    ANT BMS shows clearly wrong state of charge

    I'm having the same issue. Keen to find a solution too

    24v BMS with a charge rating > 100 ?

    Hey Barry , that's interesting. I want to charge up to around 75 amps with my ANT bms, did you have to change any parameters? or have you noticed any excess heat or issues when charging with the higher current? I'm currently limiting the output from my victron SCC to 50amps so as to not exceed...

    Powland? 3.5kw 24v thoughts?

    Hey guys thinking of upgrading my 2400w to this 3500w powland. Anyone used one of these? Being used on a lifepo4 bank. Cheers!

    EVE 280Ah Lifepo4

    I Agree, something is amiss here. 3000 newtons is an incredible amount of force. I would absolutely never compress my cells to that spec.

    Any third-party software available for MPP solar systems?

    Hey Bud, Any luck with getting Watchpower to work on the Mac? I'm having the same connection issue.

    Hi Steve, yes. Thanks. I actually forgot to put the shunt in. I have a victron smartshunt, it's connects directly to the SCC to help adjust the charging algorithm. It also has a temp sensor.

    The battery protect is just for the ELV load

    Hi All , Here's My Tiny House System. Just wondering if you guys could cast your eyes over this, let me know if I'm missing anything? Cheers!

    What do you think?...7200Wh solar / DIY lifepo4 setup

    Pretty sure, you can get it through eBay

    Cells are from Amy from xuba. Though they're taking forever to get here. They're stuck in customs I think

    Yep, have read that re. Low voltage disconnect. Is why I mentioned to have it only on the ELV setup (24v, 12v etc). The victron has a better cutoff voltage than my bms, and reconnecting is automatic. I'm more comfortable with Victron reliability than the bms. going to use the mpp solar 2400w...

    Sorry my bad, your mppt can take 100v

    Also, your panels are hooked up in series, which totals 48v, that'll cook your system.

    Hey bud, it's a good idea getting the larger batteries, they're good value. Your calculations are based on 100% depletion. When you probably shouldn't go past 85% if you want decent longevity, going too low on the lifepo4 is a death sentence. This is why it's important to use the victron battery...
