    Why is my voltage dropping

    I have a couple of panels in series that produce 70V into a charge controller dropping to charge 12V batteries. Every few hours the voltage drops to 14V on the panels before climbing again slowly over a period of time (no shading). I have two identical arrays, and they both do exactly the same...

    My LifePo4s will live in a steel welded battery box. There is little room in the box itself to add compression plates to the ends of the cells. The box, basically has a bottom, four sides, and a removable wooden lid. What are people thoughts on using threaded rod between to sides of the battery...

    Tracer won't float

    I have a tracer 2215rn connected to a single 12V Agm battery, charged by a 50 W panel. It does not want to go into a float voltage, but just sits there at 14.2V with 0.7A going in to the battery. Is it knackered? Thank you

    JBD BMS Help

    First post. I am trying to determine which BMS I need for my Lifep04 bank. I think I want the 120A version , but am not sure what the difference is between these two. Can anyone offer any advice which would be better. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001198181069.html...
