    Lifepo4 BMS compatibility with LTO

    I was looking up jk bms specs it olny lists 20s to 24s for their bms but a broader range on there active balancer But I did look them up on ebay and found what your talking about

    Lifepo4 BMS compatibility with LTO

    You really don't need a bms but the only one I know designed for round yinlong lto is this but you have to have them made https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/diybms-for-lithium-titanate-battery-cells-lto/16285/54

    BMS for LTO / Lithium Titanate 24-cell string

    Here's a link to lto bms https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/diybms-for-lithium-titanate-battery-cells-lto/16285/54

    BMS for LTO / Lithium Titanate 24-cell string

    You don't need a bms olny a decent why to stop top end charge like mppt charge controller and a balancer most have options for lto I have a 600amp bank in my trailer it needed a two 5amp balancers they swing rapidly out of balance at the top end at least with 40amp yinlongs there's an...

    Anybody ever parallel 2 or more of the the Heltec 5A active balancers?

    Yeah too spendy for me I have 600 amps lto they swing wildly at the top end in a few minutes they can go from balanced to 2.6 to a group of cells to 2.9 while the rest 2.6. The 5 amp balancers only balance at like 1.6a per cell. What side of Washington are you on I'm in spokane. What cells are...

    LTO battery build with latest tech and teachings for offgrid solar

    Hey everyone I found a guy in one of the videos that built a beta bms for lithium titanate based on another bms Here's a link if anyone's interested https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/diybms-for-lithium-titanate-battery-cells-lto/16285/67

    LTO fast charging with what battery charger?

    Here's the link to that custom bms that guy made for that battery system https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/diybms-for-lithium-titanate-battery-cells-lto/16285/67

    LTO fast charging with what battery charger?

    Yeah the guy from the video has pcb plans for a great bms system pretty cool. Round to fit on the end of the cell.

    LTO fast charging with what battery charger?

    From my experience you can parallel multiple if keeping it under top voltage which lead chargers do but I'm pretty sure that it requires dumb chargers computer controlled would need to be connected to talk to each other like mppt charge controllers. I've hooked multiple battery chargers up to my...

    Anybody used these New Batteries Yet ?

    I'm liking mine not having to worry about over discharging them but they aren't energy dense so they take up more space remember it takes 6 for twelve volts vs 4 lifepo4 which is where the extra cost is overlooked at first. But they are superior in safety "fire" charge discharge rates no low...

    LTO fast charging with what battery charger?

    Best bet is looking up fork lift battery chargers

    48V DC Generators from Alibaba

    I was interested in these also was told it couldn't be shipped here because it needs an epa certificate. A person used to be able to find the Italian lombardi low rpm diesels for road sign generators that would charge the battery banks but now they are all solar.

    Lto bank with inverter

    I built a lto battery 320 amp for my rv. I got a deal locally from someone that bought rejected 48v lto batteries new cells built individually in parallel without a balancer causing them to be not charge properly. I plan on doubling the cells; same profile still using the same plates but...

    LTO battery build with latest tech and teachings for offgrid solar

    I bought a bunch of lto cells built into a system that were rejected for being sold built a bank out of them but have extra solenoids for a diy bms which only needs to be over voltage over temp and maybe low voltage if you wanted to would be a nice arduino project here's the specs Zeigler...

    2 Millisecond short

    I'm pretty sure mine each one was a 1000 CCA

    2 Millisecond short

    Yeah many diy people are building their own cause they are tired of replacing them and want the CCA I just wonder how often someone that makes a 30amp starting battery left the lights on and has a dead battery fast. My diesel truck batteries last time I bought then were like $450 ?

    2 Millisecond short

    Lto batteries buy every test I've seen are safer than lead acid ever hear someone you know tell a story of a hydrogen explosion can be like a bomb. A carpenter I knew said they were jumping a dozer and boom!! He said it was miracle no one was hurt and lto I'd say is the safest currently in use...

    Charger 48V 120-150A for LTO/Lithium battery?

    I'm tempted to build my own grab some scrap microwave transformers build a big rectifier and an arduino charging circuit maybe 250amps bigger means dedicated circuit? For lto batteries Arduino

    LTO battery build with latest tech and teachings for offgrid solar

    I'd like to see what you come up with. Sounds like a good idea could get full capacity with any risk.

    LTO fast charging with what battery charger?

    If his battery bank was good sized probably could charge over 600amps it would be one heck of a charger. LTO's have 15 minute charge time! Not anyone would likely charge quite that fast

    Strange readings testing voltage on an all in one unit

    I solved it was strange but I had ran an extension cord with a broken ground prong I replaced it and readings went back to normal. Microwave and fridge lol. The first diagram was the same as mine

    LV6548 et Al Neutral ground bond bad for split phase?

    Lol yeah electricians too different requirements in different states

    Strange readings testing voltage on an all in one unit

    I installed an all in one unit in an rv of mine mppt charger inverter grid tie and discovered crazy volt readings on ac out but only when it's in pass through mode. In inverter mode running off batteries I have normal 120v one neutral one hot. IN pass through mode it looks like 120v split phase...
