Sounds reasonable!

I'm baffled as to where these cables go. Does anyone know?? thnx

The manual that came with this is awful. It mentions nothing about the parallel protector setup at all. On the one side of the BMS there are ports for the parallel protector which is a 3-pin, but there are 2x 3-pin ports so which one? Also, there's an on/off switch which is a 2-pin port, here...

Nope. Figured I'd connect the inverter when I know charging is sorted.

It’s a Victron Bluesolar MPPT 150/35, and set to 24V. B to D yes, is 13.7V The weird thing is if I ignore the solar charger so I’m just measuring the positive on the battery bank, and the black negative cable coming out of the BMS I should get a reading of 26.4V. It’s reading 13.7. If I unplug...

I can’t figure out why my Dischg MOS doesn’t switch on. Daly support replied with ‘Open the discharge MOS’. ? The little icons on the home page do nothing when I tap them so don’t look like buttons, and the Dischg switch is on in parameter settings. Does anybody know how to get this switched on...

Heya, so I finally got a bluetooth module. I undid everything and rewired again in case I did something wrong. I get the same result. Here is the Bluetooth app results. I've just messaged the Chinese seller hoping they can shed some light but once the sale is done, and this was a while ago, they...

O'wait, you saying short B to P? Is that not dangerous?

A quick google tells me grow lights will charge solar panels but to what extent? It looks like this LED light uses 200W of power, and I take it that is per hour and pushes out 1200W of light. If this light is directed on 800W of panels would it be generating 800W per hour? So will there be 600W...

Thanks! Daly in China said the same thing switching on discharge MOS. I'm all over the place trying to solve this. I can't tap that, nothing happens with any of those little icons at the top tapping them so must be somewhere else in the app to activate this? When I go to the active balance tab...

Hi all, I’m struggling with something I’m hoping someone else has also had and resolved?? My BMS is not showing the full voltage of 26.4, and only 13.7? Multimeter A (negative) and B (positive) directly on the batteries shows 26.4V so the series connection is good. The white plug at C, if I...

Tell me about it. I originally got 16 batteries, plan was 2x 8 sets in parallel. One of the batteries was damaged in transit so that messed up one 24V bank so broke that down to a 12V with a couple spares and used it elsewhere. I charged this full bank with a smart battery charger until all 8...

Thanks so much for this. I’ll definitely make a plan for earthing. No utility power just a shed, we rent so must be movable. An extension runs into the kitchen so the plan is to run as many kitchen appliances as possible. It’s only the fridge that’s a concern as it runs all the time, well...

Thanks for the info MisterSandals, appreciated. Your tone suggests I’m ok-ish in setup so far, yet I’ve not allowed any flow of power until I know I can sleep safe. I did a quick google of compression/constraint cos I never heard of it before and my guess is its control over charge/discharge to...

Thanks! It’s 16x 200ah 3.2V batteries (8 in series for the 24 (well 25.6) and another 8 in parallel for bank). I went with the same size cables as came with the solar panels. Looks like 8awg. Then way thicker for the inverter. The cable that concerns me is the one running from the wind turbine...

How do I ground my charge controller via the little screw on the side? I contacted Victron directly about which charge controller I should go for according to the setup and I’m now pretty much ready to switch everything on – it’s just grounding the controller that’s left? I emailed them again...

I have 16x 3.2V lithium-ion batteries for a 24V system (8x in series gives about 25V, then another 8x in series to bank – so 2x series connected in parallel). On the one side I have 800W of solar coming in with its own controller connected to the ends of the top row of batteries, then on the...

Can I ask what size fuse you think I should get for the inverter to the battery? My research tells me it’s the power draw of the inverter which is 3000, divided by the voltage of the battery bank which is 24, which comes to 125? The audio fuse I used here, which I will replace, is 150A?
