The load is best just for a relay to switch other loads. I'm sure the manual will have the max load it can support, generally LED lights, computer vans etc are ok direct to the load.

I enjoy his stuff, but yes we are watching his journey and certain understandings "click" or previously feigned ignorance for youtube value I'm not sure - but I do enjoy watching the journey; and the assumed long term goal of running his tesla off his off grid setup - all whilst ignoring the...

EMTB battery is 500-700wh - thats not going to change if you charge it faster or slower. Up the battery bank or solar is the only thing that is going to make a difference even if that is not what you want to hear.

I run 5000w from 12v, but from 2 inverters, a 3000w and a 2000w. 10kw seems a bit excessive but I am looking at a 5kw single 3rd inverter for another project so between the 3 I would have 10kw ...... LiFEPO4 pack will deliver upto 900A so that's OK however I would not use all 3 maxxed at the...

I've an IP22 and 30A from the generator is slow (500w use of a 2.7kw generator in my case) so I bought a Victron Multiplus inverter charger, 80A of charging - great settings within the box to tell it its connected to a generator rather than grid, select maximum current the genny can give and a...

Welcome :) Also in the UK, but a bit more north.

So I'm 18 months on from hitting the point where Will's video's gave me enough confidence to build my own 12kwh pack and triple my solar and do MUCH more with solar. This forum and the real world success's people were having also played a major part in me attempting this - so thank you. As well...

Did manage to run a MTB event on solar - quite easily in fact :)

I just checking back in here - thanks for feedback. Certainly my BMS situation was only meant to be a stop-gap, however well it works (other than balancing). I cant see why having 6P would be bad for balance, other than just taking a long time to top balance given the fixed amount of bleed off...

I've got the Kisae ASBO version, with upto 45v panel VOC. Only one I could find with a decent panel voltage.

I found a screeny of my initial top-balance, 28th April 2020 - just for completeness/comparison

Yeah, DC side through 100A BMS, and charging. Just the inverter is not through BMS - as 100A BMS and inverter pulls almost 200A loads

Oh i had full intention of a proper top balance, and with hindsight could have used my time parked up at a mates better - doing a charge closer to full as a 12v battery, then the top balance, rather than from new voltage to top in one go was what i should have done. It might have been a 10A...

charging is via BMS And no, it wont, but checked it all summer when it was hardly under 50% - and gave it a bottom balance test in late September before there was that risk. No doubt over time, but the system isnt "finished" Finances been especially rough this year - what upgrades i did was a...

That's the exact opposite of me, my washing machine errors on generator (dont think it responds fast enough) but will run off the inverter no problem. Genny : Clark 2600w Inverter : Giandel 3000/6000 Washer : Candy 4Kg
