    One cell under voltage, one over voltage

    Strangely, I have one cell triggering an under voltage disconnect and another triggering an over voltage disconnect. I presume the error has something to do with the average between the two cells, but that’s pretty vague. The bms is a jbd, 4 cell 280ah battery about 1.5 years old. I...

    Under Temperature Reset on 4s JBD

    I’ve just had my first under temperature shut off and it doesn’t appear to be resetting. I just noticed that today, but it could have happened anytime in the last week or so. Most of that time my panels were parked out of the sun. As I understand it the reset is at 5c, but all probes...

    Upgrading 24vLiFePO4 how best to get 12V

    This is a good reason to buy quality cells. The argument about redundancy is important, but I don’t know how much you lose maintenance wise with a 2p4s over the years. This is a common upgrade question, including for me. The other option I’ve considered is a 24v battery which would avoid...

    Best battery protection practices on smaller system

    As I understand it direct inverter connections bypassing the BMS are recommended. How then do you protect your battery when the inverter protection is set for lead acid? I have a 4s 280ah with a ‘dumb’ 60/30 Daly BMS. The critical load is a 250w oxygen concentrator that will run all night.

    Ok, I have a modest 4s 280ah bank with a dumb Daly 60/30 bms with a ten gauge p-. My inverter is a 600 watt GoWisthat has a lead acid low voltage activation of 10.6 which is way to low. I don’t think there is a simple solution to this, but if anyone has any tips it would be helpful. The...

    A reasonable alternative to DIY?

    YouTube just fed me a review of this product, 100ah at 48 volts for $1,500. And a low temp BMS. https://www.signaturesolar.us/products/h7590c9c2a/2203789000006324403

    Managing Lifepo4 Alibaba Risk

    I’m just about to pull the plug on a 4 cell Alibaba purchase and I think I’ve figured out how to manage the issues. The two known good suppliers I’ve contacted are Amy Wan at Luyuang and Selena Li at Xuba. Ms Wan was formerly at Xuba and has left to start her own company. Ms Li is her...
