    Is 140 degrees Fahrenheit too hot for bus bar?

    Hi, I have helped a friend build a really big battery setup for his RV. Here is the basics: * 1800 Amps of 12 battery * Victron Shunt * Victron victron multiplus split phase The question: when charging on city power, the inverter pushes almost 120 amps. The bus bar that is connected to the...

    EG4 batteries+6500EX+Victron charging question

    I have purchased a system that consists of 3 EG4 batteries, 1 - 6500EX and a server rack. I have 9 solar panels that will be connected to the 6500EX. But I also have 6 panels that are connected to a Victron 150/100. My question is: The Victron will be charging the EG4 batteries at the same...

    It seems the Overkill BMS eliminates the need for a shunt

    I've graduated from buying pre-built batteries, such as the Ampertime Battery, to building my own. Love it - should have done it from the very start. But now I am realizing that the Overkill BMS literally tells me everything. I am going to get rid of the lead acid battery in my RV and build...

    First "Build my own" battery

    After watching a ton of Will's videos and reading a ton, I decided I could do it. The Overkill sure has a ton of settings. I'm still researching what is the best settings for 230Ah EVE cells. (Of course if someone has already has the optimal data and wanted to share, it would be interesting...

    Are battery boxes important?

    I am excited to be building my first battery using new EVE cells from Amy (Docan) as recommended by Will. Over the next few months (as the pay checks roll in) I plan on making a couple of more batteries. Question is: How important is a battery box if I'm using all new stuff? I want to keep...

    LiPO Batteries at different AH rating

    I have two AmpereTime batteries that are rated at 200AH wired in parallel in my system. I want to make my own battery, but the cells will give me either 230AH or 280AH. What happens if you add a 280AH battery in parallel into a system that already has two 200AH batteries. Will it basically...

    Starting to ween myself from city power!

    I have never been more satisfied than moving part of my house off grid. This project started as a way to protect the food in my freezers. We dont lose power very often, but when we do it seems it's for a long time. Which means running a generator all the time to save the freezers. This...

    WZRELB Reliable 3000W doesn't seem to output anywhere near 3000

    I purchased a 3000 Watt WZRELB inverter and it runs my lower wattage appliances without issue. However --- if I put something bigger on it, like my air compressor the pulls 1400 Watts, it simply wont run it. For context: I have two Amperetime 200ah lithium 12V batteries running in parallel...
