    Four Lishen 272ah Cells for sale - Southwest FL (Also Chargery BMS, Victron Multiplus, etc)

    Good afternoon, My wife and I were planning to refit a sailing catamaran but ended up selling the boat and buying something newer instead and thus I have a number of items available for sale. Items are located in Southwest FL (Punta Gorda) and are either new or like-new. Prices and shipping...

    Small sailing cat electrical refit - LiFePO4, Victron goodies, and NodeRed / MQTT integration.

    My wife and I recently bought a new-to-us Gemini 105M sailing cat, she's in pretty good shape overall but the electrical, wiring specifically, is in need of some attention so I'm planning on rewiring a good share of the boat, swapping out the FLA batteries for Lithium, and making some other...

    Following up on this - @Chargery any chance of a black friday discount code for free/reduced shipping or a % off for members of DIYSolar?

    Chargery BMS, DCC (Solid State Contactor) thread.

    So he does, nice catch. I wonder what exactly is different and if it will cause any issues with my proposed design. I am hoping it's just that the common port has to accept both signals and handling of those vs just a single signal for each separate port DCC - but hard to say for certain. The...

    Chargery BMS, DCC (Solid State Contactor) thread.

    Thanks Bob, that's what I'm trying to confirm. I will see if I can't go searching for Jason's posts and see if I can confirm that or not. So far I haven't seen anything that eludes to that.

    Chargery BMS, DCC (Solid State Contactor) thread.

    Thanks Steve, My thought was to set the system up as follows: Chargery BMS Connected to a single 4S 280AH LiFePO4 pack (might expand to second eventually) Leverage this project to pull the Chargery Data into EmonCMS and more specifically MQTT so I'll know what the individual cell voltages...

    Checking Chargery voltage measurements

    You may be right haha. The fact of the matter is there is no 'perfect' solution, partially because everyone's needs and ideas of what a BMS should be are different. I personally don't care about SOC meter within the BMS since I will be doing that externally, I'm most concerned with the...

    Chargery BMS, DCC (Solid State Contactor) thread.

    Getting closer to pulling the trigger on a LiFePO4 bank and I have a question surrounding Chargery BMS' and these DCC's I think I have a fairly decent handle on common port vs separate port wiring options- and I like the idea of going separate port from a recovery standpoint - nice to still...

    Checking Chargery voltage measurements

    Following along, I was leaning towards possibly using a Chargery BMS in a new lithium marine system I'm putting together, but this seems like a bit of a problem to some degree for any install, but especially off grid installs (RV, Boat, etc). If I'm following this conversation properly there...

    Multiple Charging Profiles - storage vs use?

    In the process of some unrelated research I came across the fact that you can run the Victron Venus / GX software on a raspberry pi which for my purposes might work out really well and save a heck of a lot of money in the process compared to buying a Cerbo GX and the Display. Part of that...

    Multiple Charging Profiles - storage vs use?

    Thanks - I think the batteries would essentially be in the 75-100% charge range for weeks at minimum and possibly months in some cases, our trips that are 2-3+ days long will have a higher likelyhood of draining the bank down a bit further but day sailing likely wont. I guess even if its a...

    Multiple Charging Profiles - storage vs use?

    Greetings All, I've been doing quite a lot of reading around Lithium (LiFePO4 specifically) as it relates to boats and marine use. I feel pretty comfortable with how the technology differs from Lead Acid, the gotchas, design requirements, etc but I am hoping someone can offer a little guidance...
