When it shuts down, the ac voltage display zeros out then resets to 120. The only other display is in- voltage. I tried a 75 watt light bulb ( not led).

I purchased a Weize 100ah LifeP04 battery from Amazon a few weeks ago. It came with swollen sides. Did a capacity test and got 1209ah. Seems to work ok but am reluctant to install it in my garage where it will be used every day. Amazon’s policy is no returns. Seller emailed me saying as long as...

I purchased a Yinleader 1500watt inverter for my shed power. It’s hooked up to a 100amp LifeP04 battery. It will run a 1k heater, toaster, hot water kettle, lights etc. But it won’t run a 100watt electric blanket. It starts up for a second then shuts down. The inverter also resets itself. The...

What I have is a Renogy MPPT charge controller 12v/24v, 3000w pure sine inverter, 2-12v 200amp LifeP04 batteries. Just got the second battery and want to put them in series to get 24v charge to the batteries from the controller. Now I realize that the only way is to feed off one battery for the...

I used the cable that came with it. Not marked, maybe 4awg? Will upgrade the breaker. I have some heavier cables, will also upgrade those.

So I’m in the market for a 50ah battery. Have a Nermak one I got year ago or so. Did a capacity test, came out ok. Ended up using it for a diy power station. Looking for another one to use as a supplemental power source. Looking at different makes and noticed a large variation in weight. The one...

Yes, only load on it. I have a volt meter/ shunt attached to the battery. I have tried many other devices which all work. Only problem I had was when running a 1200 watt heater, it tripped the 100amp breaker which I’ll replace with a 150 when I receive it.

Did some double checking. Volt meter at input reads 12.8, controller reads 13.0 and voltage display in inverter reads 12.3. Running a heater at 800w, runs fine for 15 min. Voltage at input drops to 12.2 and inverter display is 12.0/11.9. Crank up heater to 1200w: voltage input stays 12.1/2...

Pure sine wave or so it says. No ground lug on cord. Tried an old electric blanket, same result. May just return it for a replacement and see what happens.

Just thought of something. Are the individual outlets limited in wattage output? Like 800w for each?

I want to do a capacity test on this battery. Charging it up as we speak. Should I let it run down completely till the tester shuts off or sooner at a certain voltage? Will the BMS protect it?

First time DIY build in garage running fridge, lights, miscellaneous. Has worked for a few weeks with loads up to 500 watts or so. The inverter is a Jiguun 2000w pure sine powered by a 200a LifeP04. Solar charged. The other morning I decided to run a space heater. At med setting (950w) it ran...

So I got a Weize 100ah LifeP04 battery for a DIY power station to run my fridge and lights, etc in my garage. First time with this type of battery. From Amazon by a third party seller. The sides are swollen out about 3/16”. To me it is noticeable. Capacity test is 1200 wh and hooked up to a 1k...
