    PowMr LVM 48 volt 5000 watt hybrid All-in-One (120 v) does not see my Solar Panels FINALLY flipped the switch today!

    Thanks for the fuse warning - I thought I was being extra careful by fusing the panels even though the regs say that no fuses are needed if amps are under 15....Obviously I am still learning.... I have a T-class 200 (or maybe 150) AND an ANL 120 both on the positive wire between the batteries...

    PowMr LVM 48 volt 5000 watt hybrid All-in-One (120 v) does not see my Solar Panels FINALLY flipped the switch today!

    Of course I am not running the wires through naked. The point was supposed to be funny and that bushings shouldn't be needed if someone designed these boxes better. Surely there must be a better way! Anyway sorry to distract. The batteries finally got down to dangerous territory, so I turned...

    PowMr LVM 48 volt 5000 watt hybrid All-in-One (120 v) does not see my Solar Panels FINALLY flipped the switch today!

    Hi All! I finally learned enough to flip the switch on my PowMr 5kw 48 volt hybrid all in one (120 v only) system which seems to only partly work so far - in that I can use the batteries to run my loads through the AC out (attached to a power-surge power bar thus far). But this all in one does...

    SOS I have to "flip the switch" on my 48 volt Lifepo4 Off-Grid HELP! PLEASE!

    Hi-I am off-grid. I found a cabin and moved in. I don't get cell service here and my only camera is on my phone-oh maybe I can email the pictures to myself. of course i can. I will take some pictures. I do not know how to turn on my PowMr. (except for the two switches?). How do I turn it on...

    SOS I have to "flip the switch" on my 48 volt Lifepo4 Off-Grid HELP! PLEASE!

    I am SO sorry this is such a long question but I am about to "flip the switch" on my 48-volt lithium off-grid system, and I want to check that I am not doing something terribly wrong which will cause my early termination :). I am very confused. Situation: I moved to off-grid cabin. There is an...

    Confused: i have 48 volt lifepo4 230ah diy battery. Can i get a 230ah 16s BMS

    Thanks! My 2-ought is brand new, specifically for the run between the inverter and batteries - which will be about 18 inches or so. I would feel a lot better using the thick cable given the powerful batteries and being off-grid with no fire-station or even running water ...i just don't know how...

    Confused: i have 48 volt lifepo4 230ah diy battery. Can i get a 230ah 16s BMS

    sorry the breaker box is an ac breaker box - but i want to use it as a dc one I think.....É wish I knew how to make a question mark...

    Confused: i have 48 volt lifepo4 230ah diy battery. Can i get a 230ah 16s BMS

    I am confused about getting a BMS for the above battery. I don't see any 230ah BMSs. I cant even find 200 ones for sale. MUST I get one, given I have an all in one (POWMr 5k LVM 48volt mppt hybrid 120 volt only) -will this not allow me to set cut-offs. I do have 2 8S cell monitors I can attach...
