    64 eve lLF280k version3 cells in 8P8S configuation 24-volt build December 28th, 2023

    Hi Michael! Haven’t been on for a few years, but enjoyed reading your thread today. I’m also a fan of Dacien’s approach. Although it may seem complicated at first, the simplicity and reliability are great. And for some, the 24v (or 12v) aspect has its advantages. I‘ve used the (original design)...

    The Electrodacus SBMS thread (SBMS0, DSSR50, etc)

    As Mitiempo mentioned, the higher voltage panels (like 60 or 72 cell) can’t be used directly with a 12v SBMSO system. On our old Sprinter we have two 280w 60 cell residential panels (in parallel to avoid shading issues), an MPPT, and a 12v battery (four 200ah lifepo4 cells in series). Using the...

    The Electrodacus SBMS thread (SBMS0, DSSR50, etc)

    Two 280w panels with a 12v system, never used shore power. We do have alternator charging in case of “snow on the panels” but had to use that only twice. The SBMSO is working great!

    DIY 24-volt 560Ah LiFePO4 battery (272x2=544Ah) with Electrodacus SBMS0 and Electrodacus DSSR20

    Great work and nice documentation, Michael. How about a batch of pictures showing your ground arrays and how you’re building those? Will be watching for your venture next into the diversion resistive heating. Thanks! Roy

    Electrodacus SBMS0 with 2p4s or 2 JBD with 4s2p

    I’ve been using an SBMSO with 4 used 200ah cells in our old Sprinter van for a few years. It’s worked great and Dacian has patiently answered my many bone-headed questions. 2p4s diagrams B or C (4 fuses added) here https://nordkyndesign.com/assembling-a-lithium-iron-phosphate-marine-house-bank/...

    Roast my solar install.

    Looks nice! Maybe reroute the 14/2 “fusible link” so it doesn’t make magic smoke later ?

    The Electrodacus SBMS thread (SBMS0, DSSR50, etc)

    I’m absolutely no expert on anything discussed here. Was it Lincoln who said better to read forums and be thought a fool than to comment on them and remove all doubt? We had a grid tied system installed on our home 8 years ago (doh, moved 4 years later so that wasn’t the smartest purchase)...

    The Electrodacus SBMS thread (SBMS0, DSSR50, etc)

    Michael D- are you working up to doing all your electrical with solar, and natural gas/propane for heating? And how do you do wifi monitoring with your SBMSO? I’ve got an Apple phone and iOS updates keep messing with the interface. +1 on Dacian. We have a 2 panel (280w 60 cell)/4s 200ah lifepo4...
