    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...

    After some back and forth emails and a phone call, looks like they are shipping me a replacement free of charge, instead of the warranty route.

    Looks like you've already answered this in another thread.... https://diysolarforum.com/threads/battery-equalizer-for-2s2p-agm.52992/
  • Post in thread: New EG4 Chargeverter V2

    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? https://www.litime.com/products/litime-48v-battery-balancer-for-24v-36v-48v-battery-bank?_pos=1&_psq=bala&_ss=e&_v=1.0

    Ok, thanks. Just all of this conflicting information from vendors is making my head spin. lol.
  • Post in thread: Victron Smartshunt SOC 2S2P

    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
  • Post in thread: Open box Victron IP22 Blue Smart chargers $142

    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...
  • Post in thread: Connecting Litime 48v battery balancer to 2S2P 24v system.

    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...
  • Post in thread: Connecting Litime 48v battery balancer to 2S2P 24v system.

    Mavis is still saying his drawing is a 2S2P system, but their video says 2P2S with the same configuration. So which is it? 2S2P or 2P2S?
  • Post in thread: Connecting Litime 48v battery balancer to 2S2P 24v system.

    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.

    Do you have a good source for these? Seems like all the Amazon ones are too small for 2/0 AWG
  • Post in thread: Victron Smartshunt SOC 2S2P

    Yup. I have it at 29v and 29.2 on chargers. I also have 2 24v battery balancers

    Ok, thanks!
  • Post in thread: smoked my inverter and my mppt. looking for a 12V all in one?

    Let is know how you like it, I was looking at this one as a budget option, but not enough reviews out there. Looks like its a Low Freq inverter.
  • Post in thread: Connecting Litime 48v battery balancer to 2S2P 24v system.

    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...
  • Post in thread: Connecting Litime 48v battery balancer to 2S2P 24v system.

    So what do I have currently? Is this 2S2P the way it is wired now?

    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.
  • Post in thread: Connecting Litime 48v battery balancer to 2S2P 24v system.

    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? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L8XKZ71?th=1
  • Post in thread: Connecting Litime 48v battery balancer to 2S2P 24v system.

    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...
  • Post in thread: Victron Smartshunt SOC 2S2P

    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...
  • Post in thread: Connecting Litime 48v battery balancer to 2S2P 24v system.

    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

  • Post in thread: Victron Smartshunt SOC 2S2P

    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...
