Thanks for your help, was able to get the battery going again.

So looks like this is going to work. Not happy that I had to cut the case, but at least the battery is working again. As soon as I was above 11v I was able to connect.

Sounds good. Thanks

The new app from JBD. Unfortunately the "Control" section is locked and I can not enable charge/discharge. Opening is going to be a larger project since the battery is sealed, but I will go that route. Does the BMS need to be disconnected to charge the battery?

Not flowing when connected to the battery.

Actually checked the voltage at 2v on one battery and and 2.5v on the second battery at the main terminal. Have not opened up yet, but I could if necessary. Tried to jump with another battery, DC power supply and lithium charger. Any other options?

There is some sort of link. After updating the battery name it shows up on every device I try to connect to it. So it clearly has access to the battery or the name would not have updated and show on other phones. But you are right something is probably off with the Bluetooth. Have two...

I have a bench charger arriving today. Will try that. I have uninstalled, reinstalled and tried every phone tablet and Chromebook in the house. Using Android. Location turned on. Does anyone know if there is a way to access the control tab in the one app I can connect in? The one...

cant get to the cells. Purchased from Rebel Batteries. I may have to open up, but sealed right now.

overkill solar does not work. Checking with my son's old tablet to see if that does the trick.

Voltage is only 5v due to the fact that charge/discharge is turned off.

I can connect to the battery using the new JBD app (the one with the elephant). Was able to change the name which is recognized by the other apps so I know it is connecting. There is an authorize option on that app, I clicked that the other day, but no authorization yet. not sure if anyone...

Battery has power, I left it with 50 amps. I can c Battery has power. the new App for JDB has the "Control" tab locked. I can connect with that, however can not get to the control tab that has the battery on off switch. The old app will not connect... When I check their website, it says...

Have a Lithium Battery that was not in use during the winter and rather than remove from my Trailer I shut off using the app. Now that I am ready to use, I can't connect to the unit using my old app to turn the charge/discharge back on. There is a new app that was released, however I don't...

Appreciate all the responses. At least I feel like I have a good game plan now.

Also Not planning on using Ferrules, I know everyone has opinions on that as well. Would that change the direction you would go in? have read about too many issues with using those.

it is the regular it is the 1x120v model. Appreciate you mentioning that I probably would have went with 6awg for the ground. sounds like this will give me another good option. Thanks again.

Have a question on the wiring for my Multiplus II 3000(AC Side) which will be installed in a tiny house. I have read multiple forums and watched every youtube video out there, but seems like there is not a one approach concensus. Wire size will be 6/3 per manual. - I have seen romex used...

Will, take a look, thank you.

Any recommendations on what you would do with heating water? Could always go the propane route or an RV model so I could use solar when available and propane when not, but those not cheap either. Currently thinking a 12gallon POU water heater and having a timer to heat during the day when...

G Good Point, I check and similar size is just shy of twice the usage in terms of daily Watt Hrs. $1400 savings and could increase my battery bank for cloudy days and rain and buy several panels with that. not sure why I was thinking it would be more usage on a regular fridge.

Planning on installing solar on the roof, thought that is not set in stone yet. GFCI protection is a good idea, I could easily accomplish that with GFCI breakers. With the size of the trailer, will probably only have 3-4 circuits at the most. Lights and refrigerator will be 12v, only have two...

Got it. Is the aio required to be grounded?

This is 100% off grid. Power will be supplied by an off grid inverter that will be located in the trailer. Was thinking of going with an all in one.

A bit confused on this as I see conflicting information. Understand that the dc side needs to be bonded to the trailer, and everything on the AC side needs to be grounded to the main panel. Question is where to I ground the main panel? The trailer will be stationary and I could ground to...

Have a question on all- in-one inverters. Specifically looking at EG4 or Growatt 3k system. The installation would be for an off grid tiny house where I would like to shut off AC power when we are not there. Do these unit allow turning off AC power but still charge the batteries through PV...

Thank you. Was able to try this today and it only took a few minutes hooked up to another battery before I could continue to charge with my lithium charger.

I have tried searching, probably not using the correct search terms. Any suggestions on how to kick start a 12v lithium battery from being discharged to 5.5v? The battery has blue tooth monitoring built in and can't be shut off. Any Help is appreciated.

Got it, thanks for the feedback.

Its time to replace the battery in our alarm panel and was thinking of going lithium. The panel I have is a Vista 21p as I measured the voltage looks like the charge voltage is right at 13.7. If I hook up a lithium battery to that, I don't see how it could ever get overcharged, but wanted to...

That is also a possibility. I will look at the device and see if it has a range of operating voltage, if so plan on wiring straight to dc, if not I will stick with a small inverter and the original transformer.

That is actually a good idea and what I was thinking after I started looking at step down converters which are not 100% efficient either. Have a 120w samlex from when we first purchased the trailer and thought that would work, our plans quickly changed as we were on a quest for the perfect cup...

Got it, glad I asked.

It is Lifepo4. Was thinking only watts mattered when the volts are that close. The router will probably draw 2A at12v. if it came in at 13.2, the amps would be slightly lower.

This is probably a silly question, but if I have a router that is currently on a transformer (12v 2a) with a 2.1mm tip. Would prefer not to have the inverter on when in use, thinking I should just be able to splice into the wires get rid of the transformer and connect directly to a Battery...
