Yup, pretty dumb. I'm sure they are all just resellers of a basic HA01 balancer that slap their own label on it. Many vendors selling the same thing with just copy and pasted incorrect information. Pretty lame. I would normally go with Victron, but seems like their balancer isn't ideal for this...
I have a 2500 (201153) and it says max amps out is 15.4 amps on the side sticker. 15.4a x120v= 1848w. So in theory, it should be able to put that out. When I hook up a 1500w heater to mine, it runs it fine. But I've read you should leave 10% capacity unused to not run it full blast. So 13.86a...
Isn't the 4 leads the same as 2 balancers? So I cant use this?

Ok. That's possible. But Litime says that one single battery can be charged to 14.6V. So the bms should handle it? See photo. But I'll try it to see if it makes any difference
Well, looks like mine is defective. Li-Ion light does not light up on the front panel when going into that mode. I wonder how they can stamp ""Quality Check Approved" on the receipt and not even check the basic functions. So instead of just returning it for another, they are making me do a...
Hmm. Possibly. Champion Tech support can be helpful. Sometimes you gotta call a few times to get someone who knows what they are talking about. Could need a new control unit? Worth a shot if its under warranty...
Yes, looks like its 2P2S, because i found a video of this setup from Litme themselves and in the description is says 2P2S. I guess Mavis doesn't agree.
So the way I have it wired now is currently 2S2P? So If I leave it as is and get 2 of the 24v balancers like you are suggesting, this is the...
I already purchased it, but its still in the return window. The diference I see in the 24v only balancers is the addition of a 3rd white nuetral wire, which the 48v balancer does not have.
Could you explain this more? Does that mean you cannot check the voltage of each individual battery? I read in another thread on this that there were pros and cons to this setup....\/

The one advantage I can see of doing 2P2S (i.e. you create TWO 12V batteries of 200Ah) is that the two...
Resurrecting an old thread, but I just ordered an open box also of the same charger (3 output version) for $150 after 15% discount from the same place. Hoping I get good luck with mine also.
Ok, thanks for the tips. So in one of the links you sent for a 24v balancer, it is showing one balancer for a 24v system. Is this correct?

Just a follow-up from Mavis. I decided to return the 48v balancer and my previous question and his reply to it (screenshot)..."Ok. I'm not trying to argue, but trying to understand. Are they the same with same benefits 2S2P vs 2P2S? Because this video from Litime shows the same configuration but...
Ok, I talked to a tech at InvertersRUS and he said to set my charged voltage to 0.2 to 0.3v below the FLOAT voltage. I had it set to 0.2v below the Absorption voltage. But I get conflicting information online. I have my 24v 2S2P charging with a Victron 100/50 and also a Multiplus II 24/3000/70...
I'm trying to figure out how to correctly connect this 48 volt battery balancer to a 2s 2p 24 volt string with four 12 volt batteries. I am still confused where the terminals go. Can anyone shed some light on where I connect the two left pair of connectors of the 48 volt balancer? See photos
This review says only one needed? (should I still get 2 of these?)

I seem to be getting inaccurate state of charge readings on my victron smartshunt 500 amp. I have a 2s2p setup with four litime 12 volt 230 amp hour batteries. I assume since it's 2s2p that I would set the consumed amp hour total to 460? When I discharge and recharge it doesn't fully go back...
