What are these BMS' 100a and 320a models amperage rating referring to. The load/amps that you'll be pulling from the battery and thus through it?

You lost me here, just a little bit. My 80a MPPT A-I-O, the one you reviewed and own, and/or the Watchpower software does not have an "Absorption" setting that I can see...it has Bulk and Float. Does there terminology of a particular setting mean Absorption, but not say it directly? Also, if you...

I don't think when I began my solar energy journey I would have expected selecting a BMS to be one of the hardest parts, but it has been a long road of reading, watching and asking. My 32 cells are due to arrive soon and I have settled on the ANT BMS that Big Willie reviews here. It seems to...

Okay. Are you saying I could parallel all 32 and charge them to 3.65 (or 3.6) as one huge cell? Then I'd breakdown and series together my x4, 8 cell batteries.

I have 32 of the 280aH cells set to arrive any day now. I will be making x4 24v 280aH batteries with them. I have been planning on parallel balancing them in sets of 8 for as long as it takes, but they sent me a video before shipment showing all the cells reading 3.28/ea. One seemed to bounce...

We hear a lot about high and low temperature monitoring, but what is the recommendation of the highest high and lowest low we are shooting for? Or even a known range we are shooting for...is there a chart out there? Sometimes I hear that you will damage the cells if the are CHARGED at or below...

Thanks for that.

Thank you. (y)

Thanks. Do you know what the criteria is for determining what size fuse you need? What specs your looking at on your system?

I am about to get the 280aH cells to make my 24v batteries with, and I ordered the marine fuse block and some fuses. My question is, is it bad possible or bad to put a larger fuse on your system than is necessary? I have four separate arrays and systems using 80a/60a MPPT All-in-one units. One...

They will be powering 4 separate systems. Each tiny house will have it's own All-in-one MPPT - 1500w (or more) 24v panels - 24v 280aH Most of the BMS' the guys recommend seem to be super expensive or super difficult or don't show me the individual cell readings or don't have an 8s version. Can't...

I will soon be in a similar testing-but-don't-NEED-it phase soon and I'm sure your test results will be extremely helpful. I remember Will posting that...have you tried those figures? Ultimately my systems will be crucial, though, and I need them to perform as expected. They will be powering...

Let's choose unity and kindness guys. Often times, it's just a tone or phrase choice that changes a good vibe to aggressive. The world has more than enough of that already. We are all interested in solar energy...that is, we want to behave differently to and healthier to our environment, than...

I wasn't required to show any form of ID. Amy just ran it and it went through fine.

I have 32 of these cells due to arrive shortly. I will have one 24v set up like your most recent test (8S2P) and two others like your former tests (8 in Series). I really appreciate all of your data recording and time posting these tests in the forum. Question... Is there a particular top...

Does anyone know if Battery Hookup ever got in any of their BMS in an 8s option for 8 cell, 24v batteries? I can't find anything out there but that conversation was some time ago and it seemed the 8s option was on the horizon at the time. If not, any quick ecommendation on the most affordable...

Forgive me for being ridiculous, but I'm constantly learning new deep details from you guys (or lingo). What is a common port BMS. I'm still trying to understand which would be best for my 24v AIO systems and 280aH EVE (or not, who knows) cells.

Which BMS are you using with your 280aH's? How come a BattGo as well?

Look forward to seeing the second set of results and your ultimate conclusions, findings and settings.

Holy smokes! Wow.

My array is x9, 250w, 37.6v, 8.26a each panel...wired three in series, and those 3 series in parallel, totalling 2.25kw, 113v, 24.8a. It is an 2000w 80a dc 60a ac SSC, 3000w inverter.

Okay, I see what your doing here. So 6awg gets my voltage back to acceptable for use, but I'm still losing wattage. Which is okay if I have more than I need, which I can control with design. 4awg would be even better, losing like 60w. What is this 4/0, 2/0 wiring on these charts?

Yes two sets of cabins. Two close to the powerhouse, two far away. I was planning on running each cabin it's own wiring...each has its own array and SCC/inverter. Looking at decent pricing, and assuming I would use 10 awg regardless of the situation, it looks like it would only cost less than...

This is very helpful, maybe helping me avoid disaster. I could use 6awg for the main long run (500 ft) and maybe be okay? Yes, I considered using 2 separate power houses, 1 close to each set of cabins (more like 75ft one way instead of 250). But the sun is full and unshaded for at least 6 hours...

I'm sorry, but I'm s a bit confused. For my setup, my full circle distance between my array and SCC/Inverter will be 50 to 60 ft. The SSC/Inverter and battery bank will be 6 ft or less round trip. Now... the distance between the Inverter and the cabin, the AC load, will vary but the longest...
