After playing with my Bluetti AC300 / B300 / PV200 for the last 6 months, I have been using a PowerWerx wattmeter between the solar panels and the AC300 to check various panel outputs. It is a fine quick-check device. Now that I have scaled my panels to three, Bluetti PV350s, I can no longer...

From 2020 through early 2021, I purchased various LiFePO4 batteries, hoping to build backup batteries for times when the grid was down. Due to the world-wide logistics issues everyone is facing and my personal experience with the "One Apus" adventure, I decided to try something different and...

After reflecting on the current state of cell availability, wildly fluctuating prices and the potential pitfalls of overseas delivery (been there), I have decided to go in a different direction and make my "One Apus" EVE Cells available for those who still desire the DIY approach. Please PM me...

Since receiving my wayward and much delayed "One Apus" EVE Cells and having chronicled part of their Journey, I no longer need the 16-272Ah Lishen Cells (see Unboxing as well) I purchased as backup, should my EVE cells have been lost at sea. Both orders were placed through Michael's Group Buy...

If the following link can be believed, ONE APUS is motoring along at 17.5 knots and is due at Long Beach harbor on March 31, 2021. It spent 98 days, 2 hours at the Port of Kobe, having arrived there on December 8, 2020: ONE APUS As a member of the "Magnificent Seven" club, I welcome the news...

Now that the Federal 26% tax credit has been extended through the end of 2022 and having given up hope of ever seeing the IQ8 microinverter (yes, I know it is due out this year - maybe), I have decided to begin the research and implementation of an Enphase system while this tax credit is in...

I joined Indiegogo for the Bluetti AC200 last year and got tired of waiting, so I cancelled the order . . . but not before they shipped me the accessories that I had originally wanted. After resolving the cancellation, I am now the proud owner of the following accessories : 400W AC Power...

As I continue waiting for a battery shipment, I have been revisiting my overall plan for my battery builds. Since the beginning, I have wanted to make a modular, scalable, expandable and redundant battery banks. Using Lishen 272ah or EVE 280ah cells, I have decided to make 4 separate 12v (4S)...

I'm looking for a set of quality, pre-built power output cables for my RD6018w power supply. Hoping to find spade terminals on the supply end and M6 ring terminals on battery end. Any suppliers come to mind?

After lurking for a few months around the forum, I have learned much and seen the incredible knowledge, technical skills and impressive battery builds of forum members. These have largely been purpose-built and size-constrained, and thus "one-offs", primarily due to their locations (yachts...

As a new, first-time posting member, I was recently inspired by the "teardown" of the 12v 100Ah Battle Born battery by Will. Although this battery (when purchased) won't meet my goal, what is inside the case may work as part of a DIY build as it appears to be a high quality battery. Goal Build...
