    How to connect the "black" style JK-BMS with the short B- and P- leads?

    I'd just trim the insulator back a little bit.

    How to connect the "black" style JK-BMS with the short B- and P- leads?

    Do not ask me how long I've been "building" my first battery. Of course, it might make you feel better. And me worse! I've had my cells for 2 years....

    When do you get rid of your packaging?

    That's the case most times, but I've run into a couple exceptions. 1) Crucial used to require the original packaging for their 2.5" SSDs because they put some information on the package and not on the SSD itself. If you didn't have the box, no warranty for you, because you don't have that...

    PCBs don't crimp well, the fiberglass isn't very happy when you do that ;)

    How to create quick disconnect for parallel 48V batteries in golf cart straight to AIO inverter as battery storage?

    The issue I see is how angry will the AIO get when you yank the plug to the battery?

    Solar panels cause bad weather.

    I know a guy who hates Murphy's Law because he said he was always blamed for everything that went wrong, and he had no one to blame but himself.

    When I had an electric heater a brand new one just filled with cold water was hot enough for a shower in 30 minutes. Seemed fast enough for me.

    Can I Be My Own Grid?

    Your EG4 18kpv can do AC Coupling I'm pretty darn sure. But you have to set it up correctly.

    Midnight solar DC. Breakers

    Did the breaker somehow end up with poor internal contact, leading to heat, voltage drop, then thermal trip?

    Solar for poor people?

    It makes no sense but it spends dollars!

    Tax Credit: Inspection required? Claimed once?

    My primary grid tied install was all permitted but no inspector showed up to look at it. I just don't think my AHJ cares all that much. Sure hope IRS only cares about the receipt and not the AHJ sign-off!
