Looks like I need to lean into this research this week. Shunts and contactors are not in my current knowledge base. I built my whole system and my home as well. But lifepo is new to me as well as the technical jargon surrounding them.
Also. Just to be clear. I read so many posts I clogged my brain and clearly missed the whole point of yours when I asked what BMS you are running when it was So obviously in your post! ?♂️ Apologies making you repeat yourself.
Excellent. Thank you. I’ll research the Orion. In your experience you think two Orion’s would be the best plan of action ? One per 500ah bank?. I use midnite classics as charge controllers and magnum inverter 240v.
Ty for the update. It’s important to do so imo.
just curious. what BMS are you using on a 400ah bank. I want to do two 500ah (1000ah) lifepo banks to replace my two 435ah (870ah) lead acid banks.
Very interested in your progress. I am replacing 800+ ah lead acid 48v system. Want lifepo with Bms. But want to get as much AH as feasible. Was looking at 500ah cells. But BMS really messes with my plans as I can’t find anything to manage that kind of ah.
I’m also wanting to find a BMS to run a larger system. So I’m super interested in the responses you get here.
I live off grid on a 48v lead acid. It’s time for a change to LIFEPO. So I was looking at 500ah lifepo cells. Thinking I could do two banks and get 1000ah. But the whole BMS thing is...
