    EPEVER Tracer 3210AN/Li nuisance warning light, how to clear faults?

    I will give that a try. The CC is located behind a bulkhead panel that is a pain to remove , which is why I use the remote. I'll give it a few days and see if it clears on its own before I remove the panel. The CC seems to be working fine, just that pesky red flashing light and error code...

    EPEVER Tracer 3210AN/Li nuisance warning light, how to clear faults?

    The temp seems to be fine to me, not sure why you think it's low? I have the optional EPEVER temp sensor installed.

    EPEVER Tracer 3210AN/Li nuisance warning light, how to clear faults?

    I have a flashing red warning light on my MT50 remote display and also when I connect via RS485 to my PC a fault listed in the battery parameters on the Solar Station display for "Battery Lo Temp". This seems to be a historical alarm since the current battery temp is 7.5C, which is well above...

    Can't Turn Off Protection Locking

    While doing some load testing I had my JBD BMS go into Protection: Lock mode. I had toggled Charging Mode Off with a light load and it immediately triggered Protection: Lock and then reset Charge Mode to ON. I was able to release the Lock by shutting off both Discharge and Charge Modes and then...

    Dongguan Lighting New Technology- Order options, feedback requested

    I received my cells from Dongguan yesterday via Fedex. (8) 230aH cells plus (2) 120A JBD BMS' were packaged well and had no damage. All cells look new with intact bar codes. I could use some help determining if I have 2 separate mfg. lots. I've attached a few screen shots. It looks like 2...

    Thanks for the info. I'm not in a rush as this will be a winter project for me but it's nice to know my order is moving along as "typical" so far.

    ABS Battery Box for 8S 280 ah 24 Volt Battery

    I guess they're fine enough for a plastic box. However I think the price is quite unrealistic since these are about 6X what a standard battery box costs, without any additional features. For $120 I would expect some sort of cell compression and perhaps also a cell heating control system?? I was...

    Dongguan Lighting New Technology- Order options, feedback requested

    Thanks for the feedback. A number of vendors have also contacted me directly and requested a T/T going around the Alibaba Buyers Assurance (direct bank wire) for a discount. I'm thinking that using my CC or Paypal and going through Alibaba is the best security if anything goes wrong. No...

    Dongguan Lighting New Technology- Order options, feedback requested

    I've collected prices from a number of vendors and wanted to get the groups collective feedback on which deal they felt best about. These were for 8 Grade A Brand New EVE 230Ah cells with bussbars including DDR shipping to the USA. There is a pretty wide price range and a number of these vendors...
