I have four Kilovault 180Ah AGM 12v batteries - two strings of 2 for 24 volts. I've been running them for about 9 months. Decided it might be good to add a battery balancer, so ordered the KiloVault BE24 balancer - one unit. Instructions come with the caution to charge the batteries to the...

I installed my solar system about 18 months ago and it has been working pretty well. I have the Conext SW, Classic 150, 6 Q-cell panels and 4 Kilovault AGM batteries. I have tried unsuccessfully to interface the Midnite Solar Status Panel software on my laptop with the Classic 150. I purchased...

I have two 100 Ah 4 volt Chins LifePo batteries and need to charge them safely from my Conext SW 4024 inverter. Each battery is rated for maximum continuous charging current of 50 amps. They are connected in parallel via bus bars. Do I set my inverter charge setting to 100 amps max? (I really...

I'm looking at purchasing two Chins 24v 100Ah LifePo batteries and noticed that the Ah capacity rating is based on a 5 hour rate (0.2C), compared with the typical 20 hour rate for lead acid. I came across something suggesting that with lithium, there really isn't much difference between C/5 and...

I'm new to LifePo. Looking to replace AGM batteries. I've discovered that my solar array and generator are both undersized for full charging of my AGM batteries. The panels are barely minimum for the BEST conditions. The generator only puts out 20 amps and I need 30. I'm doing a cost...

I am installing two 24v 100 Ah Chins LifePo batteries to replace an AGM battery bank. Each battery has its own internal BMS, but are not smart batteries (no blue tooth). I am connecting these to the e-panel with bus bars (rather than daisy chaining). I've been watching some videos about the...

I've been through the manual many times, but am not sure I'm interpreting the Classic 150 status output correctly. I have six 420W Q panels. Three series pair. Total rated output should be around 2500 watts at 48 volts DC going to the Classic. My battery bank and inverter are 24 volt. Today...

I have my two new Chins LifePo 24v, 100 Ah batteries installed and ready to make the final switch over from the AGM lead acid as soon as I have a sunny day to be able to top off the LifePo's. I didn't spend the extra $$ for the smart batteries, so I have no blue tooth or any other way to access...

My application is an off-grid home in Montana. 2500 watts solar panels; Conext SW 4024 inverter; Classic 150 solar charge controller. Batteries are four AGM 12v 180 Ah - two series pair in parallel for 24v, 360 Ah. The AGM's are near end of life and I'm strongly considering LifePo. I want to...

I'm trying to understand if the performance I'm getting from my batteries is normal, or if something is wrong. I turned my system on live about 18 months ago, the end of June 2021 and it has been running continuously since then. Fully off grid - no public power tie in. My house is a power...

I'm setting up a solar system and will power a 100 amp residential service panel through a transfer switch. I'm looking for the right 24v DC inverter (about 3000 watt pure sine wave) for this application. The output needs to be capable of being hardwired. Doesn't seem to be a lot of choices...
