    After several cycles, I am getting 198Ah out of a single BYD pack I am happy with it
  • Post in thread: $72 ANT BMS: Current Report by BMS is only half of the actual current

    BYD Pack? I set Bulk charge to 28V and Flow Charge to 26.8V and that value does not alter any balancing behaviour, and I found 0.5V is the best so far for used packs. New Cell? I think 0.1V make sense. I am drawing 20A constantly (0.2C rate?) and charging via 1350W solar.
  • Post in thread: MPP LV2424 with two Battle Born 100ah:

    What's your application of the system? For less noisy and easier design, I think this one is better https://usa-mpp-solar.com/store/p_825597/free-shipping-to-lower-48-pip-812lv-ms-1kva-800w-110-120v-ac-12-v-dc-inverter-and-solar-and-utility-charge-controller- yes you can use your F-150 400W...
  • Post in thread: BYD 24v 5.63kwh for $799?

    It's the used 24V BYD battery wrapped in a custom package with BMS and protection installed. The BYD Pack is about $450 and the extra $350 is for the nice case + bms + protections For beginners, I think it's no brainer :D
  • Post in thread: BYD Pack + Ant BMS + MPP Solar LV2424 + Battery Warmer in a Shed

    I did have the temp sensor issue, the seller told me to swap the wire and its all good now.
  • Post in thread: Trying to test the DC capacity test of DELTA1300

    Right now it's down to 1%, and I am reading 1203Wh, so you are right, waiting for the final data when it shuts off Correct, checking common efficiency value for step-down converter, its about 92% efficiency, taking that into the consideration, I do get 1307Wh. therefore I think the 1295Wh...

    Good luck with your build It does take a lot of time to learn but its worth it
  • Post in thread: $72 Bluetooth ANT BMS Software

  • Post in thread: $72 ANT BMS: Current Report by BMS is only half of the actual current

    Don't forget to update the values on your LV5048, set the battery type to User, and make sure the cut off voltage matches the BMS (Mine value is 0.5V lower than the cut-off set on BMS)
  • Post in thread: Prevent spark/damage when connecting battery

    oh yeah I do have those incandescent lights as well Just tried and it does work perfectly Thanks guys
  • Post in thread: TechDirect BYD BMS in pre-built units: Can anyone read this Chinese label?

    make sure turn off the pack via circuit breaker before unplugging the balance leaf.

  • Post in thread: Does anyone try to claim warranty of MPP Solar product?

    It turns out their email address is sales@usamppsolar.com The sales@usa-mpp-solar.com Ah they are sending me replacement USB board. I think I would come back and buy their product again for such great support
  • Post in thread: MPP Solar LV2424 - Utility connection has voltage when not backfeeding

    I have the green one as well, I measured the AC input plug, 0V (under load, battery is charging as well from solar)
  • Post in thread: Active Equalizer (Balancer) and BMS.

    I did try that, it seems generating resistor heating to reduce one cell under that voltage you set, I don’t think it’s active balancing Its similar to Batrium’s early balance feature, I currently set to 3.5V to get them top balanced
  • Post in thread: Need 12v 170ah LiFePO4 recommendation

    When two battleborn paralleled, they will be balanced on its own. Especially when you buy two together, they will be matched and paired and ready to go. No need to worry about anything, just connect
  • Post in thread: Renogy charge controllers?

    I have Rover 40A PG and used with my 230w x 6 panel + 8 of GC2 battery + BT module It works and the load port (20A limited) can be remotely controlled as well. however, it does not work well with solar system less than 80w of solar panel, PWN controller is better. I am using it in subzero...
  • Post in thread: BYD and BMS

    I have the same BMS as yours (Ant BMS) The 200mA Balance Current is too slow for this thing... and My pack has one cell about 0.063V out of balance. no idea how i should fix it...
  • Post in thread: BYD Pack + Ant BMS + MPP Solar LV2424 + Battery Warmer in a Shed

    Here is my just completed solar setup. Since LFP battery does not like sub-zero temperature, I added a lead acid battery warmer and it keeps the battery at 20C, considering add some thermo control relay to control that around 10C then cut-off MPP Solar LV2424 connected to Raspberry Pi for...
  • Post in thread: LiFePO4 heating pad for cold temperatures

    Amazon USA with prime shipping https://www.amazon.com/Electric-Heating-Clothes-Outdoor-Camping/dp/B07Y8C6XZ6/ It says on low settings it’s about 32C Since it’s power by usb, I think it would be easier to build and use Home Assistant to control It clams it’s also waterproof, probably it can...

    Can you help to the a pic of the full warranty sticker and the label of the battery package? Trying to see if I can find some info or software from alibaba
  • Post in thread: Always out of balance for my BYD 8S 220AH Pack? What to do?

    My pack currently has about 0.05V ~ 0.079V different between highest and lowest voltage of the cell the BMS is only able to balance it with 200mA current... What should I do? Active Balancer? Or just Charge to full and leave for a month to wait for it get balanced?
  • Post in thread: BYD 24V LiFePo4 Battery Modules

    My setup is a stationary solar storage, so that most of the time is less than 40A Which BMS are you using? My ANT BMS can do 100Amp no problem, but not for too long
  • Post in thread: 230VAC all-in-one + Step down converter -VS- 110VAC all-in-one?

    be aware in the custom settings, the battery cut off voltage is 20V as lowest, when grid available is 22V charging to 90% is about 24V for Tesla battery Tesla battery can go down to about 18.5V, recommend is 20% @ 19V so by using MPP, essentially you can only using <60% of the battery (about...
