    BMS Troubleshooting

    I bought the Daly 80 A-200A BMS (new) for my system, to be sure it was compatible with the LifePo4 12V 200 aH battery I bought from the same manufacturer -- "BLS Battery Official Store". I built my system and tested it out and everything worked perfect. Since we weren't yet ready to take our...

    8 Gauge wire from panels for EPEVER MPPT?

    I have the EPEVER MPPT Tracer4210an (40Amp). I am using 6 gauge wire for the whole board. The manual says that the Battery wire size specified is 16mm2/6AWG. I have 2 100Watt panels that came with 8AWG wire. Will it overheat or hurt the MPPT if I use 8 gauge wire from the panels to the MPPT?

    BMS negative terminals P- and C-

    I have a Daly BMS 200A. I know the B- goes to the negative terminal of the battery, but not sure where the P- goes. Do I connect it to my negative bus bar? That would supply a negative to all the loads... There is a terminal in the middle, which I assume is what is called the C-. I'm going to...

    Series or Parallel? -- that is the question.

    I guess everyone has seen this question: Should I wire my panels in series or parallel? I have 2 12V 100W panels and a 12V 200Ah LiFePo4 battery. The Solar charge controller is a 40 amp MPPT. What is the best way to hook them up?

    Over-Discharge Protection

    The MPPT doc says it has over-discharge protection. Do you still need a battery protect module to keep it from over-discharging?

    Trailer converter.

    My trailer came with a 120VAC converter (I think rated at 35 amps) that charged a 12V lead acid battery. Is it a bad idea to charge my Lithium 12V 200Ah battery with the original converter that came with the trailer? (Of course, that would only be for initial charges, since I have solar panels.)...

    Angle Mounts for Solar Panels

    I'm getting ready to mount my panels on top of my rig. Thinking about putting on a angle mount to take more advantage of the sun. Question: Does changing the angle of the panels make enough difference to justify having that kind of mount on top of the trailer? On YouTube I see that some people...
