    New EVE Cell at RE+ 2023: LF 560K (628Ah Cell)

    Very good points I was looking at it but did not do the math or compare to their current batteries.

    Yoshino solid state power station product review request

    Seems someone recently did a review (YouTube) on one of their solid state battery device. Seems like a nice form factor for the watts available.

    JK BMS 200A (350A peak). 2x 7AWG. HOW?

    I'm running dual 6 awg silicone fine strand cable no issues but not many times I'll be pulling max current. Plus the runs are not crazy long. https://www.timshelnut.com/Electronics/Portable-Power-Station-Banana-Dos/

    Refrigerator for Vehicles

    Can't go wrong with an ICECO! All this heat we have been having and previous summers mine has been running 4years straight in my car on a Solar power station I built with 280ah cells. I have VL60D dual zone run one side as freezer with icecream and the other as fridge.

    Bifacials or no Bifacials on Pergola

    I was thinking Bi-facials if I was to build one. It was something I was thinking about doing in the near future on the back of my house.

    Jk bms protecting

    Looking into this also as I'm having issues with getting my inverter on with the precharge. I'm currently at 5000 milliseconds on the short circuit protection I'm afraid to keep going up on it. That one statement that the inverter relay isn't compatible doesn't make sense how would this be...

    Jk bms 16s and short circuit protection with voltronic like inverter

    Curious here also which I'm trying to turn on inverter with precharge. Samlex ntx-2000-12 inverter with 60w 6ohm resistor holding it longer than I should once I flip on my 250amp relay it will be on for few seconds and disconnect. History log shows its the short disconnect. Crazy to think...

    What size fuses?

    I had to end up using all MRBF fuses whereas a Class T would have been optimal. Mine issue is due to space and was no logical way to place one in there. If you can do the main with class T and any other runs with the MRBF but not a ANL. But the main question is size and one key...

    Licitti Heavy Duty AC Power Box

    I have their DC box and did some modifications to it. I would say for the price it was ok and I probably could not have built it like from a project box and parts for what I paid. https://www.licitti.com/product/dc-control-box/ Mine - Added different SB50 plug for input (Yellow) and added the...

    JK-B2A24S20P BMS Verify Password to enable settings change

    I'm also wondering how the temp code works. But early on with people having issues with the pass codes I never fooled with mine. It is not worth it. I do not see that many people hacking into your BMS to do something. If you monitor it look over settings every now and again maybe just...

    There is no short supply of degenerates in America's BLM and National Forest lands.

    Love the BLM we do not have this over on the East coast and when I go to the West (Colorado) for some nice trail runs I respect the wilderness and the BLM's. In July I'll be back out there in a Van hope to find some good spots that the van is capable of getting too. I will be taking my...

    Fairings for “up and over” installs?

    I don't have any input but just love the massive solar farm on that beast lol. I would end up trimming around the sides with some plastic piece with vents for cosmetics really other than that I think a fairing would be good to have on the front.

    B is for Build

    Well his last video made me cringe a bit. But they will learn as they go with this build and the solar setup is from Harbor Freight and inverter along with two generators. Just an update.

    Went with 18650 Battery Store, 4 x CALB 305Ah "Grade B" Cells...VERY Pleased - Tested at 325Ah!!!

    I have been needing just one EVE 280 but they started selling them with different post so therefor it will not work with my battery pack. I would say a grade B would fit right in with my other cells. I just have this one cell that is not performing well and pulling the whole pack down...

    CATL or EVE?

    I'm loving my CATL Cells from Docan so far. The EVE ones I have one of the 4 is weak and is causing low voltage cutoff when high amps are pulled from it. It has been an issue for some time and so I ordered the 4 CATL cells replaced the EVE's in the solar generator. Planned to build another...

    Aims Industrial Inverter (95% efficient) vs Victron (91%) -- Apples to Apples?

    Just make sure you buy the Victron from a reputable company as you can not go direct to Victron with any issues you end up having to go through whom you purchased through.

    Push button for inverter pre charge switch? Momentary switch ok??

    Thanks for adding this update as I've been searching for a few solutions as my JK BMS is having issues when I go turning on my Samlex inverter. I have a portable setup and only need the inverter time to time so I also do not like the parasitic draw and like having it off until needed. Due to...

    Renogy DCC50S or Kisae DMT1250?

    I am still concidering one of these two myself for backup charging my portable setup. Would be great to even mount it in my Aux battery build to my main solar generator. At the same time I think having one of these just mounted in the car with the car's solar running through would be better...

    10-4 be a little bit getting to that point but I have not notice any of the above on my current one on the main battery pack. I rebuilt my unit took out chargery and replaced with a JK so I received it I think before winter. So it seems at least Q4 2022 on if ordered direct the units should...
