  • Post in thread: Xuba 280ah Sea Shipping?

    Well great news, hopefully. Immediately after posting this I tried again and it was declined, but in a different way (it actually said 'declined by bank') Got a text from my bank, told them it was me and next try it went through.

    Nevermind, figured it out I think. Voltage difference accounts for difference in Ah in a series vs parallel setup. Hopefully that's right, sorry for the sidetrack.
  • Post in thread: Received my BLS 190Ah LiFePO4 Cells this Week,.....now What?

    Thanks! That makes sense and answers my original question (which you had already answered I was just confused). I read through the thread again, So, essentially absorption/boost is the voltage it's going to charge to... there doesn't need to be a bulk charge voltage setting for lifepo4 since...
  • Post in thread: Xuba 280ah Sea Shipping?

    I was pulling the trigger on these today and my visa card won't go through on alibaba. I'm super bummed and had to vent. Anyone dealt with this? I got no one else to ask.
  • Post in thread: Received my BLS 190Ah LiFePO4 Cells this Week,.....now What?

    Great thread it has brought up a question for me regarding charge controller settings. If your charging limit voltage is less than your boost voltage, does that mean you never go into boost mode, or does that mean once your charge limit voltage is reached it then goes into boost charging...
  • Post in thread: Received my BLS 190Ah LiFePO4 Cells this Week,.....now What?

    At exactly 1:00 in the video below it shows him setting the charge limit voltage. I assumed this was the bulk charge voltage (should have mentioned that), then it went into boost (absorption). I WAS basically wondering if they should be related directly or independently. I was under the...
  • Post in thread: Xuba Alibaba.com payment?

    I would just try again later. I had problems, but then I tried the next day and it worked.
  • Post in thread: Why isn’t the Victron Battery Protect usable with a solar system?

    I have no experience with it, but some threads suggest the solar panel connection maybe isn't that big of a concern with most SCC's. As for the Victron battery protect, certainly people have and are still using it with inverters? Anyone? Have they all blown up? Obviously Victron has good...
  • Post in thread: Xuba 280ah Sea Shipping?

    Yeah, I do think it's alibaba declining the sale as opposed to my card company. Out of the two cards I tried one did have the option to contest. I'm super apprehensive to send in a pic of my ID. I also really want this battery pack. I will try their support first, thanks for the info.
  • Post in thread: Bottom Balance video

    Can someone please point me to the video where Will actually shows bottom balancing lifepo4 cells? He talks about and shows the resistor setup he uses, voltages etc. I cannot seem to find it and I would like to make sure I watch it before I start.
  • Post in thread: Top Balancing

    If that's the case then I'm really confused. All the videos you seem him put together 4 cells labelled at (described as) 3.2v 100Ah, then he measures the capacity of the entire battery pack and always gets around 100Ah. I just assumed they rated capacity as a 12v pack, am I wrong?
