Sorry for the late reply It was Shenzhen Luyuan Technology Co., Ltd https://szluyuan.en.alibaba.com/ Fantastic service Everything as advertised Zero complaints.

I have both Victron AND Midnite gear onboard. Do I win a prize?

Decided to go the DC to DC chargers for a few reasons 1) Ben Sterling from Sterling UK got back to me within hours, talked me through it and assured me that a 36si @105 amps will run 70amps of chargers without cooking the alt - 70% load is what the target is and, in reality, what the wakespeed...

I got mine on Facebook marketplace Commercial vessel took them off new engine and replaced with bigger units before boat was launched.

So, my choices will be: Wakespeed vs DC - DC charger My concern with the oft touted DC - DC charger is 2 x 35 amp (Sterling for $350 each) chargers pulling from the starts will still be loading up the alt enough to cook it.

I'll jump in on this thread vs opening a new one. I am about to try the alt > lifepo4 charging route I tried it before with a large AGM bank but cooked the alt so gave up on it until now We are an ex trawler, big slow spinning motor, often doing 6+ hour runs We never, ever go into marinas so...

And all appears normal again Genset run this morning and solar finish and @ 11:30am all batts reading 100%. Must have been a BMS brain fart.

Victron battery monitor is showing overall battery SOC is 77.4% and down -200ah from 840ah Guessing the app/BMS needs a bit of time to recalibrate itself Been so long since I needed to do anything I've forgotten the quirks found in the early days.

Yep, just went down below and visually checked. Shot everything with laser thermometer and tested voltage on all cells. All same and all seemed good. Unplugged BMS harness, blue lights off and reconnected. Blue lights on Pic of reading now on app for batt A Note SOC Temp at batt with laser...

Hi, a year or so ago we bought a batch of Eve280 A grade matched and batched cells from one of the recommended suppliers here. Made 3 X 24v batteries connected as a single 840ah bank Did it all by the book, top balanced, noalox, etc etc and they have been trouble free appart from Battery A...

Perhaps it's just one of those weird things. If I open the app on tablet vs phone it doesn't have a record of it but does have a record of the same on a different battery at another time. Weird.

Cell charge set limit is a bit higher. Details in pics

Hi, just noticed today that I had an overcurrent alert for 3.362v on a bank of 8 x lf280k cells. Any idea as to what's going on here? Thanks in advance

Really? Every one of my A Grade EVE 280 was over 280, most more like 290.

Close enough Victron says 73% Batts say 71% I can live with that and thank for the help.
