    Strange problem with Daly BMS.

    Is it possibly balancing the cells? Is it Bluetooth so you can turn the balance on and off?

    Seplos BMS after disconnecting from active balancer.

    Sounds like the BMS is shutting off for high current. What is the battery voltage before the bms? Also have you checked individual cell voltage?

    Drilling and tapping REPT 100Ah cells?

    I think I would have someone mig welder the studs back on vs drilling and tapping them.

    When to recharge Li Time 100Ah mini lifep04 battery

    That's ok you'll probably never see 10amps due to line loss. Let it charge until you see 0 amps of charge or relatively close to 0 amps. At that point hopefully your close to 14.6v but after a few hours your battery will rest or float at around 13.6v. I guess as long as you are getting 100ah...

    When to recharge Li Time 100Ah mini lifep04 battery

    I would use the Amazon charger. It got good reviews. You can also use both chargers at once to charge faster. The two together should give you close to 30amps

    When to recharge Li Time 100Ah mini lifep04 battery

    I would use the charger you bought on Amazon and set it to lifepo4 and let it charge to 14.6v.. I read the Amazon listing on that charger and it says it will bulk charge to 14.6 and then float charges at 13.6v. All lifepo4 battery cells I have seen have voltages of 2.5 to 3.65v 4 of them...

    When to recharge Li Time 100Ah mini lifep04 battery

    I think that is happening because your shunt meter hasn't been calibrated to the correct voltage vs amp hours used. I would leave your radio on until the BMS on the battery shuts off. Then recharge battery to 14.6v and etc that as your 100% charge level.

    When to recharge Li Time 100Ah mini lifep04 battery

    Well the one they sent you says it's output is 14.6v, so it should fully charge your battery to 14.6v. So that is good. And after fully charging to 14.6v a lifepo4 will have a resting voltage of 13.6v. That is where you want your renogy shunt meter to read 100%. On my shunt meter I had to...

    When to recharge Li Time 100Ah mini lifep04 battery

    Doesn't sound like your charger is charging your battery at the right voltage. When you are charging does the amp meter go to 0 amps or is it still giving you 2 or 3 amps going in? It should charge to 14.6v and float charge at 13.6v. Once you get your battery to 14.6 volts reset your amp meter...

    Transfer Switch?

    The transfer switch is to keep you from back feeding power out to the power company lines when power goes out. If you are send out power this could kill one of the workers trying to fix the power lines.

    Aolithium discharge cable terminal hole too small for 3/8" bolts. Recommendations?

    If you have a car Audio installer near by, have them install new ends on for you.

    EG-4 3000 ehv-48 Max inverter current

    Since the inverter is 3000w the math would say 3000w ÷ 48v = 62.5amps. But I would imagine you have a common port BMS so charger and inverter will use the same wire. And the charger is 80amps. So the 100amp fuse will be fine.

    When to recharge Li Time 100Ah mini lifep04 battery

    Your battery monitor should be set to these parameters. Renogy battery monitor settings: -Capacity - 100Ah -Full - 14.6v -Zero V - 10.8v -PowerOff - 10.8v (Li Time then told me switch it to 12v just to be safe) -Alarm - 5Ah -Atten - 0.2% Is there a reason you can't leave the charger on all...

    JK B2a8s30p

    That's correct you need to get a different BMS. You need a common port BMS not a separate port BMS.

    JK B2a8s30p

    It looks like the c- is for charging connection. So you connect the negative lead on your charger here. Whether that be via converter or from solar. So this BMS splits the charging and load negative wires.

    One controller, or two?

    Quick answer is no. You can parallel SCC to a battery. You can also parallel all charging devices , converter, alternator and solar.

    Can my system support Lithium Batteries?

    A lot of people have been using chins 280ah they are $649 there is also a $40 coupon on the listing, make sure to check the box. You can parallel upto 4 of them. https://a.co/d/dmie48j

    The numbers are off....

    My first thought is how good are the cells balanced within each 48v battery? Did you top balance all the cells prior to assembly? My next concern/ thought is are the jk bms able to be paralleled? You maybe better off building 1 16s4p battery with only 1 bms. Or Two 16s2p batteries.

    Can my system support Lithium Batteries?

    The inverter also looks like it can operate at upto 15.5vdc. Lifepo4 batteries max voltage is 14.6 so you are good there. You SCC looks like it is programable so you should be able to set the correct charge parameters for lifepo4 batteries. Your solar will top off the batteries so you wouldn't...

    Can my system support Lithium Batteries?

    Looking at your inverter/charger it is a 12vdc not 36vdc. So I would look at your batteries again. Connecting 36vdc to it will damage it. Common inverter voltages is 12v, 24v and 48vdc, I personally have not seen a 36vdc unit.

    Used Lithium Battery Info

    Yes that would be 80ah. Yes you will be able to upgrade the BMS on them just make sure the BMS is able to be paralleled to another.

    Used Lithium Battery Info

    Those cells look like 2500mah or 2.5ah cells. If they are in a 4s20p configuration like it appears in the pictures that would make the 50ah batteries. The BMS looks to small to use for what you want to do. 2000W ÷ 12v = 166.6 amps.

    One controller, or two?

    It doesn't matter where you parallel the two panels at. Just make sure the signal wire running to the battery is big enough to handle the combined current from them. 8awg will be needed to handle the combined current.

    One controller, or two?

    Yes just hook them both to your batteries as normal. Positive to Positive and negative to negative.

    Introduction and advice on solar charged go kart

    I bought the AiLi Battery Monitor from Amazon for $44 https://a.co/d/d9EM3r0 But you do have to calibrate the capacity by draining the battery 100% then fully recharge it. You also inter the calculated battery capacity. The Renogy you have may have to be calibrated the same way.

    RV solar system design

    No. It is just a lithium battery compatible converter. You will need to buy a solar charge controller. The only thing on your RV is the wires were ran from the roof down. They should be marked and inside a compartment somewhere.

    New 8S BMS at 4.0V while LFP is at 26.3V. Is BMS in Sleep Mode?

    No, your just connecting negative to negative. And it only takes a split second. It just makes the BMS see a voltage so it will turn on. Seen Will Prowse do it in one of his videos.

    New 8S BMS at 4.0V while LFP is at 26.3V. Is BMS in Sleep Mode?

    On a Daly BMS you can simply jumper a wire across the negative post of the battery and the negative lead coming out of the bms so it sees voltage.
