    BCS / BuyCheapSolar 10kwh LifepO4 pack for $2850

    Damn I might buy a few. 75 (64 if you buy a pallet) bucks for a 370W panel! Hell I may buy more than a few. I have a whole west roof left for expansion.

    BCS / BuyCheapSolar 10kwh LifepO4 pack for $2850

    I bought 25 Jinko panels from them locally and they have been great for 3+ years now. Don’t know about shipping though. When I bought they were working out of a large house with panels stored outside. That could be different now.

    Updated JK-PB2A16S-20PH from v15.06 to v15.10. Did I loose heating activation?

    https://www.jkbms.net/download_pc has a version 15.11 firmware out now. Maybe it was a bug they fixed.

    Anybody tried new JK BMS with inverter communication support?

    Yes, you'll need either a raspi with venus and a third party can adapter, or just buy a cerbo, or venus, or any other GX device with native built in CAN. You'll be better in the long run with software updates (imho)

    EEL box with JK BMS

    I got my busbars from eel and they actually have a nut embedded for voltage sense/balance wires! Very cool!!

    Anybody tried new JK BMS with inverter communication support?

    Lunar new year is over in china so I got a reply in the heating function from JK: For instructions on heating cables, the green 5PIN cable of the heating cable needs to be linked to the heating pad, and the rest of the black and red cables are linked to the smart charger (after the smart...

    EEL box with JK BMS

    No screen is a selling feature. I honestly couldn't care less about a screen when there is a bluetooth app and CAN comms.

    Anybody tried new JK BMS with inverter communication support?

    It came with the kit. All the cables were premade.

    Anybody tried new JK BMS with inverter communication support?

    Did a rough assembly of the BMS onto the front panel. The cable CAN work just wish it was a bit shorter. Also did anyone hear about this heater cable? Was is the red and black cable for?

    BMS with heater function. 30w too low?

    I’ve had the series pad connected for about 30 min and it’s hardly warm. I cut the series connection and put them in parallel it’s much better. It’s noticeable warmer but still able to leave my hand on the pad as it’s distributed over a wider area. I think this should be good enough as I...

    BMS with heater function. 30w too low?

    1. I was thinking the same thing, however this 30 or 60w will be distributed over a larger surface area so I figured that it would probably heat much slower and less direct so it wouldn't have the same impact as a lightbulb with the resistor over less than an inch. 2. No, not all the time. It's...

    BMS with heater function. 30w too low?

    I'll be installing a 8sp2 system into an EEL server rack battery box for a 24 system with the new JK BMS inverter BMS. EEL sells heating pads (designed for 48v systems) that has two pads in series. I figured the lower voltage should just halve the power. I measured the resistance and it's around...
