Overkill Fortune cells have very strong stainless posts

As I understand the Kisae, if you connect the ignition sense wire it will not drain the starter battery, only charges when engine is running.

As mentioned before, not all blue aluminum cells are created equal. I have the Overkill version which has robust studs. My eight cells (200 AH) are in the Overkill stainless rack with Gorilla tape around them. I have been driving over washboard Mexican dirt roads weekly and have made several...

Redundancy is always good, unless the FLA is bad and needs to be replaced, why eliminate?

Keeping in mind nothing in life stays the same, I advise the upgrade to 8 awg...in this case bigger is better and it would be a big pain to upgrade later.When I ordered mine I was planning on a 2000 watt inverter...I ended up with a 3000 watt inverter. I am very happy with my Overkill BMSes...

Really interesting even for a layman, albeit a layman living in the desert?

Don't forget Victron connect and Overkill's bms android application. I can see my battery state from my living room chair in my van outside with the bms app!

1.Charge controllers, in general, will not charge fully discharged batteries for safety reasons. 2. Alligator clips are inadequate for charging connections. If you stop discharging before the battery is totally discharged your scc will recharge the battery without needing another charged battery

I have a 3000 watt inverter and two 100 AH batteries, each with an Overkill BMS. I have run my 1500 watt space heater and mt 15 amp chop saw without a problem and think there is an insta pot in my future...not worried about the Overkill BMS

Hi @snoobler , first let me preface with I'm old and have a poor/faulty memory. I do have an Overkill BMS and when it did a LVD it then would not accept a charge. With Steve's good support I went in to the BMS settings and lowered ( temporarily) the LVD setting which then allowed the battery to...

Adding solder also is a problem in mobile applications because those connections are eventually adversely affected by vibration.

OverKill Solar makes a nice stainless rack.

I am looking for the same info for a friend. Will P. tested the 100ah, there is a video

I have been watching my BM-712 and the draw is .15 amps, of course your draw will depend on your equipment. My draw reflects keeping the capacitors in my 3000 watt inverter charger and the Kisae DMT 1250 as well as an LED volt meter, the Victron battery connect, which has an LED flashing and all...
