Inspected and tested before shipping, and with a decent warranty. You can get the "same" BMS from other sources, but there are multiple versions that are very similar, and if you order from Alixxx and don't get what you expect or it fails you are SOL. Even being inflated, Overkill solar isn't...

Have you changed any of the values in the Overkill? IIRC, the default values are on the high side, well over 3.65V per cell. The reasoning being that the BMS should not cut off charging, the charge controller should. So only if the charging had a malfunction would the BMS disconnect. At the...

I can relate my personal experience, in a high amperage no vibration installation. One of my first electronic tech jobs, I was maintaining high powered Television transmitters. The transmitter had a total of ten 50A DC supplies. Very simple, just a transformer, large rectifier, and some filter...

I get that. But in a given boat, in fact many boats, there may not be a need for more than 30A (a typical dcdc charger to the start battery) So instead of spending extra money on a a more complicated electodaucus, you can choose something else. That's why you evaluate your needs first, then...

That video is a great example. AI only does what it is told, and people are learning how to do that.
