    New lifepo4 280ah build was charging fine then rapidly charged and now show 0 charged with overkill solar 120a bms

    Those BMS leads are under the buss bars or far too big for the lug. You might just have a bad connection. Newb here too, but I bet as the cells charged they started to expand. Then the bus bar connections started to move and your BMS leads now have a bad connection. But again, I'm still very...

    Perfect, that's what I thought I could do, thanks for verifying. I work in Industrial maintenance, I hear you loud and clear here. I prefer to do it once, and do it right. Good point, I will dig into this when I am there. (thanksgiving and x-mas) The PO has done a few things that were odd, so...

    I don't want to derail this thread but she is under paneled, and under battery banked. Our most likely plan is to add another ground mounted solar array with another charge controller in parallel. I assume that should work? Currently has 9 qty SCHUCO 235w panels from 2011 - 2.1kw

    It's her full time residence. Battery is inside in a special room. I have some rudimentary knowledge of these lifepo4 banks from a camper/travel trailer project of mine, but I passed it over because of that fact.

    Much appreciated info. Thank you. I will dig into the top balancing "guide" I've not seen that yet, but i'd bet its in an easy to find place. EDIT: oh yeah, it's pinned to the top of the section. I missed that little pin icon. Thanks! Link here...

    Building a 16s 280ah bank for an off grid house. I don't know.. what I don't know. What am I missing.

    My Mom has an 2,800sq/ft offgrid house up in the Colorado mountains. Her lead acid bank (48v ~340ah) is about dead. She needs a replacement by Christmas (parts should arrive in time). I am hoping you all can tell me what I may be missing since I am under a bit of a time crunch and don't have my...
