Thank you for your reply I will do that

I bought one gauge and 4 gauge wire from Amazon The wire that will suggests I'm looking for a chart that I can use so I know what amperage mega fuse to use.

I'm not an owner operator so I can't put panels on the truck but I can put the panels in the truck and set them out before I go to sleep but it won't really need those at first. The company I work for puts a 2000 W inverter in some of their trucks I could plug in 100 amps or more worth of...

I've seen will on his videos talk highly of two inverters. Growatt and MPP Solar. I'm curious to see what inverters you guys have used and how reliable they have been. I am a commercial driver and looking to put together some lithium batteries with the right inverter of quality. Personally I...

This system powers my cooler and CPAP machine when the commercial vehicle is not running then the inverter (powering the Lifepo4 charger) in the truck charges the Batterys while I drive.

Got one installed today. Thank you

Got a main fuse installed today that was a rookie move on my part WOW. Thank you

Yes that was a rookie move I had a fuse so I installed it today. Thank you

The paper is temporary the bottom of the shunt isn't flat I'll be gluing a price of plastic under it for more surface area for the double sided tape

I have two 12 volt 100 amp batteries wired to double the amperage. I really definitely like the victron smartshunt easy to wire up easy to program and easy to use. Not quite done still have to build a wooden box to make it easier when I move between commercial vehicles as well as mounting stuff...

Thank you for your posts. After watching the video posted here I realized I had forgotten that the lower capacity battery wind drained will draw from the higher capacity battery adding to the already draw from the system as well as any other issue I will definitely be sticking with same capacity...

I have decided to go with a 12 volt battery system consisting of lifepo4 batteries. I have a 12 volt 100 amp battleborn and saving money for a 12 volt sok battery and considering going with a 200 amp battery wired in parallel. Is it okay to have a battery with a larger capacity than the other...

Thank you for that information I appreciate it just got to see how much money I can get aside unless I can work this thing in 12 volts we shall see.

As long as the chemistry is the same, the voltage and capacity do you guys think it's okay to mix brands I typically don't like to do that but I have a battleborn 100 amp and I'd like to get an sok now because they're cheaper than battleborn I may be running them at 24 volts I'm just not sure if...

Sorry I should have put that in. Brand new the capacities about 3300 mAh. The few I have tested some of them are quite low some of them are not too bad. Ion the ones I tested I wrote the milliamps voltage and resistance on the cells.

Not worried about the money as long as I can connect with someone in Utah on my commercial driving route that is interested. Thank you for moving for me to the correct location.

I have 26650 cells more than 240 and 4 charger testers if anyone is interested not worried about money I am a commercial driver in Utah between saint George UT. And salt lake city UT. They are lifepo4 cells. They need to be tested most of the packs are taken apart. I am getting rid of it because...

I will check it out thank you

Thank you for the reply. I am asking what the usable volts amps and internal resistance on the lifepo4 cells 26650. I have a PDF file that helps with this but it's for the 18650 and a different chemistry I just want to have my information together before I start testing these cells. There's a...

Just bought some lifepo4 packs to proses. What are the usable volt amp and resistance tolerance and I know to use cells that are real close on the voltage. what is the suggested tolerance 2 or 4 tenths of a volt or so? Thank you

Thank you for your replies I appreciate the input

Hopefully I posted this in the right place. I'm looking at a pure sign inverter 400 w minimum for an expensive radio control lipo charger. I am looking at one on Amazon I believe this is a brand will approves of not completely sure. Just wanted to see if the following link if the link is allowed...

Does anybody know if there is a BMS system similar to Batrium but not as expensive. I ask because to my understanding I can use one betrium system to monitor 4 separate 4 cell packs (4 - 4 cell packs is my system goal) I'm sure I'll probably end up using one standard BMS for each pack. Thank...

Got the battery top balanced but I'm wondering if my Chinese bench power supply might not be that good. It only charge to pack up to 98% Now that I have the BMS hooked up and the battery wired up I'm going to try it again if it doesn't work to 100% then I'm going to buy one of the ones that will...

Thank you for your reply yes I can adjust the current and the voltage

I saw one of Will's recent videos where he talked about top balancing the cells. I do not have a bench power supply but I have this cheap Chinese one I just want to get opinions on if this is okay to use for top balancing or get a better one from Amazon? It is 50 volts at 20 amps.

Right know i have the battery box, disconnect switch, BMS, Victron battery protect, battery moniter, 12 volt socket and cell checker. I'm thinking of utilizing the bottom bolts on the battery pack to hold them in place still thinking about it. I'll be buying another battery monitor that I've...

Thank you for your input. I have actually decided to buy both monitors I listed and test their accuracy of both against my multimeter

I probably have but I will check it out again. Thank you

Thank you for the input

I'm looking at 2 battery Moniters on Amazon and I'm looking to get your opinion on this. Here are the 2 I'm looking at. 1. Aili voltmeter ampmeter 350 amp shunt 2. Morning Group 300 amp DC multi function battery Moniter My main concern is the accuracy of the information on the screen I saw a...

I goofed the title was to be Inverter 18650 chart

This is for Will and anyone else interested. I created two charts one is my opinion on the cost difference between the Prismatic cells will recently did a video on and the possible cost of an 18650 pack of a similar size. The second is a chart which on the center shows the voltage range of a...

Suggestion thank you for the suggestion filterguy. Actually don't have the money to buy all 400 amps worth at once I was planning on buying for the time 12 volts and hundred amps a BMS for each one at a minimum of 150 amps. And by the hundred amp packs one of the time till I get the total...

thank you for the information everybody. But after watching that that one of the videos posted here I decided to stick with the Prismatic cells. Thanks again John
