    Fuse size for battery

    Thank you for the information. Inverter runs about 83 amps, 100 amps factors in efficiency. How do you figure 2awg wire from fuse block to Busbars? I have under 20amps of draw of The fuse block. Thanks

    Fuse size for battery

    Using a 200Ah lithium battery. I am looking for fuse sizing for the bolt on battery fuse. Maximum load on the system is 120 amps with everything switched on. Should I use a 150amp fuse or a larger fuse like a 200amp? Any information is much appreciated. Also wire size chart shows 120 amps I...

    AiLi Battery Shunt

    Not sure what the full reset amount is, and how one would reset that to a higher figure?

    AiLi Battery Shunt

    My AiLi battery shunt works great, until, I turn on my inverter. When I switch on my inverter, the shunt will measure the power usage, however, it deletes the battery power % and Amp hrs information. Has anyone else had this issue? More importantly is there a fix? Thanks

    Grounding my van electrical.

    I have entire system grounded to chassis from her bus, with 4/0 cable. Inverter, mppt, power converter grounded with 10 awg, which is either manufacturer's spec or exceeding.

    AiLi shunt question

    I have a 12v system. when programming the device, do I simply set the volts in the AiLi shunt to 12v? I have a SOK lithium 206 Ah battery (another on its way). Thanks

    Grounding my van electrical.

    Looks like renogy recommends 10awg to ground the inverter case.

    Grounding my van electrical.

    Thank you for contacting Renogy. Yes, you are correct a 10 AWG cable wire is the precise size that you can use to ground the 3000w inverter. Have no worries as this is the recommended wire size. Should you have any other concerns, please reply to this email or call us at 909-287-7100 Mondays...

    Programming SOK 206AH lithium battery with MT50

    I actually found this video last night and matched the changes (there are only a few). I am a little confused why SOK requires so many parameter changes that are not necessary?

    Programming SOK 206AH lithium battery with MT50

    As anyone successfully input the SOK parameters into the epever 40 amp solar charge controller (using the MT50)? I received the instructions from SOK, and several changes give a "param error" message. These are what I received: How to set on EPEVER Solar Charge Controller Select the “User”...

    Fair enough, thank you for your insight.

    Grounding my van electrical.

    Wow. I have 4/0 to my inverter, is this necessary to ground the case? Renogy is the only manual where I could find a 10 awg case ground recommendation. The other devices do not specify.

    Grounding my van electrical.

    In addition, I cannot find the recommended grounding wire size for my power converter PD9145ALV, have emailed the company and have not heard back, anyone know what gauge this wire should be?

    Grounding my van electrical.

    I was looking at epever manual, and I do not see a recommended wire size for grounding the case? Any recomendations?

    Grounding my van electrical.

    The electrical components of my system are run to positive and negative bus bars. Question: Can I ground the whole system by running a grounding wire from my negative bus bar to a chassis ground? If I do this, do I need to still run separate grounding wires from my solar charge controller...

    Fuse between power converter and battery?

    I have a 45amp lithium power converter. I had read somewhere that the wire from this power converter to the batteries does not require a fuse, because the line is already protected by fuse fuse on the 120v side. However, I have looked at some schematics that show a fuse. Thanks.

    Fuse sizing (again)

    Yep, will be using 4/0 from inverter to bus bar and 4/0 from battery to bus bar, fusing down to 250, to prevent the bms from kicking in.

    Fuse sizing (again)

    Thanks again. I don't have a Facebook account, however, I think I am going to fuse 2 batteries with a 250 amp fuse (2×130), I think that should cover me.

    Fuse sizing (again)

    I took a look at the post, very informative. So with 2 batteries, are you fusing for the 130 amps per battery that the rep said is the overcurrent but off, or just 100 amps?

    DC-DC Charger/battery charger connected direct to battery

    Ok, Gotcha. would you place a fuse closest to the battery terminal then a cut of switch, or the other wat around?

    DC-DC Charger/battery charger connected direct to battery

    Yes, you are correct. The 206Ah SOK battery has a max discharge rate of 100 amps. I plan on purchasing a second one, however have not yet. Another forum member said I could downsize the breaker between the inverter and battery at 100 amps to prevent the BMS from kicking in. I can change the...
