    My 30A inverter/charger can only charge at 19A max

    I have built a 24 V Lifepo4 bank with eight 120Ah cells purchased directly from Aliexpress. I also purchased a 160A Daly BMS with a single charge/discharge terminal. This has been running flawlessly in my 29-foot camper trailer for the last 2 years, and it is awesome! The nominal capacity is...
