I currently have a standard 1hp AC pool pump running of an exterior outlet. I’m thinking about connecting the pump to my MPP All-in-one inverter. Question, if I have a few panels connected to the MPP and have the MPP connected to grid power through an exterior outlet will it automatically...

Thanks for that input. I think the unit is running fine. I’ve tested my full size house frig and now I’m testing the battery with a discharge. In both cases it showed readings. I’ll check my settings perhaps there is something off a bit. Or the load was just way too small

Just set up my MPP pi-1012lv-ms all in one. I noticed when I have a small load the display reads 0 for load%, VA, and watts. For example read zero for all three while I charged one cell phone and my 18v cordless drill. When I plugged in a fridge it jumped up to showing normal numbers (500w...)...

Any thoughts on these cells (A123) verse the regular prismatic cells everyone uses? BatteryEvo has 120ah battery with these cells for only $500. For the price I'm not familiar with these cells. Thoughts?

Thanks again, maybe I’m worrying to much and should just charge with my scc only

Thanks! Any thoughts on anything specific to look for in an ac charger? Didn’t find recommendations on the forum but maybe i missed them

Sorry this is likely a very dumb rookie question. To charge my new lithium battery do I need a dedicated ac to dc charger or will the solar charge controllers do double duty? Thinking ahead when the new battery arrives

Has anyone done a teardown on any of these batteries? Wondering for the price in the US if they are junk or worth the money?

Are you planning on selling anymore in the future?

Stumbled on this today. Would it be usable as a backup solar generator battery option? Say they are 24v 60ah. Used for $200. Figured two might work. Since they are car batteries I have no idea if a BMS is onboard (i Assume yes) and what sort of cells are used. any experience or thoughts would...

Sorry for the newbie question. Is there an advantage or disadvantage to these kind of cell verses the aluminum ones I see most everyone using? I believe i've seen some other comments that these are perhaps a style thats been around longer and more suitable for mobile type installations where...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Think I’ll stick with lithium even if it means starting out smaller than I would like

Ok beginner question. Building a solar generator system. If I don’t use lithium batteries and go with AGM or Gel are they safe to store and use inside? I understand lithium is perfect indoors but not sure if that is true for others. I would prefer to use lithium but the costs are likely too...

Thanks for the feedback. Agree waiting months doesn’t sound good and I wonder how much you really save in the long run. Money is money and maybe I’m off but it seems like the saving is fairly small

I’ve found a few threads earlier with no feedback. Wondering if anyone has experience with a company called Lynx Battery our of Seattle? They have what seems to be good prices on open Prismatic cells and enclosed cylindrical cells. Using Daly BMS’s. Items are in stock and I actually talked to a...

Thank you that makes complete sense. I’ll see if building a 24v is less expansive than buying one. I suspect it’s still cheaper

Brand new to solar and building a mobile generator to mainly power my home fridge in emergencies. Budget is low so I’m trying to get the most capacity for the $. Want to use lithium ion ( probably building my own ). If I use 24v 100ah rather than 12v will I get more wH out of that battery...
