    Ampere/ Li-time batteries in series

    Had purchased an ampere time battery for my trolling motor. I have since added a 24v trolling motor to the boat. Can I buy another Li-Time battery to series with my Ampere time battery? Would the bms of each battery be able to handle the 24v?

    One low cell

    I have one cell that’s low. My DOD and max SOC are conservative so the low cell isn’t causing much of an issue. All other cells stay within .015 of each other. This one cell has a lower voltage thru entire SOC. It makes the pack cell voltage difference as high as .48. I know this isn’t much...

    Extend JK bms Bluetooth or other options

    The JK Bluetooth doesn’t even reach the living room of a small house roughly 30ft from the bms. yeah it’s a couple walls in the way but still ?.. Is it possible to use a Bluetooth extender? Looks like the extender antenna I have has a usb. Might be a stupid question but not the first time i’ve...

    Delta H6 Solar City

    In perfect basically new condition. I used this inverter for less than a month. I then figured out my electric company did not tell me the full truth regarding incentive to feed my power into the grid. So I took this inverter down and installed an inverter capable of grid tied zero export. It...

    Compress or not, flexible busbar or not

    I have a couple hundred pounds of 280ah CATL cells on the way.. I’ve read a lot on here about this.. Seen Wills videos and his sideways cell configuration with solid busbars. Seen Offgridgarages videos and his are not sideways but he leaves space between each cell for expansion and uses solid...

    Eg4 moving in the right direction

    The EG4 inverters seem like a reasonable option. They are priced right and look to be well built. I can say the same about the server rack batteries. I’m hoping their inverters keep advancing. What I mean by that is I’m hoping/wanting them to become what I’d call a true hybrid. Meaning that...

    Does PayPal refund if the inverter delivered does not work/broken?

    If I purchase an inverter from here and it does not work does PayPal refund everything.. I know PayPal refunds if you don’t receive it but what if you receive it and it doesn’t work/broken

    Grounding pv panels, safety disconnect switch and dc surgeprotector

    Thanks in advance for your assistance. When I installed my roof mount array (metal roof) I had the understanding that the array should be grounded to its own ground rod. I understand now that might not be correct. Now I’m planning to add an outdoor pv safety disconnect switch and a dc surge...

    SolArk direction of power flow when in grid tie limit to home usage mode?

    Hello everyone and thanks in advance for helping my brain understand this. I’ve installed many main and subpanels in my day. I’m trying to understand how the SolArk supplies power to the main panel when in grid tie mode. Does it push power out the inverters grid input and then into the main...

    Battery voltage wirelessly to iPad

    Looking for ways to see my DIY power walls voltage on my iPad. Would make a lot less trips to the solar room. I’m using a chargery Bms, it has a shunt. I’m using an outback fm80 chargecontroller. I don’t think either of those can wirelessly send what the battery voltage is to my iPad. Any shunt...

    Hybrid inverters with grid tie mode

    Hybrid inverters that have a grid tie mode. While they are in grid tie mode and the homes loads exceed the max output of the inverter. Will the hybrid inverter continue to supply its max output and simply allow the grid to supply the remaining power the loads need that is above the inverters max...

    Which cell is being discharged by the chargery

    The first two pics are from the chargery manual. They show certain number cells balancing depending on which state the battery is in. The way it’s worded makes it seem like those are the only cells that would be balanced when the individual modes are used. Am I reading it wrong.? Will it always...
