    Plug and play kit - shed

Shed will have propane heat ........ and insulaion ...... but that wont help overnight if we get a snow...

    Plug and play kit - shed

    Problem is you dont know whta you dont know ;) I wired a 220v dedicated run into my panel for my welder no issues and pretty simple. Also do relocation or addition of 110v stuff when needed. But once you start getting into nultiole branches, shuts, safety switches, high loads, complexity and...

    Plug and play kit - shed

    On the fence. But probably not just due to bang for buck - capacity/charging what not. The portability and the form factor are nice though. Now IM trying to decide on the AIO. Seems real mixed reviews going of review sites. Rarely over 4 star. Was looking at wills eg4 build ...... but then...

    Plug and play kit - shed

    Got it - guess I was thinking the BMS at 150A was really more for the charge side how quickly it can charge. Wasn't thinking of anything that needed 150A on supply side since everything is a 20A circuit for a 110v Its sort of simple I think - even though a bit wish/wash in my head. Yeah pretty...

    Plug and play kit - shed

    You mentioned 150A. Assuming you mean the BMS ? Would 2x12v 200A batteries.like this be ok ? Not sure of the 150A requirement except for charging quicker ? VINNOTECH 12V 200Ah Lithium Battery with 200A BMS, 12V 400Ah/ 24V 200Ah LiFePO4 Batteries, Over 4000+ Deep Cycle, for Solar, Marine...

    Plug and play kit - shed

    Yeah thinking for aluminum Would be 220v @ 23A Or a large 220v compressor Not large durations but 10mins here 10 mins there etc

    Plug and play kit - shed

    Thx. Yeah my electric quotes are like $7500 to run the 220ft required.....and that's with me doing the dirt work. Like the idea of solar ..... but not if it gets too crazy on wiring or on $$. Really just need the battery charger and lights ..... and and angle grinder from time to time. I...

    Plug and play kit - shed

    Thats actually cool. Simple. Ties in real nice with my new thread. hmmm ...... decisions decisions. Aware of anything that will tie into 220v (step up) easily ........ to run a compressor ......... basically 10 minutes here and there. Or welder.

    Any other basic considerations in calc

    If I wanted a basic short term setup for my shed ...... are these calcs enough. Zip code 98382 - so 4 hours sun avg. All are peak daily use - like worse case. 120v welder @20A at 1 hours. => 1x2400W => 2400W (that's 1 hour of welding machine on and full welding - generally only 3-5 min...

    thanks guys - what determines the battery storage ....... meaning 12.6v->52v etc Seems like per google just based on total amp draw and charge and system, size

    Plug and play kit - shed

    Thanks. I did a much smaller system but very similar wiring to this for my old smaller shed - no 110V - just 12v for exeternal lighting. are there brans you recommend as good quality ? How do most people run their 110V from the invertor. ideally like a fused circuit for each run ...... not a...

    Plug and play kit - shed

    Hi anyone have recommendations for a mostly plug and play kit - for a shed. to support the normal ....... lighting / low amp led but mostly power tools ...... direct and chargers for battery chargers. So its possible to have 2x 15A circuits dedicated on at a time plus lights. (eg Fan and...

    lifepo4 battery wont charge now

    Chins/Ampere Time on good old Amazon. 50ah Trolling motors are different - one has max draw of 24A and other of 50A. Anyway just curious - alls good as long as they replace :) Which they have.

    lifepo4 battery wont charge now

    Yeah weird part is it shows 11v which per my mind means its not disconnected/shutoff. The trick of adding a 12v supply diret from another battery until it detects and turns on doesnt work either company is sending a new one just weird I have had 3 lifepo4 batteries and all failed within a year...

    lifepo4 battery wont charge now

    Hi all Reads 12.5v right now. I've hooked a NOCO 5A with lifep04 support on it --- it just turns on and off like it cant detect. Bought a lifepo4 charger from amazon - heagstat - same thing. Wpnt charge just makes both kind of "not detect it". thoughts ? Less than 9 months old.

    Newbie - +ve terminal is toast - what could have caused this

    Not sure what you mean- can you elaborate. It has a LIFEPO4 (lithium with BMS) setting and always negotiated to that when connected.

    Newbie - +ve terminal is toast - what could have caused this

    One thing I did notice is that the spec sheet on amazon says 45A max. However the spec sheet on the main website says 55A. hmmmm. I just bough this to to do an inline monitor as Im running https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z398YWF/ref=crt_ewc_title_oth_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AZ0MMPOLVYF3T...

    Newbie - +ve terminal is toast - what could have caused this

    Well good news and a question. They are offering a refund. But this part confused me. "The continuous output current of your thruster is 45A, and the continuous output current of the battery must be at least 90A to solve the problem. The continuous output current of the 12.8V 50AH lifepo4...

    Newbie - +ve terminal is toast - what could have caused this

    Yes sir. Thats the plan - have reached out to see what they say. Right now their first two repsonses were ; 1) You didnt have the terminal lugs tightened enough - not the case - was done with a screwdriver to full contact. Had to take off with a screwdriver also. 2) Your trolling motor draws...

    Newbie - +ve terminal is toast - what could have caused this

    Yep meant the other one. I actually do a bit with 12v car systems on a DIY restoration basis. Just much simplier. And this is actually one of the most confusing parts to me .... if you have ever been to a junk yard and seen the condition of the terminals on trucks connected to a battery that...
