    Solar panel mixing help

    Sorry for such a late reply but I had a few things that reminded me of the post. I got everything set up and have since since seen 2600-2800watts coming in and that was amazing with the 2400expected amount. But I wanted to not something odd, I've been getting lately around 3100-3200watts from...

    Solar panel mixing help

    Shaaaaweeet 14% loss on 2440 array is still better than a 1500 array yeehaw Yeah my whole problem was if the difference in wattage mattered. I had read somewhere that as long as the voltage was similar it didnt matter but just wasn't sure. And thankyou for the clarification of VMP gives me a...

    Solar panel mixing help

    Oooooooohhhkkk Got a little shit stew to brew... lol I currently have a solar array of 5s3p made with renogy 100watt panels. I just received 6 240 panels. All renogy panels are model 100D SS Though the most recent string of 5 have different stats than the other 2 strings. Stats are as...

    Has anyone else seen or reviewed the new 15kwh server rack from Docan ?

    Has anyone seen this it's 2600$ from the Texas warehouse or 2300$ from China + freight. Sounds a bit to good to be true but it's from Amy at Docan It would be the best priced server rack on the market out beating self built at the price...

    Daly BMS problems... I think

    Yeah the app is quite detailed I've come across posts that day the older version gives even more control just not as pretty. Yeah the voltage seems to have regulated just need this snow to go away so a good inrush of charge comes in and I can see wether cell 15 goes higher than the rest. I...

    Daly BMS problems... I think

    Are there any batteries out there expected to be used to 100% daily ? Possible yes but expected and depended on to ? I don't see the point of that. All advice is to get a larger bank in that case. Down to 80% though with that kind of use after 13yrs is crazy good compared to SLA which for me...

    Yeah but if you're only cycling about 40% of your battery a day which is a lot in my case Ill use at most 10% a day, you'll get over 10000 cycles and at my use over 100,000 cycles. But even if you cycle every day 5000 times your battery's capacity will only drop 20-30% so a 15kw system will...

    Why 10yrs?? Are we just doubling AGM expectancy and if it lasts longer saying Yayyyy?? I thought it was more in the realm of "you'll die before they go"

    I do not agree with that last part. There is a significant monetary advantage to diy batteries still. The EG4 is 1500 offering 5kw purchase 3 to get 15kw at 4500$ +shipping freight + an inverter/charge controller or hybrid + the panels if you don't have enough or any. It'll run you at least...

    Daly BMS problems... I think

    So I let the overkill balancer work when it wasn't charging and now my cells look balanced but is that just the cells "resting" technically? Yes the android app lets me change the numerical values of each setting see pic posted I don't have and it didn't come with USB attachment but the...

    Daly BMS problems... I think

    So I found this in Appendix C of the overkill BMS manual "If the pack is already assembled in series, and you are unable or unwilling to start over, you can still balance it with the regulated power supply. ● Connect a charger to the battery with the BMS installed normally. (charger positive to...

    Daly BMS problems... I think

    Here's my only problem and why I really avoided top balancing even though I bought the recommended 10amp charger on here. I don't have shore power I'm completely off grid...I have a 6500watt predator gene but other than that the SLA batts I have it should be charge those then use them with...
