    Sizing and brand suggestions.

    I have a 280ah 24v battery that I run a JBD BMS on. I looked at high amperage BMS's which are pretty expensive and ended up monitoring my amp draw before ordering a new BMS. In my case, the battery only supplied 80a at the highest which allowed me to purchase a much cheaper 100a BMS.

    12v100ah for 55lb Thrust Trolling Motor?

    I use 12v 100ah on my 18' bass boat now. I run a MinKota 45lb and have a separate 12v lead acid battery for the motor, graphs ...etc... Typically it will last all day fishing because the electric motor is just for moving along the bank. If I put it on 10 it uses around 30 amps an hour. I...

    Simplest brackets for 250w flat to wood patio cover

    Not long unfortunately but they seem secure enough. I used a little lock tight so the bolts would stay tight.

    Simplest brackets for 250w flat to wood patio cover

    These look like the same ones I used; mine were off eBay and re-branded. I used them on 10 of the same panels mounted on an angled pump/shop metal roof. I did use longer bolts with large washers and went clear through the roofing and 3/4 in plywood sheeting...

    Solar for my pool pump

    I just did my well and pool pump with the used Santan panels and a Growatt all in one via a sub-panel off-grid. Cheap easy, very straightforward. Set the pool, which runs at 500w, to run 8 hours a day when solar is available. Made a 24v50ah bat from some used Lifepo4. A fun project that...

    QR code reader for Lifopo4 cells??

    That would make total sense. Too bad someone hasn't put together a simple program like we use for vehicle vins. 1st character country, the second character make...etc. You input the vin and it spits out the year, manufacture, date made.....

    Max Charge and Discharge rates for a 50ah lifePo4, Peak vs sustained

    I built a 24v 50ah LifeP04 battery out of cells that had little documentation. Is 1c the standard discharge rate or can I push it up to 1.5c or 2c for short bursts? It's hooked up to a well that surges at 2000w. Usually, the watts are split up between grid, solar. and battery depending on...

    I have 2 Growatt LVM 24v running in split-phase and currently have them sharing a single 280ah Lipo4. The load could be as high as 4k daily. I could use a little more battery backup during winter and am considering adding a leftover 50ah Lipo4 to the system. My question is how to add the...
