  • Post in thread: Why do we use avg power when sizing inverter?

    Yes I thought that the power wattage on devices is the average for an hour given that some are constant consumption and some are erratic with surge. I thought that manufacturers put the average power on the label to make it easy to calculate the hourly consumption. Now I got it. It is the peak...

    Thank you for referencing your source of information and where you pulling it from haha
  • Post in thread: Bench power supply to simulate solar panel

    In my EPEVER There needs to be 2-3 volt higher than the battery max volt for the SCC to be able to charge. So you need 16-17v to simulate a panel power source

    I think he is talking about the damage caused by a hot wire.

  • Post in thread: DIY BMS design and reflection

    Yes please. I just went through thousand pages. I was looking for how do you find out the state of charge (SOC) I had one idea in mind. But I am sure you have figured something better as you have been working on this for sometime already. If you just powered the BMS to a battery how can it tell...
  • Post in thread: Some busbars are hotter than others

    How can I tell? Can you tell from the picure if the stud is aluminium? From the shin looks like stainless. How about I sand around the stud a bit and put soft copper or aluminium washer and that would press on the sanded area, then busbar comes on top of the washer? Would something like MG...
  • Post in thread: Is there any liquid inside lifepo4 cell?

    I hear liquid gargling noise when tilting the cell. is this normal???
  • Post in thread: Can I use 30A AC rocker switch for 30A DC ?

    To prevent SCC self consumption during winter months. Is there any other solution to this? I measured it is 0.5w @14v = 1kw/3months. my battery is 1kwh so it will deplete it completely, right?
  • Post in thread: Some busbars are hotter than others

    But those size are like terminals that I got first order (see previous pages) , now I am saying that they are even smaller. Could you take a look and confirm? The video is using the older ones. So we have now 2 types, small ( no big problem) and tiny (which I am talking about now). I took...
  • Post in thread: How much does the Chinese resellers get the grade B cells

    So what is the main use case for them? who is buying the grade A in the tens of thousands?
  • Post in thread: Can I use 30A AC rocker switch for 30A DC ?

    I have found one 30A and DC. But it is cheap. Is that a bad thing? the switching won't be frequent https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32963016394.html
  • Post in thread: New offering true Grade A EVE 280ah? 118usd

    Thank you for sharing knowledge. There was no need to repeat what you have already said. The first paragraph of your answer was good explanation. I was just hoping that I would be able to buy some of those bulk cells from Amy, I guess it is temporary shortages due to high demand as you said.
  • Post in thread: Can I use 30A AC rocker switch for 30A DC ?

    Thank you. Yes I agree. But which bring me to the question. Is there need for a fuse between SCC and battery as in for safety reason? I followed victorn wiring guide and they just talked about fuse the load such as inverter, and also the PV string. Nothing about fuse between SCC and battery.
  • Post in thread: Received 280ah cells from Basen

    Did you have to measure IR and send it to them? Have you tested the capacity of the damaged cells, would be interesting to see the effect of such damage on capacity

  • Post in thread: Dongguan Lightning New Energy order, used CATL 120Ah LiFePo4??

    Oh grade A for them is the rejected cells that did not match the specs. For her there is something called A+ and those are the ones that matches the specs of the cell... go figure I feel that when I order A+ they will tell me oh but there is A++ ...
  • Post in thread: Can three phase inverter be importing power on one phase and exporting on the other two?

    @wattmatters couple of questions more :) 1- Based only on the data from the on-grid inverter, we are not able to know if the net meter shows we are exporting or importing data, correct? because on-grid inverter just shows the power from solar, and does not know about appliances self-consumption...
  • Post in thread: Why do we use avg power when sizing inverter?

    ok so 310W draw when running. how do you calculate the consumption if it running for 5 seconds? 310W*5 = 1550w.Sec which is 0.43wh. ok thank you guys I think I got that part But it still means that if my loads rating is 1000W, I need at least 1000W inverter to run them
  • Post in thread: Alibaba purchase feedback - Dongguan Lightning New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.,

    have you actually tested the capacity of the cells? or you didn't see the need?
  • Post in thread: Anyone got DAP shipping instead of DDP ?

    Xuba has been avoiding and ignoring my questions about the VAT amount that I pay through them. Is there any seller that ships DAP so I could handle the customs and VAT myself?
  • Post in thread: EVE LF280K 16S JK B2A24S15P-CAN

    Ok thanks, so do you recommend those 280K grade A fron Nkon? or should I look into another manufacturer? I keep reading that the 280K is having issues even if grade A

    Hi, Like if the new grade A EVE 280ah cell cost 175usd. How much EVE is selling the grade B cells to the alibaba resellers? I heard that they group buy together from EVE. But how much % of produce cells matches the A grade specs and how many end up as B. And for how much those Bs gets sold...

    Mine are 110ah. The answer I got that the cell has not yet suck in the liquid. I have been using 4 of them and I will disassembly the pack and shake again for noise
  • Post in thread: Can three phase inverter be importing power on one phase and exporting on the other two?

    Thanks but without knowing the actual load consumption on each phase, it is hard to figure out the inverter logic
  • Post in thread: Connecting high voltage LFP battery on parallel with solar array

    But for simplicity I said do not worry about the health/protection of the battery. The question is about the internal resistance of battery vs an MPPT that can manipulate its internal resistance. Why would you ignore the question I am trying to find an answer for and worry about the only thing...
