    Do I need battery monitor when Victron MPPT already has bluetooth?

    Hello, Quick question, probably a dumb one. As title suggests, what more is a battery monitor going to do for me that I cant get with my bluetooth connectivity to the MPPT? Haven't set it up yet so I have not actually seen what the bluetooth/app info gives me in the first place, but putting in...

    Max amount of parallel batteries?

    Do you have a recommended product that would do this? Price doesn't really matter. Would prefer something with bluetooth connectivity to apple iPhone if possible. or can set up an android device to be dedicated BMS remote.

    Max amount of parallel batteries?

    Ok that makes sense. If it were a series block, then each cell would need its own connection though, right? Because before building a series block, you would first parallel the cells to balance the voltage levels, but since these are parallel based blocks to begin with, no need to do so? I just...

    Max amount of parallel batteries?

    holy crap. I didn't even think about doing it the other way around. Parallel blocks and then series vs series blocks then parallel. Mind blown haha. Thank you very much @electric ! how can I get away with one BMS for all 24 cells though? Is there a BMS that can handle that many connections? Each...

    Max amount of parallel batteries?

    I just purchased 24 lion energy cells that are 3.2v and 50ah prismatic cells. My thought process was to make 4 cell packs, and then parallel 6 (4s6p) of them together with each pack having BMS for a total of 12v 300ah. But I just read that you shouldn't parallel more than 2 packs together. Is...

    3.2 Volt 50AH Lithium batteries for $50 on ebay. Would these be a good choice to build an RV solar system battery bank?

    I just purchased 24 of these from the same ebay listing. My thought process was to make 4 cell packs, and then parallel 6 of them together with each pack having BMS for a total of 12v 300ah. But I just read that you shouldn't parallel more than 2 packs together. Is there any way around this...
