    Inverter and BMS Thoughts/Recommendations

    Thanks Steve. As a noob, this is why I almost found out the hard way to run my thoughts through this forum. Quick question, what is difference between common port and separate port? And which is appropriate for my 4 cell configuration?

    Inverter and BMS Thoughts/Recommendations

    Hello folks, Well the four 280AH cells are ordered and shipped. So while waiting, I figure its not to soon to now investigate and order the BMS and inverter. I'm thinking 2000 watt constant/4000 watt peak pure sine wave inverter. So doing the math, 2000w/12v=166Amp. This is my first build...

    Thanks for your feedback. So is the voltage being higher not a good thing? If so, what is the consequence?

    WOW...I am floored by the exceptional customer service so for from Xuba. I asked just a couple ours ago if my cell had shipped.

    I wish that did it. I did contact the vendor, and they responded "check your email". I did check my email, and that is where they wanted me to submit pics of my picture ID and Credit Card. Why do they need that????? I will not send that. I have never been requested to that for anything in...

    Four 200AH cells Vs. Eight 100AH cells

    Appreciate comments from both of you. Yes, when I was working in the defense industry, we did ALL we could to preclude SPFs. At the same token, the technology has advanced and minimized the risks of failure. Thanks for both posts.

    Thank you. I was thinking the same as far as fewer cells equals less components to go wrong.

    Four 200AH cells Vs. Eight 100AH cells

    Hi Folks, My goal is a single 200AH capacity LiFePO4 4-cell battery pack. I am seeing 200AH prismatic cells on AliExpress at reasonable prices. Is there a downside to using single 4-cell 200AH battery pack, rather putting two 100AH 4-cell packs in parallel? Specs are comparable between 100AH...
