I have been considering building or purchasing an off-grid solar system for charging two plug-in hybrid vehicles for some time now and the recently announced Chinese tariffs on panels, batteries, etc. has prompted me to start researching the matter (hopefully I have time before they are...

I have a 10A max power supply that is also 30V max. I just discharged my 380Ah, 12V, 2P4S configured LiFePO4 battery and I am in the process of charging it with the power supply. I do not want to charge with any more than 6A, as I do not want to take a chance of burning out the power supply...

I have 8, 3.2V, 190Ah prismatic cells that I want to configure as shown below (2P4S): Can I use my ISDT BatteryGO BG-8S to monitor/balance each of the 8 cells, or in this configuration can I only attach leads to one cell in each of the 4 parallel pairs? Thanks!

1. Received 8, new 190Ah BLS cells back in April that will eventually be used to construct 2, 12-volt, 190Ah batteries that will be connected in parallel (4S2P configuration). 2. Voltages upon arrival of the cells were all either 3.261 or 3.260. 3. Initially connected the 8 cells in series...

I have 8, new, 3.2V, 190Ah cells I received a few weeks ago and I want to start "playing" with them to become more familiar with how they charge, discharge, etc. My eventual goal is to construct 2, 4s batteries and wire them in parallel for a 12V, 380 Ah system. The cells were at 3.260 or...

1. Purchased 8, 190Ah cells to construct 2, 12-volt, 190Ah batteries that will be connected in parallel (4S2P configuration). 2. Initial voltages of the cells measured today were (box 1 - 3.261, 3.260, 3.260 and 3.260) and (box 2 - 3.261, 3.260, 3.260 and 3.261). 3. Batteries will NOT be...

Please check out the below Chargery BMS8T wiring diagram for a 12v, 4s2p battery set-up. I have a few questions: 1.) I'm assuming the heading at the top should read "4s2p 8cells connection with 2 BMS8T"? 2.) Should wires 1+ through 4+ from 1# BMS8T all go to the positive poles on the first...

I am considering purchasing a Bioenno Power 14.6V, 20A AC-to-DC Charger 12V LFP LiFePO4 as shown here: https://www.amazon.com/Bioenno-Power-Alligator-Batteries-BPC-1520C/dp/B008I7N29I/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=actodc+lifepo4+12v+battery+charger&qid=1582673426&sr=8-4#customerReviews Anyone use this...

So I took the plunge yesterday and clicked "Buy" on 8, 3.2V, 190Ah cells for my campervan.....let the fun begin! Been researching cell balancers most of the morning and I believe I saw this one somewhere on Will's website...

Has anyone downloaded the Apple App (called Xiaoxiang BMS) for the above BMS and successfully used it with your iPhone? Thanks!

Electrical rookie here! I am building a campervan and considering purchasing the 3.2V, 190Ah cells that Will and others have recommended. If I do so, I will construct a 12.8V, 190Ah battery to use as a house battery. I plan on having a 2000-2200 watt inverter but the maximum load on it at any...

Never thought I would build my own LiFePO4 batteries but after viewing several of Will's videos and additional research, I have gained the confidence to take the plunge! I am building a campervan and considering purchasing 8 of the 3.2V, 190Ah cells that Will and others have recommended. If I do...
