    Batrium help

    Thank you, I will try to charge individual cell to get them back on top, would you change any of the settings, they’re basically factory default settings, I haven’t changed anything. And when do you configure the shunt?

I might be going at this all...

    Batrium help

    I’m not what you mean about SOC, if your meaning the state of charge when I started out, they where about the same, about 3.58 to 3.73 from the lowest to the highest, and probably should had them all paralleled so they would had time to get to know each other before I started to change them.

    Different types of batteries

    Do you think eventually I could took all 3 48v pack together on one inverter? And how do I figure out how big of a main fuse do I need on 48v pack? Or am I overthinking it, I figure each main battery cable needs some kind of protection. I built performance cars I’ve got fuses on everything.

    Different types of batteries

    100p14s, an each cell is fused with 5 amp glass fuses, I did build them similar to the Tesla Pack, mainly watching YouTube videos like average Joe and a lot of others. There wasn’t much to do between all this Covid stuff and cancer. I’m using the Batrium WatchMon Core with the K9, and thank you...

    Different types of batteries

    I’m not sure how to calculate the capacity of the 18650s, haven’t gotten everything finalized, the 18650s is just what started with last year and just finished putting them into packs and gotten hung on the wall. The SPIM08HP modules are originally 36v, you have to rearrange the cell to build a...

    Wire gauge for DC

    I was going to put switches for each string at the panels in case I need to work on them and a combiner box at the inverter in case I need to shut down a string in case of over voltage if that make sense, it’s Alabama, The temperature swings a lot here, unless you have other thoughts

    Batrium Alternative

    Is there alternative to a Batrium BMS, I have 14s x 200 18650 battery pack and Growatt 5000, and ABB SACE S5 switch. It seem to be a Batrium at 900 dollars or a Chinese BMS at 100 dollars and not even sure that you could get a Batrium right now in the US. Thanks, James

    Solar panel math

    What about wire size running 24 panels in a 6S4P, I like that idea, especially if you lost a panel. And what about lightning protection?

    Solar panel math

    Thank you, I thought my math was right, I'm just overthinking, but that sure is a lot of panels. I will probably run 20 panel in series and parallel, and go from there, thanks, James
