    I purchased 3 SOK rack batteries. I'm trying to connect them to Solar Assistant and I'm not having any luck. I have the rs232 cable from current connected, and followed all the steps I could find to get it connected. Connection to the PC takes a number of tries before the port will open and...

    48 volt charger

    I've been searching and can't seem to find a cheapish 48 volt charger. I'm building a 16s 100ah lifepo4 pack. I used my airplane lipo charger to charge each cell, but I can't use it to charge the final pack. Only thing I can find under $300 is a 60v 5a power supply. I suppose I could use my...

    One 48v 280ah battery or two 48v 150ah batteries

    Would it be better to do one big battery or 2 smaller batteries and the parallel them together. My thinking would be the two batteries with a bms each of course. If something happened to one cell in one battery, I would still have one that works. Well hopefully. I've tried searching for a...
