If you test with normal breakers, do they not trip?

Anyone else still having problem with the Growatt site energy trend chart showing yesterday's graph? I emailed them about this still not working (for me at least). They only responded with "thanks for feedback". Also mentioned to them that users would like to see a battery voltage graphic on...

brilliant thx!

I'm looking for a source for the end connectors that are on the cable for JBD/Overill BMS Bluetooth module. Any info would be appreciated. Also the wire gauge of the cable. I'd like to extend the cable or make my own longer cable. Thanks!

Will be interesting to see the effects of prolonged exposure to elements...snow/ice/rain/humidity/cold/heat//UV/wind/etc. Please keep us updated on that aspect. Very cool project.

Could not see any of the pics posted by the OP in this thread.

I mean an out-building enclosure for those blue enclosures. Nevermind though. He's set on leaving them exposed.

Okay. Even in Maine weather you feel no enclosure is necessary? How low do temps get there and how high will the snow get?

Is this system going in an out building (shed) that's temp controlled?

Was the cost the utility company wanted to bring service ever mentioned in this thread?

I have no guess about what's causing the noise, but I have a 14s JBD and it is silent.

If I were to do the copper wire method of connecting/balancing cells, I'd probably use a length of ground wire from a romex cable instead of the way the guy in the video twisted that smaller wire. Also, I'd cover the positive terminals with something when connecting the negatives and vice...

Late probably, but you mentioned in the OP you broke the set into 2 batches due to not having enough bus bars. Watch how this guy does it...

I guess all those poor people they refer to were dying in fires.

speaking of "the first outlet"... When locating first outlet in a circuit (to change to fault-protected type, etc), I thought this video shows an interesting method (starting at about 5min in)... But then, rather than buying such an expensive device as that Ideal circuit analyzer, I thought...
