I think I'm out just based on the weight alone. I don't have the ability to move around a 650 pound battery much less get it out of the car.

That is a crazy price drop compared to when I build my system 2 years ago.

Yeah I should've included that in my original post. 48 cells! That's insane lol

I can probably get the whole car for $400-500

Long time no talk, which is a good thing because my solar has been running flawlessly. However I have the opportunity to purchase a 2015 Nissan leaf EV for next to nothing. There are almost zero details on the vehicle other than it seems to be in very good condition. It is a police impound...

Basically turned off all my gadgets for about 4 days, minus my work laptop. They came around after a few days. I had the voltages but I don't think then had the "torque" behind them to go the distance. Back to standard operating procedure. This thread definitely highlighted some things I need...

Do you think the BMS itself would cause a parasitic drain during storage?

Ah, I see what you mean. The daylight hours are only getting shorter and shorter. One thing I've always wondered is how low is too low? I don't want to push the boundaries but it would be nice to know when I need to shit my pants.

Yes, It was a little cloudy about half the days and sunny the rest. I could be overreacting a bit, I've been known to do that. Maybe subconsciously I just wanted to buy new toys. I'll cut down my power usage over the next few days and see what happens. Unplugged the fridge just now, looks like...

Oh yeah forgot to mention they are 280ah cells.

I wasn't worried about the panels, but the batteries. I know the BMS has built in protection but I preferred not to risk it. 3 months or so I just had it parked without touching it. The other 3 months I had the panels disconnected but that's it, no other changes. Doesn't get very warm where I...

20a seems to be about average compared to last year. I believe the max output of the panels output about 29.9a total at peak output (combined). 3x 315w panels in series. Charge controller is the 40a mppt controller, 4215nb iirc. I actually didn't redo any wiring between last year am now, which...

I live in my bus half the year, other half is in a regular house. I run a 24v system with epever mppt charge controller, 900w in panels, current connected bms. 8x eve 3.2 v cells. I stay in southern California during the winter so sunshine generally isn't a problem. Last year I was able to run...

In getting ready to tear into the interior of my bus to redo it. This requires basically everything on the inside being stripped. I have 8 lifepo4 cells with an overkill bms. The batteries will need to be disconnected for a month or two. What's the best way to store them? Bms still connected...

Nevermind. I hate the Android version of this app. Switch function did the trick.
