    304Ah 16S Battery Build

    Either way, killer box and it looks great! I'm going to model something similar to this, just need handles since it will be going in and out of a 5th wheel! Thanks for the inspiration!

    304Ah 16S Battery Build

    Love the box, only question is I didn't see any support for your handles from the inside of the box, will those handles with wood screws be strong enough to carry the 200+ pounds of weight? Solid build!!

    Crate Build: 1200 wh, 24 Volt, 300 Watt Inverter.

    Very cool setup, and thanks for the links. What's the intended purpose of this once you've got all the bugs figured out?

    The "Meg" Build

    @Lt.Dan If you have a Lippert 3.0 system (same as mine) I just measured my center jack at 98 amps when initializing the auto-level system then it settled to 72 amps as it drove down. On the final level it measured 114 amps for several seconds. I have the same 80 amp breaker and sent an email...

    The "Meg" Build

    Yes, I did look at the specs on this but not knowing the particular model and his comment on not wanting to spend the money on the 13.8v the most common model only supplies 20 amps. Thanks for the wokeism comment on being tactful....go ahead and move along....

    The "Meg" Build

    Don't most of these converters have a max output of 20 Amps? I know my slide/leveling motors use more than that. I like Hedges idea of having a dedicated 12v system for just that, might solve those issues?

    Overkill Solar 4s BMS not correctly showing cell 4

    Overkill Solar is awesome, without hesitation they are sending me a new unit. If you're on the fence about a BMS I hope you check out Overkill Solar, they stand behind their product and customer service is top notch.

    Overkill Solar 4s BMS not correctly showing cell 4

    Also, if i disconnect the B- from the battery the other 3 cells go to near zero with cell 4 remaining the same.

    Overkill Solar 4s BMS not correctly showing cell 4

    So BMS is showing cell 4 at 3.358v but several multimeters show 3.63v and its grayed out. I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting to no avail per the manual. I've checked the wire connected and its not broken, it shows 3.63v on multimeter as its connected to the battery, any assistance is...

    Strut channel for roof of RV

    Makes sense! I was scratching my head LOL thinking that the nutplate was in a groove that held it in the channel but this sounds pretty easy too. Thanks for explaining!

    Battery Box Build

    I've been waiting for this! Great work! Where did you get your wire from for your SCC etc? Looks way more flexible than mine! I can't wait to see this thing fired up! I was wanting to go 24V but now I think i'm going to go with the new Victron Multiplus II...just fits the weekend warrior...

    Looking for 180-210 watt solar panels in Las Vegas!

    Anyone know where to get solar panels that are 26.75 inches wide? There for the top of my 5th wheel, looking for 10 or so. Thanks! Travis

    Battery Box Build

    Following, fellow 5th wheel traveler here too. Currently have 8 Xuba 280Ah 4s2p 12v config looking to do something like this. I might have missed it in another thread but how are you connecting to your 5th wheel electrical?

    Eve 280AH capacity testing

    That's exactly the plan. After this i'll set the overcharge pack voltage to 3.6v with the BMS and undercurrent will be set to 12.6 by the inverter. I just want to see what i get out of these!

    Eve 280AH capacity testing

    That's the plan once I completed the capacity test. I was seeing if anybody did anything different for just this approach to safely squeeze every bit of Ah out of our batteries for the test. Once the battery is completed and in the system my inverter will be setup to safely shutdown before the...

    Eve 280AH capacity testing

    Question for you guys, what are you setting your BMS pack undervoltage at? I have an Overkill Solar and it defaults as 10.0V and individual cell at 2.8V. Is 10.0V too low or should I set it to 12.6 according to the thumbnailed LifeP04 voltage chart for a capacity test? Thanks

    My 6X8 off-road trailer build, 24V, 2000VA, 600W Solar

    This is simply one of the cleanest, well thought out builds I've seen in awhile. Very excited to see posts of this in the future in use! You should have made a Youtube channel and posted this build. Inspiration to many and I would love to see some links to some of the products you purchased...

    600w solar, DIY 280ah 24v LIFEPO4 build thread for travel trailer.

    So did you swap it from a 2P4S 12V to 8S 24V?
