Hey, @nelsonjrgomes, I was wondering if this worked out for you. I got some brand new EG4-LifePower4 Lithium Battery 48V 100AH. One of them gave me an 87.50 Ah on the first capacity test. I have cycled it a bit to no avail. Cell #9 keeps triggering the low voltage disconnect. But the only...

Checks out. Thank you. Well, that answers my question. Thank you.

Hi. I'm aware of the general recommendation of class-T fuses for 48V LiFePO4 systems over ANL fuses. But what about cheap and unreviewed class-T fuses vs known and well-reviewed ANL fuses? Specifically this uncharacteristically underpriced eBay fuse vs this common Amazon ANL fuse. Thanks.

The Eco The EcoFlow Delta is limited to 10 amps. Let's say those three panels produce a max of 5 amps each. If they are connected in parallel, they can produce 15 amps total but the Delta will only accept 10 amps. Generally, these solar stations have charge controllers designed for series...

He posted it here.

It may have OVP, but I was concerned with investing in panels that the Bluetti wouldn't accept. That said, the voltage before plugging in was about 61V and everything was fine. And the panels when combined should do 480W, but when cold and facing the sun midday, they went over 500W for a bit...

It's not far from an electrical outlet. I was thinking of hacking a three prong extention and using the ground line only connected to the house. Is that a thing people do?

Just completed this solar panel setup inspired by Will's 600W sawhorse array. I used door hinges to secure the panels, which ended up being the perfect size. RICH SOLAR 160 Watt Polycrystalline Solar Panels (x3) Stanley 22 in. Folding Sawhorse (2-Pack) 8ft 2x4 2 in. Zinc Plated Narrow Utility...

How strict is it? I ordered 3 RICH SOLAR 160 Watt panels with a Open Circuit Voltage of 22.3V. Multiplying by three gives a voltage of 66.9V. I chose those because when I ordered the 2400, I got an email from Maxoak that said it could accept 68V. Am I cutting it too close with those panels?

I finally got the Bluetti 2400Wh. I used a 50' AmazonBasics 12/3 SJTW Extension Cord, a watt meter and a 1000 watt electric burner. The voltage went from 110.10 to 109.25 when turning on the burner.

My new Maxoak Bluetti 2400Wh EB240 just arrived and I was surprised to find that it comes with a new AC charger that puts out 220W DC. The Amazon page still says that it comes with a 160W charger. Not quite as good as the 450-500W you can get from DIY solutions or solar, but I'll take the 37.5%...

A 12 gauge extension cord would help.

I can't find it now. If think he took it down.

It would be kinda cool to do something like that to the Bluetti. But instead of expanding the capacity, it is to have external access to the battery for a sligtly more powerful external inverter.

Hello, everyone. Is there an optimal configuration of non-identical panels? Say I have two Goal Zero Boulder 100 Watt panels but I want to get two additional RICH SOLAR 100 Watt panels. If the charge controller requires that I have two in parallel and two in series to get the most power out of...

Your links don't seem to work. I don't own the Bluetti yet but I've been researching. Seems like you have bad units. According to reviews, quality is all over the place. This is the one I would most likely get. It has better reviews. I also discussed it in this threat.

Here are some videos by Will, in case you are not familiar with his channel. He reviews some CALB and aluminum case cells (like CATL) that he liked. He discussed the differences, benefits and deficits. Cheapest Aliexpress LiFePO4 CALB Cell Reviewed Testing a New LiFePO4 BMS, 12v Battery Build...

That's a tall order. There are a lot of variables around what you want and what can be sourced locally. There are A LOT of local services that can do installations. If you want to do it yourself, there is a good local store in Caguas that sells to individuals (they sell car parts but have an...

Thanks. The surge should be around 864w and the Bluetti can do 1000w continuous. It should run the fridge for like 10 hours if it consumes about 130w on average.

I'm planning on getting a Bluetti to power my fridge on a blackout and just found out that this power station outputs 110v. My Maytag fridge runs on 115v and requires 7.2a for full load. I contacted Maytag and they just quoted the manual: "Your specific refrigerator has the electrical...

Thanks. I also have a bad habit of, after hours of searching, finally stumbling into the answer after I make a forum post. I found a YouTube review that uses a similar power supply. ?‍♂️

Sorry. Fixed it.

The Bluetti comes with a 160W AC charger. Could you connect a 480W adjustable DC power supply (10A, 48V max) such as this to triple the charging speed?

That charger has two terminals for positive and two for negative 12V DC. So you should be able to connect each battery separate like so: (image borrowed from NOCO) The question then is, how to make sure that they are evenly charged. I'm guessing that's where a BMS comes in.

Did you get it? How did it work for you? Does the Bluetti get hot while charging at 500W? Also, would something like this work? I'm asking because I already own it. But I doubt that it can work because this charger is designed to "sense" the voltage of a 10S lithium ion battery pack and adjust...

Nice. I bet you made Jehu happy. :) What I've never been clear on is how many amps can go through the DIY power strip. Edit: I just saw the video and he said it's made of 1oz copper. I'm guessing it can handle quite a bit.

From an Amazon user:

Usually, inside the fridge there is a label with "max current" or "full load current" or "full load amps". Use that to calculate the maximum watts.

Thanks, man. Apparently, some vape pens use 18650s. But maybe we can make a 36V hookah that could use these battery packs. One of the packs I got had a voltage of about 12V. I'm guessing the BMS was bad. The seller immediately sent a replacement and didn't ask for the original back. So I...

Has about 825 Wh of usable power and about 650W of continuous AC output. The door on the left has wires for the solar panels, and the solar input is displayed on the left screen. The right screen displays battery capacity. The right door has wires for an external AC charger. Main components...

Don't know if this translation is helpful, but here you go: Also, I think it's very disingenuous to condition the refund on removing the review.

So the pair of blade fuses on the inverter board need to be identical? You can't combine a 10A and a 15A? If there are two sockets, you can't use a single 25A fuse?

I'm still waiting for a reply from the manufacturer. But does this reply from the eBay seller seem adequate to anyone? So the pair of blade fuses on the inverter board need to be identical? You can't combine a 10A and a 15A? If there are two sockets, you can't use a single 25A fuse? Edit...

I bought a 800W Reliable Inverter and I'm having a problem with the internal fuses. They don't allow adequate DC power input for the rated power output. What extra fuses did yours come with in the bag? For a 3000W output, you'd need 276A from the 12V battery.
