    My goal is to get the product that I trust and I know where it comes from and why it is the price it is. If you are being presented with one product from two different places with two different prices, arent you going to be curious as to why? Yes I am curious and I do want to know why and also I...
  • Post in thread: Eve Energy Co., Ltd.

    Thank you all. I just know, based on their prices it should be a lot more than just a wholesale difference. The fact of the matter is that they are NOT selling the same cells. Eve Energy Co., Ltd seems to be selling their high quality cells and maybe their leftovers are sold to other...

    Thank you for that. It really helped me with the whole fuse topic. Also Im now thinking about replacing the One In All It just seems that I would be having so much more control and If I wanted to upgrade in the futre I guess it would be easier.

    No i have not selected my panels yet and I am so glad that I am seeing your post before I did. That sounds awesome Thank you! I like the concept of being about to rotate the panels however I am not sure how well that is going to work out since where I'll be moving to has high winds But I am so...

    I am also wondering that If I need to use 2 BMS for that battery configuration?

    Hello everyone. I am moving from Ny to Texas. going off the grid( No access what so ever to grid). I have been trying to educate myself on the Solar power topic as much as possible. The moving day is getting closer and so I have to get the spesification of my system down so I can just buy...

    Hello and goodmorning/night Ya'll. I hear good things about EVE cells and I was wondering If Anyone had experiences or know something about these cells?
  • Post in thread: 2p8s or 8s2p

    This is Very interesting! Thank you all for Sharing your knowledge. So In a 16 peiece battery bank there is really no way of avoiding Parallel connection. Bassed on what I am picking up Im better off doing the 8s2p with 2 BMSes so I can monitor EACH cells Performance. At first I though well If...

    The RV is 7x24 and only 1 Air Conditioner I believe its draw is between 500 to 1000 Watt. the good thing is, winter is coming and I wont be needing to run it anytime soon, giving me time to add some Panels in the future.

    Hello ya'll I am trying to put together a solar system 8s 24v 100ah battery bank 3kw inverter So Im wondering what size BMS I need? my guess is something like 150Ah? (3000/24=125) I dont know if the math is correct or not Also I am trying to work with MPPT and I saw that Will said to use BMS...

    With the dimentions I have to work with I am trying to get higher watta panels I stillk have to look into the dimentions of the panels and how big they are to see if I even can fit them all on my Roof. I should Also mention that this is a trailer not an RV it is going to be stationed and not...
  • Post in thread: Please help. Building My First System!

    I just figured out that instead of putting 8 of them in series and then putting them in parallel I need to Parallel them first then just series them all togehter so I can just use a 8s BMS. Also I am seeing that with a BMS I am going to be limited to about 100ah discharge so I'm guessing I am...
  • Post in thread: Questions

    I am planning on buying another 8 down the road and upgrade. I do not believe I am going to pull 3000w so Im just choosing a larger ineverter for later upgrades. Please let me know what you think. should i do this or just go with a smaller inverter alltogehter also the inverter is inside the all...

    Thank you!
  • Post in thread: 2p8s or 8s2p

    Well I was thinking about going for 280 Ah cells and start with 8 but later on down the road I want to upgrade and the All in one unit is only designed for 24 v so Im thinking I am going to keep things at 24v even later on when Iwant to upgrade my battery bank
  • Post in thread: 2p8s or 8s2p

    If Im not mistake I see that you are using the bussbars to parallel connect the two battery pack instead of paralleing them fist then runnning the wires to the busbars. I was wondering about why? Thank you:)
  • Post in thread: Please help. Building My First System!

    Yeah I had no idea. I do not own a fridge yet so when buying I am MOST DEFFINITELY going to remember your advice Hedges :) Thank you so much for that comment. <3

  • Post in thread: 2p8s or 8s2p

    Its becasue I'm thinking of future :D I am no longer considering the 100ah cells. because well my usage seems to need bigger battery bank. Right now I have the 280ah Cells in mind which easily will make a 24V. The talk about the 16 cell is for the future when I want to still increase my battery...
  • Post in thread: Questions

    Thank you so much for that! I'll be cooking and heating up water for coffee/tea with propaine I might not be able to run a water heater unless fully charged and nothing else is working correct? Also In the worksheet it has the fridge, tv, furnace fan, lights and microwave running at the same...
  • Post in thread: C Rate!?

    Hello everyone. I am in the process of buying my first batteries and I can’t decide. Base on my budgetOn one hand I can get 8x 3.2v fortune cells At 100ah with maximum 6c charge and 2C continues discharge or 16x 3.2v grade A New BLS cells at 120ah with recommended .5c charge rate =50ah (max...

    Thank you! ?
  • Post in thread: 2p8s or 8s2p

    Is that the only difference? I was watching a video of Wills and in it he talks about how it’s bad to put cells in series First then parallel. But he doesn’t say why! And so I though there was something seriously wrong with putting my batteries in 8s2p rather than put couple of them in parallel...
  • Post in thread: 2p8s or 8s2p

    Hello. I hope y’all are having a good day/night. I was wondering in configuring a 24v system with 16 cells 3.2v 100ah which is better configuration, 2p8s or 8s2p? I think I know 2p8s is better but I do not know why? Please let me know what you know:) And also if you still wanted to upgrade...
  • Post in thread: What Inverter to buy?

    Hello all I hope you are having a good day/night. So after soaking up alot of information I keep going back and forth between an all in one unit or just getting a Charge controller and an inverter and making my own. I think I am leaning more towards getting my own and assemble them together...
  • Post in thread: Higher amp BMS

    Oh I didn’t know I thought it was how much Ah was the batteries Capable of. That’s why I mentioned the 250 ah Bms just to give it a50am head room. Thank your?
  • Post in thread: 2p8s or 8s2p

    Ah I totally missed it! Thank you!
  • Post in thread: Please help. Building My First System!

    Thank you very much! it’s so nice to have that confirmation. The A/c is a 12000btu unit that I bought from Walmart for a window installation in my current apartment so I thought it would be a safe estimate. But as long as I have somewhere to be, with a decent temperature I’ll be able live...
