    18650 Battery store great experience

    Hey just wanted to say I purchased 34 lf280k V3. 3 JK BMS. And other things it's been a great experience so far. This is the second time I've ordered from them and they've both been good experiences. And I have to order cross border so that adds to complexity. Video of the cells here.

    Cell price drop

    These are my thoughts as well. Old stock will get chewed up then prices will skyrocket.

    4 MWh SRNE ASF48100U200-H 10kw.

    Does it automatically restart, or does it have to be manually restart after error? Could be problematic in an unsupervised remote off grid location.

    6kw AIO's, value vs cost?

    48v 16S LIFEPO4 heater?

    Hey All Other than the fact that running 120V from inverter is less efficient than running direct from battery.... what are the thoughts on this style heater underneath a 1/4" aluminum plate that would be under all the batteries in an insulated box...

    Sol ark 15k charging issues

    I believe the reason they do this is because the current drops off when approaching full, so you'd be wasting fuel from your generator not running at optimal loading. Smart in my opinion, if your trying to get it to hit float so you can balance cells or something, run a separate charger from...

    Sol-Ark flowing towards generator?

    Don't forget to update the thread with your findings, is that a 12k or a 15k?

    EG4 PowerPro batteries out doors in cold weather any issues?

    I'll call signature solar tomorrow and ask the questions

    EG4 PowerPro batteries out doors in cold weather any issues?

    I think best bet is full shut down when leaving including power off batteries. Then upon arrival. Start generator and heat up the building via woodstove and electric heater in the battery room till they warm up then proceed to use batteries as normal. They are in the heated space when using the...

    LFP for EV's projected to be less than $56 per kWh within 6 months

    Is anyone in this thread thinking long term? There will be a glut of cells now and then prices will sky rocket as they get either old or there is less production?

    You put the power pro batteries in an insulated box or diy cells?

    EG4 PowerPro batteries out doors in cold weather any issues?

    My question is how much power do the heaters use? Use case: off grid cabin. Powered off when not in use. But when arriving at the cabin it's -40F. Will the heaters heat to above freezing then let the batteries take charge? Or will the room need to be preheated externally first. Propane burner...

    Can You Run A 24v Panel Straight To A 24v Water Heater Electrode..?

    This is interesting I never thought of hearing sand to use as a heat battery

    Sol-Ark 15K + SOK batteries = Weird SOC issue

    more and more insurance companies are finding ways to get out of claims, they are not really as helpful as they once were.... That said, 3 feet doesn't seem too unrealistic to separate the battery packs?

    Sol-Ark 15K idle consumption

    100%! Is there an efficiency chart for inverters? showing what the efficiency is at given loads? That would be a smart piece of insight!

    Sol-Ark 15K idle consumption

    Sorry I should rephrase that, I am more interested in the efficiency of the inverter whether charging or discharging, how much of the incoming power is making it to the finish line, end use point. In my particular use case idle consumption of either 60w or 90w is negligible compared to the...

    Sol-Ark 15K idle consumption

    idle consumption statistics are useless to me. I live off grid, my inverter is never sitting "idle". I have seen my solark 15k inverter eating as much as 500 watts when its inverting about 5000 watts to the house, charging with whats left, and pulling in 10k from solar. but so far its reliable!

    Sol-Ark 15K + SOK batteries = Weird SOC issue

    What is your pack voltage when the state of charge causes it to pull from grid? I only use battery voltage on my solark 15k, I don't use communications, frankly i don't like the complexity of communications, let the BMS do its job instead of the inverter do the bms's job, if your packs are...

    Burn it off

    I just started to not use generator. We've had November gloom in February this year! Some other things you can do to abuse your power. Dehumidify a garage where you park winter vehicles. AC that garage in summer Put an electric patio heater load outside in winter Generate multiple tanks of...

    I'm the luckiest boy in the world!

    Only when its cold Today its cloudy and sunny mixture so I am getting those spikes throughout the day. But if its full sun it will stay that way until the panels heat up. If its -30*C yes i've seen that sustained! But black panels heat up quick from the sun even if its freezing outside.

    Cell price drop

    And I always like.the stacking factor on these better for space saving! Dang you cost me some money hahaha

    Cell price drop

    Agreed! I think I might have to look into these strictly because they are premade and save me hours of time on a diy pack, even though I LOVE my DIY packs!

    Cell price drop

    That's a pretty good price! Considering when I do quick math for the batteries from china, plus shipping, plus odds and ends that are needed its around $125/ kwh give or take.

    Cell price drop

    Prices seem pretty fair these days! Bulk meaning 120-160 cells as they ship 4/ per wooden crate. I prefer to move things with forklifts.

    Cell price drop

    Are there any new hoops and hurdles with importing bulk cells into North America?
