LTO cells but my mind switched to the beauty of the LF280K cells and its 6000...
  • Post in thread: Compressing at what SOC?

    Hello, and sorry for hijacking this post but this is the one I understood the most! I'm building a 1p16s EVE LF280K pack. The pack will be physically divided by 2. I plan to use 6 rods (6mm) with M6 bolts. If I understand correctly and if I don't make mistakes about unit conversions or...
  • Post in thread: JiKong (JK) (Neey/Hankzor/HelTec/etc) Smart BMS with Active Balancer BT/Can/RS485 (Input Discussion pre-purchase)

    Hello, Did you take a look a this driver for Victron ? https://github.com/Louisvdw/dbus-serialbattery It looks like working fine with JK bms
  • Post in thread: Compressing at what SOC?

    The end material is plywoods panels 19mm thick. I'm also planning to tube the rods.
  • Post in thread: DIY solar battery 14kwh - EVE LF280K cells

    I read a lot of good information about the links you provided. The driver for JBD seems working fine with Victron : https://github.com/Louisvdw/dbus-serialbattery/wiki/Features So does the Seplos BMS ...

  • Post in thread: New BMS from IC GOGOGO Store / E&J Technology Group

    Hello Fhorst, I'm really sorry to read your story. I was looking for this active balancer BMS for the same reason than you : high charge current rate (and monitoring). The Ant BMS can only charge at 50A max and I need 72A to mach my solar panels production. So the new BMS seemed the answer, but...
  • Post in thread: Seplos CAN BUS RS485 48v 200A 8S-16S BMS

    Hello, a big thank you for all the feedbacks of this can bus compatible BMS !!! For the Victron users I found a post on the Victron forum where people are using it with a GX device on chained LiFePo4 DIY batteries and details of the custom cable needed...

    Thanks for your feedback ! What was your version in this chart ?
  • Post in thread: New BMS from IC GOGOGO Store / E&J Technology Group

    thanks again, according to these specifications the version B1A24S-15P should be enough for 100A charge. You were really unlucky ! I like your solution of using a simple and reliable BMS like the daly as battery protection and monitoring / balancing with a more complexe unit : a good split of...
  • Post in thread: DIY solar battery 14kwh - EVE LF280K cells

    Did you received the Seplos BMS ? I think it make a lot of sense to use it with Victron devices, I just miss the bluetooth feature and hope a passif BMS is enough for this setup. Where did you ordered it and how much was it ?
  • Post in thread: DIY solar battery 14kwh - EVE LF280K cells

    Hey @houseofancients how is this BMS working for you so far? I received my quote for the 150A model and I'm considering to order it for the end of the month when it'll be in stock.
  • Post in thread: Compressing at what SOC?

    Do you have any idea how do I calculate that? Or any better ways to find the right torque value applied for each bolts to match the recommandations?
  • Post in thread: EVE-280 cells should these be clamped tight or spaced for expansion?

    I plan to use 6 rods (6mm) with M6 bolts. If I understand correctly and if I don't make mistakes about unit conversions or translation: I need to apply a total of 660lbs x 2 = 1320 lbs to keep it "compressed". For 6 bolts: 1320/6 = 220 pounds at each bolt With the bolt calculator i found...
  • Post in thread: DIY solar battery 14kwh - EVE LF280K cells

    Thanks for the information. I asked for a quote, I hope the price will be the same for only 1 unit and the shipping price not to expensive.
  • Post in thread: EVE-280 cells should these be clamped tight or spaced for expansion?

    Thank you, for the very clear explanation! I'm also more comfortable with metric system ;) We reach the same result ?
