Today after messing with my clutch fan for a bit I came to the realization I needed a special tool... So the altenator isn't installed. I did take out my 544ah of lishens and installed the new 1240ah eve bank. It's currently charging from my multiplus which is plugged into my generac... only 6...

How do all these setting look? When I first check the max cell voltage was set to 3.85...

It is odd, when I use my voltage meter I get all the cells at 3.33, but recs wifi shows the following

Started wiring, my 4/0wire is at my bus so I'll need to make those cables tomorrow. My plan is to get the battery hooked up, install the altenator, then wire in the wakespeed

@upnorthandpersonal @HRTKD Can you guys advise to the best placement on the image above for my bms wires

Pulling it all together I cut my allthread to length and filed the tips so bolts could go on, cut the cutting boards to size, and sandwich everything

I glancing at my transition I think about taking a few pieces of angle to build the box out of metal... but metal and electric never sits right with me

Oiled

Drilled, and sanding begins

Basically here I am just marking between the cells for drilling

Next step back to the batteries to get more measurements, this time with my wood carcasses

I cut everything about a .25 too long to true up everything by bringing it in after establishing straight lines on the saw

Found a piece of scrap wood, 1/2 baltic birch that I'll use for this project

Need to repurpose my ski tuning/waxing station back into a saw

Took at trip to the po box to get a few more parts, stopped at the depot for hardware, and filled up the generac 6500 for running the saw. I configured the cells for measuring

I like the snow and the cold

I have all my tools in my bus, but there is no heat, so yeah I'm with you

Today I will be starting a new build for my van and thought I would start a build series thread for anyone doing the same thing or who might have an interest. The core components are: 16 Eve 310AH cells (the claim is they are grade A, they all tested at 320+ah) Nation's 280xp dual alternator...

The nation's took two months to ship so I just got it. I went with the rec and have sourced everything... so I'll hopefully start connecting everything today... I went with 16 eve 310 ah, all the cells tested at 320+... I hooked the rec up last night and got the wifi module going... we got a...

Check you electric bills kwh, the average apartment is 20to30, then use a online calculator to go from kwh to watts to ah... then you know how many cells you need

Aww crap, maybe I will give the ender another look... way more professional than a wood case... not sure if the ender can print big enough for a 4p4s setup of 304eh eves

I just got 16 304ah eve cells from Amy, 2 months to door.. 8 boxes two cells per box packaged great, no damage. I would buy from her again

I use to have the Orion as my only dc to dc charger, now I have a 280amp dual altenator, and the 30amps from the orion lol (I just kept it so if needed I can toggle it to charge the van's battery)... its night and day... still have 400watt solar, which is good in the summer months. I only have...

No, I switched to 16 eve 304ah cells in my van, so I am removing the 8 lishens I have now but to sell just a 2 wouldn't make sense for me..

After all the help you've given me, I'm hear for moral support!!!

Where are you located? I have 8 lishens 272 that I'm selling

Hello everyone, I received my 16 304ah Eves today and are now looking at the best way to connect them in a 4p4s configuration. Below is the arrangement I am looking at, but I am also thinking about just a long single row so I can mount then aside my vans walls. I read a few post about using...

Then why the heck would wakespeed say the rec bms will tell the unit to drop the charging current? That's strange, no ?

I do have the Orion, but the dual altenator gives me 280amps potential... that would be a silly number of orions and seems more complicated... the dual alternator allows me to charge outside my vans system.

If it's not one thing it's another

I called wakespeed, they said hooking g the ws500 directly to the voctron stuff would not regulate charging, it would have to go to a victron or rec bms... then they said the victron bms is only for victron batteries so .... looks like to charge I would have to have one huge 16 cell 12 volt...

The wakespeed500 says it can connect to the smartshunt, but then that wouldn't connect to the victron stuff.. if I attempted to connect it to the victron smartshunt and not a bms

The only thing between the dual altenator and the battery is a wakespeed500... I don't think you can communicate with it... rec says their bms can and slow down the charging current based on the cell voltage...
