  • Ecoflow Delta2 solar charging

    Just trying to find out if this is a normal thing. I have an Ecoflow D2 that allows 500w/60v max solar and has a 15a limit on the MPPT. I have three 195w Ecoworthy bifacial panels in parallel because series would be to much voltage. On a bright clear sunny day, panels at the correct angle to the...

  • Big battery A123 24v cells

    I did the initial charge on a Bigbattery a123 24 v LiFePo Today at 28v10a. One cell jumped way up During charging and the BMS disconnected for cell over voltage at 3.65v. any opionions on what may be occurring here? Bad cell??? This is how it looks after 3 hours off the charger. 1st pic while...
  • Trusting VHB or Sikaflex?

    NEVER RELY ON ANY ADHESIVE AS THE SOLE WAY TO MOUNT PANELS ON YOUR RV!!! Always use a secondary safety attachment such as a steel cable!! This is a VERY real possibility no matter how well you follow clean installation guidelines!! :eek: Those rookie youtube VHB panel mounting videos are...
  • 2 LiFePo batteries in parallel

    This may have been addressed before but can’t find it. When connecting 2 LiFePo 12v-100ah batteries in parallel producing 12v-200ah capacity, what is the most efficient way to connect the cables out to inverter? Pos from one and neg from the other, Or will it make no difference if it’s connected...

  • BMS balance wires

    I have been wondering about the balance wire number on the BMS. Can a BMS made with a higher # of sense wiring than needed work on a battery with a lower # of sense wires needed? Such as an 8s used on a battery needing a 4s by just not using the last 4 sense wires. Will it still balance a 4...
  • Changed to a Victron CC

    Had a big EPever 4215bn MPPT CC and bought a Victron smart solar 100-30 to replace it. Loved the EPever but it takes up valuable space in my install. Installed, updated and set parameters. Piece O cake so far. This is what I have currently set for my 12v 100ah LiFePo setup. I do have...
  • Fuse or breaker sizing for 24v

    What size fuse or breaker would be appropriate for use on a 24v 100ah LiFePo to a 24v 2000w pure sine inverter for RV use where a small microwave (700w/1100w use) or a 1200 w coffee maker would be the largest Draw?
  • LiFePo safe storage temps

    Looking for opinions on reasonable storage temps for LiFePo’s in storage. Summer out here in AZ so it’s blazing outside ? Removed from RV and put in garage and the BMS temp sensors are reading 105deg f out side. Too hot for healthy storage? ?
