    Shipping batteries...

    The strangest conversation just happened between FedEx and I. Here is the background.... I ordered some modem packs from Battery Clearing House. The package never showed up. Battery Clearing House told me they will reach out to FedEx to file a claim. One day later.... (Just now) FedEx...

    Jackery is now sold at Harbor Freight

    Looks like Harbor Freight now sells the Jackery. Kind of strange cause I would be expecting them to "make" their own unit with their own branding instead of selling a established unit from a brand not their own.

    Ideal charging parameters?

    I picked up this 40 amp MPPT from HQST. My battery is using 18650's in a 3S60P configuration with a 60 amp BMS. While there is a LiIon setting, the manual says that it is optimized for LiFePO4. What would be the ideal settings I would use in my scenario? Settings: Full Voltage: 12.6V...

    How to choose BMS?

    This is a stupid question but how to you decide how many amps a BMS is needed? Let's say I am going a 12V battery bank with 18650's in 3S. Would I calculate the amps of each battery in one of the parallel banks or would I add up all the batteries in the whole pack? For example: 3S5P Just...

    HQST vs Renogy?

    Is there a good reason to purchase Renogy solar panels when HQST panels are coming from Renogy? I ask because I ordered HQST and Renogy customer service sent me the shipping label. Also going to both company's website shows that they are at the same physical address. Are the HQST panels just...
