Hi Folks, I have a decent sized solar setup with DIY LiFePO4 and understand the basics however I'm struggling with a few concepts I've seen within the wind/micro hydro generation space and was hoping someone could clear up my understandings/confusion. The installations I've seen online...

Thanks for the help! In case anyone stumbles upon this later. @sunshine_eggo's advice was spot on. Random aside: My battery shelf is essentially very oversized busbars and the second option in the above diagrams. However the original issue I had was solved by a combination of things. TLDR...

Thanks for the reply. I'll give longer balance a go next sunny day (Based in UK so could be awhile...), hopefully that's the culprit. Rather than the new pack being notable worse than the old. I'm pretty sure I've checked it with volt meter as well but I'll double check in the morning as most...

Hi Folks, I have just added a second 48v 16s LiFePO4 pack to be battery cabinet. (Originally purchased the first 16s last year). Both packs "Non EV grade" which may be the reason for the behavior I'm seeing. Both JK BMS but new pack is 200a the older is 150a. I added the new pack and full...

Hi Folks, I'm looking for some thermal insulation material advice. Currently building a battery storage cabinet for 4x 16s Batteries. I live in UK, so reasonable temps most of the year but November -> March and the battery is stored in an uninsulated shed so there's likely below freezing...

Thanks both, I'll check out that article. @Steve_S I couldn't spot the section of shelving, is that the right link or has that portion yet to be released? I can see the portion on elevation and temperature differences. However I was more concerned with the connections/resistance in a stacked...

Hi Folks. I currently have 1 48v 304aH LiFePo4 and I'm looking to expand this to 3. However I'm struggling to plan out a clean/effective storage shelving system for them. (Before someone says, each will have overcurrent protections and disconnect per battery on shelf) My main concern is...
