I’m going to be adding a Victron Smart Shunt to my system. The battery bank is 24V consisting of four 6V lead acid batteries. Is it better to setup the shunt for mid-point monitoring or do I forgo mid-point monitoring and go with temperature monitoring? It doesn’t appear I can go with both...

Have a pair of fairly new Crown 6V CR-235’s wired in series for 12V. Every time I charge them up to 100% at around 12.7V (6.35V each), within a couple hours the banks voltage settles down to 12.4V (6.2V per battery). Has anyone else experienced anything like this before? 12.4V is about 80%...

Today I received 8x EVE LF280K's with the new terminal design from 18650batterystore.com. I ordered them on Monday but didn't expect to see them so soon because their website said ETA OCT 25th, they must of had some left from the previous shipment. They all look great but a couple cells do...

If you have built a pack using the new EVE LF280K cells featuring the new, dual stud, terminals, please show me some of your photos and are you using the standard bus bars that came with the cells or one of the flexible bar options from aliexpress? I just pre-ordered 8 cells from the next batch...

Is there any difference, other than their labels, between the CurrentConnected or Overkill Solar BMS's? Only apparent difference is the CC version only has M6 terminals, the Overkill Solar is available with pre-soldered leads, terminals, or bare connection. Trying to figure out which one to...

Hi new friends. Five years ago, I moved to the Missouri Ozarks to begin living an off-grid lifestyle in the woods. Up until September of 2021, I was living a very primitive off-grid existance on some very remote 5 acres that was difficult to access. It was fun and I finally upgraded from...

Anyone have sources on where to find good deals on panels, new or used, within reasonable driving distances of south-central Missouri? I have one store very close to me, Missouri Wind and Solar, but all of their panels are around $1/watt before sales tax. They appear to be nice panels...
