Potentially, true. But I have not seen this in my configuration yet, mostly below 50A. Been driving around with the battery for a while now and the alternator is working fine and I don't see high amps. But I'm slowly getting to the point considering a DC DC to protect the battery. A few...

Battery behaves perfectly normal again. Have to say that's some good support and things you can do these days. Someone from the other side of the world is remotely fixing the battery in my RV via the Bluetooth connection on my phone via their app. Modern technology continues to amaze

Was like 12.6V Now it's back to 13.4V The battery is charging, and seems to be behaving normal Temperature readings are normal again - 26C both BMS and Battery sensor Will see tomorrow if everything is fine again.

The support responded very quickly within hours and we setup a time for them to remote into the BMS and have a engineer check it out. I needed to bind the their app to the battery so they could access it through the bluetooth code. Now the temperature values are looking normal again and both...

On the Terminals the voltage is about 6V Yet since the Bluetooth BMS shows that it has disconnected the output because of high temperature - not sure what to make of it. https://a.co/d/4QHhLkf It is complete battery - nothing I put together, and I can not get to sensor without cutting it...

My assumption as well. Nothing to disable a temp sensor I can see in the BAT-BMS app. Any other Android Apps to recommend which may have more features?

I had my RV sitting the last days and it was charging with a 100W panel and LFP charging profile. So today I came into the RV everything dead. - So I pulled up the Bluetooth app and the BMS claims that the battery is at 90C and the Discharge MOS is disabled. A bit nervous I got a wrench...

I just replaced my clamps with the ones you suggested. Much better solution. Half of the clamps I used where bending. So would probably come loose eventually.

It's cement board over plywood. yes just 1/4 thick. Not heavym I needed a spacer, there is a molding piece at the trailer floor sticking out 1/4 thick. Which did prevent me from getting battery all the way against the wall. So I had two options. Adding another 1/4 plywood, or following the...

Panels are mounted, on Unistrut. Ended up just using 4. Will get another few when I know where I settle.

Got the battery mounted. After wrestling it upright I saw that bracket and was confident that it will not jump off as soon those 4 screws on the side are installed. I've put it on top of a 3/4 plywood to spread the load on the trailer floor. And added 1/4 thick cement board. It's not tall...

I only got a 100AH battery + the lead starter battery, so worst case it charges for 3-4h @ 30A then it should go into float / storage? The amount of redundancy I am slowly building in this Class A RV is borderline Prepper paranoid ;) I can charge the 12V: - Grid (Converter) - Generator...

That is actually a very good hint. True it's a long run and I think ground is going to the frame rail so even worse connections. My battery is all the way in front - and my converter 2/3 back. And it's close to the bed, when I would mount the IP22 in the front close to the battery - it...

Hello, I replaced my lead batteries with a 100AH LFP and now need to upgrade the converter/charger with something which speaks lithium and I don't have to watch it. Doing some research I found the Victron Energy Blue Smart IP22 30A - which has a lot of settings and looks like it should fit...

Yeah the weak point is probably the trailer roof rails to the walls. But those are welded, and are many. I think we should see a broken weld before the whole thing comes of. I bolted M8 through the roof trusses and put locking nuts underneath - so impossible to pull out. I think you drilled...

You are even more overkill with your construction then I am ;) I found M8 stainless steel spring nuts for the struts. But yeah, the bolt won't be the part which will fail in this construction. More likely the unistrut bends and opens up.

I like those much more. Solid hunk of metal and a skinnier.

I would assume M8 stainless steel screws? You remember the length? 50mm ? I used those: https://a.co/d/dB6VXps and some of them are bending. Not all of them. Might be just cheap material. Not 100% trusting those.

Hey i am currently mounting my panels and wanted to ask what torque values you used on the mid-clamp on the Unistrut? And which mid clamps? Mine start slightly bending when I use the 15NM the panel manufacturer recommends.

yeah I don't want to suspend it. Just securing from tipping over in a bouncy trailer. I can see - since it is only hanging on the wall bracket - in case it gets airborne - it would clip out. Have to take the covers of and see if there are any screw holes at the back where I can prevent it...

worst case the BMS shuts you down, Not sure how often you start your generator - but for me it's like every couple of weeks - so I am not worried about longevity of the battery.

those amps are always related to lead batteries which drop in voltage (8-10V) quite a bit when cranking. LFP stays much more stable - thus need less cranking camps A starter has a total amount of Power in Watt - the highest I saw for the Onan 5500 was 350 CCA and depending on the model as...

Yes, I am starting my 2002 Onan 5500 from a single 100AH 12v LFP battery with 100A BMS which supports 200A for 5 seconds. So I just be mindful when it does not start right away to stop and wait. On the Bluetooth BMS it usually stays under 100A for cranking. You might just want to get a...

absolutely the battery will be sitting on the floor - the wall bracket is only to keep it from toppling over. Interesting, I have to see E-track fits somewhere with the bracket. That is a good simple idea, I have some 3/4 ply leftover from a different project which would spread the load over a...

sorry, not sure what you mean with sit it on the floor- it designed to be used only upright. Yes the 6000XP should go right above

Hello, I have a cargo trailer with many nice solar panels and I bought a EG4 PowerPro WallMount. Which will be connected to a 6000XP Now need to figure out how to mount this heavy thing safely for one trip. The cargo trailer is used primary to support my move from one state to another and...

Thanks to warming climate many regions do not experience "winter" anymore.

define "full" define "empty" I usually do not use the upper part of the LFP curve - I cut my charger at a lower level - that will still charge the battery fully - just not as fast. Further I also stay out of the dropping part of the curve. My best guess is that I leave 10% on table in my...

Dishy is not cheap and hard to seal after cracked open. And from my solution to the 12v the efficiency gain is not that much anymore. Especially when using a long wire. 12v burnes up a lot of watt hours when running over 100ft vs the 48v the system is operating now. The boondocker DC is plug n...

It looks like they used a PSU which can deal with worldwide voltage and frequency. So how I know Elons principles, it was about standardized parts throughout the production line. They can use the same router in EU and North America, Asia, no matter if 110v 60hz or 240v 50hz That kind broad...

The V2 Starlink router/mesh node is very inefficient, I mean like stupid bad. Needs like 30w without the dish plugged in. I replaced it with a DC- Power supply POE https://boondocker.io/products/dishy-rv-power-supply Starlink draws now 30-60W

lets cut all subsidies, including fossil fuels. Charge people per mile of road weight usage instead of adding a tax to gas. Let the market decide.

LFP batteries self discharge at 3-4% per year not at 60% per month as Hydrogen does. https://diminishedvalueofgeorgia.com/first-half-u-s-auto-sales-rankings-automakers-and-trends/ A Toy car is the 4th best selling car last year. With that growth rate my assumption is that it is going to be...

could not agree more. Ethanol is one of those big government well intended but with really bad consequences. Only old school OEMs, I honestly do not anticipate many of them living to the end of decade. They are already shrinking, Tesla, BYD, Geeley, Hyundai-Kia are building new lines...
