    Ali stepped up!

    The dispute was painless, except in my head. They ruled in my favor and asked me to wait 3 days to give supplier a chance to respond, then immediately refunded me. Very pleasantly surprised. Been doing business with both Ali’s for many years and this is the first time I had a major issue...

    Ali stepped up!

    I ordered two sets of 8S 280ah batteries from 2 different suppliers on AliExpress and the first came in on time (6 weeks) with no issues, but the second set ordered in January was lost at sea or something. I eventually received notice that they had been delivered. I opened a dispute and the...

    Misadventures in charging, please advise…

    Thanks for responding, I considered Doing that when I read the download that recommended that, but I didn’t have time before I left town. I just unplugged them and left them in parallel till I get back. They got up to 3.394. When I get back I’m going to look inside the Pwr Sup to see if I can...

    Misadventures in charging, please advise…

    I bought four each Eve 280ah batteries from two different Allie X suppliers and received them last week. One set all four were 3.294 and one set had 3@ 3.283 and an outlier of 3.271. I hooked them all in parallel and ordered a Kungbar power supply 30 V 10 amp and when it came in I hooked it up...

    2p8s or not 2p…

    I ordered 8ea @ 280ah from Ali and a Daly 8s 24v 150a BMS planning on a 2000w psw inverter for my cargo conversion to toy hauler/camper with a 2s2p 800w array, then upped my array to 1320watts on a whim and a deal (165w 4s2p). Then I got greedy and ordered another 8ea 320ah thinking I could use...

    Here at last!

    Sorry Sunshine and Sback, I didn’t realize I didn’t answer back, duh. I actually ordered and received a 150a Daly w/ Bluetooth, then ordered another 8s 320ah from AliEx to add to the 8s 280ah I previously ordered. Now I’m concerned I didn’t go big enough with the 150a. I have decided on a...

    Have panels, need controller help

    Yep, that makes sense Red. I picked up that there were other considerations like extreme temps, but I was overthinking it. And some of those calculators take the wrong road home. Anyway, I’m squared away for now. Thanks for the help.

    Have panels, need controller help

    Ok, thanks for explaining. I didn’t realize I was leaving power on the roof. Why is a calculator even necessary if everyone can just use ohms law? I definitely want to buy the right equipment to utilize my panels to their fullest, and I don’t want to overspend. But I do plan on making my...

    Have panels, need controller help

    I have been preparing to erect a mobile PV system on a cargo conversion to toy hauler/camper I’m building. I was leaning toward 4ea 210w Newpowa panels but I got a killer deal from HD yesterday on 8ea 165w Nature Power panels for about .71/watt. I just haven’t been able to sort out truth from...

    Here at last!

    Been wanting to do some solar builds and finally committed. I have 8 Eve LF 280ah cells on a slow boat from China to work with. I’m going to use them on my toy hauler RV that I’m building. Planning on 4ea 210 watt roof mount panels. I’m leaning toward 24v so I can use only 1 BMS. The panels...
