As an experiment and had nothing else to do today 🥳 I Just connected three ecoworthy 200w bifacial panels in parallel to a Victron 100/20 smart solar mppt for two Valence 40ah 12v lifepo batteries connected in parallel for 80ah 12v Looking at the app I was getting 8.6a from the panels and 20.2a...

Just trying to find out if this is a normal thing. I have an Ecoflow D2 that allows 500w/60v max solar and has a 15a limit on the MPPT. I have three 195w Ecoworthy bifacial panels in parallel because series would be to much voltage. On a bright clear sunny day, panels at the correct angle to the...

Curious about the Ecoflow MPPT abilities. I have an Ecoflow Delta 2 power station whos battery is rated at 52v that I use Two Ecoworthy 18v Bifacial 200w panels to recharge with. The panels are connected in parallel because of intermittent shade patches. Panels are 18-22v. It charges the Delta...

Last day on EBay Ecoworthy 195-200w bifacial panels $116 each after using coupon HOLIDAYSAVES20 I bought three Free shipping. Unbeatable price on 200w bifacial.

I just received my new delta 2 and 220w panel this weekend. I charged to 100% and did a discharge cycle test using a 1100w heat gun bring it down to 0% soc. This was less than the draw Will did on his review on YouTube video. And he had no trouble with recharging immediately after. @Will Prowse...

Never have had a reason to wake a sleeping 12v lifepo BMS but a distant neighbor ran his 100ah lifepo down to where the BMS did its job and shut down the battery. (32" TV and inverter on all night :rolleyes:) States he tried a lead acid 12v battery to wake up the the BMS but did nothing. \ no...

My Aili coulomb meter just failed after a couple years but the shunt portion is fine. Looking to see if anyone has an extra/not being used meter portion of one they may want to sell? They are almost as much as the complete setup if buying the meter only and the looong slow boat shipping. Just...

My Drop in batteries BMS allowed my 12v LIFePo to disconnect at 8.6v. 2.15v Per cell. No expert but that represents an unhealthy and life shortening condition for a 12v LIFePo. Manufacturer is saying that's ok???? But lists their BMS LVD at 10.4v Especially if not recharged quickly. Opinions...

Has anyone ever tried to ship a lifepo battery within the US from one private party to another? After talking to UPS and Fedex it seems you have to be a licensed haz-mat shipper to do this. Or you must take it to a third party haz-mat shipper to ship which would cost even more than paying for...

I just upgraded my outdoor lighting with Victron 100/20 smart solar mppt. I was using an EPever 4215bn previously using the load terminals to turn outside area lights on/off dusk to dawn but like the BT ability to monitor the battery that the Victron provides. I set the street light function up...

Had a big EPever 4215bn MPPT CC and bought a Victron smart solar 100-30 to replace it. Loved the EPever but it takes up valuable space in my install. Installed, updated and set parameters. Piece O cake so far. This is what I have currently set for my 12v 100ah LiFePo setup. I do have...
