Hello from someone else in the UK who’s also on a learning curve. Here’s a link to what I’m up to and my questions and challenges. https://diysolarforum.com/threads/opinions-welcome-for-newbie-lifepo4-battery.47310/post-631140 I also think that you WILL need DNO approval which I’ve yet to make...

Hello, so I’ve received my cells and have some questions. Firstly though the 32 cells arrived bang on 2 months after order date with no issues and where VERY well packaged. The report supplied shows all cells in the range 289.4-292Ah. 1. Each cell has blue and black dots (from a marker pen) on...

Hello All. I've been reading many threads on this forum for some time now and learnt so much already so a big thankyou to the community. This is my first post so please be gentle with me as I may have made some obvious mistakes or incorrect assumptions. Here's the background. I live in the UK...

having changed to ring terminals my capacity tests (2 since) are still yielding approx 4.5% lower than expected or 12Ah. going to loop the same cell through the cycle a couple more times, I think there was a suggestion that it takes a few cycles to release the full capacity. Any merit to this...

Making progress elsewhere though..

Thanks for the advice Substrate and Supervstech I'm fitting a 10awg 6mm ring terminal to the large cables today and will re-test to see if this improves my results. Looking more closely at the existing clips and the contact area with the busbar, I can see it is quite small so a ring terminal...

Thanks for the interest, I’ve tidied up my post above to correct some of my sloppiness with the units etc. I’m using the cables supplied with the tester. You can also see the blue and black dots I mentioned on the terminal in the picture.

My twopence worth (as someone who is a relative novice in this field). I purchased EVE LF280K grade A cells (the more expensive ones from Luyuan with a supplied spreadsheet). The spreadsheet shows 289-292Ah range for my order which I was very happy with given the 30% premium I paid for these...

Regarding your question 4, keeping the cables the same lengths, I was also thinking the same regarding my battery connections on the lynx distributor. I have 2 batteries to connect so I was thinking that the following connection method would keep my cables runs the same length (assuming I cut...

I plan on using Littelfuse 70v MEGA fuses in my Lynx, They go down to 60A it looks like. I found these for 1/3rd the price of the Victron Fuses and they appear to be identical. I am new to this so please do your own verification and I'd welcome any more experienced members telling me if I am...
