@Don B. Cilly he is correct here, I have one so I'm familiar with it, so it is showing charge and if you are pulling a discharge you need to switch your cables around. When it shows discharge it will show negative -xx.xxv
Just make sure you buy the Victron from a reputable company as you can not go direct to Victron with any issues you end up having to go through whom you purchased through.
Thank you sir, Still in progress but have taken few months off on it due to other projects. I really need to get fired back up working on it.
More photos of it can be seen here https://www.timshelnut.com/Electronics/Other/Solar-Power-Generator-
Not sure why he was calibrating the shunt as I recall even in the literature that it did not need this mostly only if you use a different one. I do not plan to calibrate mine and will try to test its accuracy at some point. I hope not to have too many issues with setting this up when I get...
Im building something similar sounds like have 4 cells of the 280ah batteries will be connected as a 4S. Making this as a portable very universal charge station and to power my fridge when camping. I've yet decided on my SCC but I do have the Chargery BMS which I like having the external...
Oh how I am ready for another pack of batteries lol. Why so addicting? Get my solar Generator 90% completed and now I want to build an add on pack with the 302ah cells :p
Dont have much on the topic here but just to wish for everyone to be safe down there! Looks like hitting this weekend and up my way yet we will prob. not get anything from it.
Im currently working on something similar but have not decided on the inverter yet. I have stuff ordered still waiting on but most all my through panel ports I have and fuse panel. Photos here I need to update the gallery.
I've never really measured it I use it in the garage off and on for weeks before charging. Could play few hours at a time. I also have a G-boom when the original battery died I bought some 18650 holders with 2 ea. at 8v I wired this to it ran the wires to the outside it last a long long while.
So I've received mine today not sure when I'll get to do any testing but I'm pleased with just cosmetics right now of them. Probably mount them to coroplast and have it fold to the size on one. Need to consider on how I need to wire them as well. Series prob be the way to go.
I think at that price range 55 ish or so would be awesome. I had found something while back I was watching on ebay that was around 79 If I recall correctly.
For the curious, I believe the retail prices will be: DON'T QUOTE ME ON THAT OK !
DCC-100HB 45 USD
DCC-200HB 65 USD
DCC-300HB 85 USD
DCC-600HB 175 USD
Steve,
Yeah but the 3M VHB tape will have it off of the surface allowing air flow and it will be in a 3D printed box with vent for the fan...
I get more power out of my regular 100w panel than my 3 x 100w flexible panels. But as others commented these should be 300 total but I would not even expect half of that from them.
Boondox looking good!!!
I cant wait to get mine up and going will need it in few months, just too many other projects going on and training. Currently Tig welding battery tray now to get it in the Pelican case. Pics
This is absolutely awesomeness!! I hope to have a van in the near future and had thought about some batteries under the seat. Something I have to look forward too!! Great Job!
I don't have any input but just love the massive solar farm on that beast lol. I would end up trimming around the sides with some plastic piece with vents for cosmetics really other than that I think a fairing would be good to have on the front.
I am very very close to getting one yet I will be researching them. I really dont have the budget for one at the moment though waiting for some of this world shut down to change and go in a better direction. Give me time to look around.
This would be a good one but since mine will be outdoors It fits perfect in a Pelican 1020 micro case. I have mine in one which the buzzer will fit. I will be mounting my buzzer in different location though and keeping LED at the display.
Did you post anything about this Solar Generator? I have built one and now want to use some of these cells as a add on battery for my solar generator. Which would give me 7kw + of power. :)
More than likely it is too good to be true and one thing that already throws it off is they are listing it as 420ah and in the photos the label shows 400ah. It magically gets additional 20ah from somewhere.
