  • Sourcing a few panels

    I put together a 24v lifepo4 bank with 304ah cells about a month ago. Victron 24/3000. I have it currently functioning as a UPS for my server rack, fridge, and tankless propane water heater. So now the next progression would be to toss a few panels in and utilize the batteries a bit more. As is...
  • Faulty Smart Shunt?

    My Smartshunt has been working fine for a little over two weeks. I noticed sometime yesterday it began reporting widely varying voltages as seen below. This is on a 24V system and at no point are there voltages over what the lifepo4 cells should see in series. I have confirmed with my multimeter...

    I have 8 EVE 304ah cells that I am in the process of pre-charging prior to top balance with a bench supply @ 3.6V, hovering around 7A with 14ga wire/ring terminals. I've tried to read all I can about this process. I understand it is going to take a while. I have perused the up in smoke section...

Once I expand my lifepo4 bank, I'll be powering 18kwh/constant 750watts or so per day (but may expand to more...
