Anything blaring in ur face that’s a safety hazard? This is the electrical set up that the 24 volt battery will rest underneath. wire is 4 gauge, 10 gauge I think the blue cables for the ats is 16 gauge, and I used 2 gauge battery cable from Walmart that will attach this to the battery

Hi, I have a question reguarding this ATS Will Prowse reviewed a while back. The manual states the maximum current of ATS is 50 amps and 1200 Watts max load for my 24 volt Battery bank. Is this true? I dont understand the logic behind this bec the ATS gets AC power from the wall and 120 volt...

Hi, I am trying to get some feedback for an idea that popped in my head lol. I wanted a truck bed cover for my truck that I just bought but don’t want to spend the money for one. I also have 2 250 watt solar panels that will fit my truck like a tonneau truck bed folding cover. But it would be a...

Has anyone bought these? I was going to try to use these for a lightning McQueen toy car electric that my kids use as well as for a mx350 electric dirt bike. This would significantly increase run time I would think from the 7 amp he batteries led acids it would replace. But r the battery’s any good?

Hello, I have a 50 gallon plastic toolbox on wheels with inverter batteries and scc. My Giandel inverter mania says I need to ground it with a 14 awg cable. Is that required? Since the box is plastic? I’m asking bec my inverter has a “ol” code and won’t function. Manual says it’s a short or...

I keep changing up what I want to do with these batteries. Well I just bought an rv and I want to install them in it instead of using a mobile solar generator which was my original plan. So now I have to go 24 volt bec I bought a 24 volt bms and a 2000 watt inverter and 8 lifep04 catl cells 310...

Is there some sort of “fire alarm” or “Corbin monoxide” alarm for shorted or cells that release the toxic gasses?

Curious if I plug a 48 volt or any power supply into a mppt scc to charge my 24 volt batteries would that work?

I’m trying to change the “total battery capacity” to my actual capacity to 7936 amp hours but mah hrs it’s 7936000. The problem is the user settings in the amp don’t allow 7 characters only 6. How do I set the proper amp hours?

I looked up not sure what to call it, percent of charge? And I keep getting stuff like this showing as little as 3.4 volts per cell as 100% state of charge. But I’m dumbfounded Bec I was told the 100% was 3.65 volts. I know lifep04 have a steep curve at the ends but that’s still conflicting...

I bought 8 310 amp catl cells on Ali express and after inspecting them a 2nd time and adding the bus bars I noticed 2 of them r bulging to the point they can rock back and forth with another cell. To my limited experience they seem to be brand new grade a like the listing said visually wise...

Just curious about something that crossed my mind specifically about miady batteries but all lifep04 in general. If all bms have balancing features technology if u charged at an extremely slow rate like 1 amp an hr wouldn’t that be sufficient for the bms to balance? Or slower? Say .5 amps an hr...

I bought these switches to turn on a small light but after installing them the light did not turn on. The only difference in the wiring from the picture is instead of attaching the load negative to the switch I attached the negative to the battery negative on the fuse block. Would that cause a...

I have this toolbox that’s full of batteries and have no room for the 2000 watt Giandel inverter. I know I can pop on the inverter on top of the box for a mobile solar generator but any ideas on how I would be able to protect the terminals on the inverter?

Hello, I’m looking for a toolbox with wheels so I can move it around to the rv and around the house. I bought this toolbox originally for only 4 cells but ended up getting 8. Well I would love it to work but I seriously doubt it’s all going to fit. I have been looking and looking for something...

A thought that just crossed my head as I was planning on building a solar generator. Not sure how to ask it in a single question so I can’t search it in the forms. Sorry. Will said and many others that u have to hook up the battery first then connect the solar charge controller 2nd so u don’t...

I charged a 20 amp hr Miady 12 volt lifep04 battery with a bench charger at 14.6 volts at 1.2 amps after I received the battery. It arrived at a voltage of 13.3. Well after I charged it and the current went to 0 amps I started hooking up to r inverter and noticed the inverter showed 13.3 volts...

Not specifically solar related but under the concept of “green energy” none the less. Don’t mean to discourage anyone from getting solar but I think u should get solar for the right reason. I am getting solar and lifep04 batteries myself but not to save the planet. It’s not a perfect movie and...

Just curious what u think is best. A 24 volt 8s bms from overkill puts out 2560 watts. What would be the smarter choice a 2000 or 3000 watt inverter? what I plan to draw from the inverter i don’t want to be a factor. For the overall system is it better for the inverter to shut down due to over...

I’m building a portable solar power station and I believe I have narrowed it down to a 2000 or 3000 watt pure sine wave inverter by Giandel. How important is a terminal block to have an AC plug? The 2000 watt inverter has no terminal block and thus I will need to use a 3 prong cable plugged into...

I am jumping right into solar and making my own solar generator. I’m a complete newbie with batteries electronics and electricity. however I have been getting a crash course on Wills videos and feel maybe moderately informed where I should be. Can an expert look at the parts I have already...

Has anyone heard of these new cells on AliExpress? R they legit?

When a bms says it’s 100 amps is that bi directional? Like u add the amps going into the battery for charging and the amps being used by the inverter?

I have watched many of Will Prowse videos on YouTube and he never recommends using the load ports on the solar charge controllers and in fact he suggests against it but leaves no explanation why, At least that I have seen. My understanding of load ports on solar charge controllers is that the...

How important or is it at all to buy all new cells at once? I bought 4 cells for a 12 volt system but I decided to go to a 24 volt system. Should I buy 4 more of the same cells on order #2 or cancel my first order of 4 cells before they come in and rebuy all 8 at once?
