    Single BMS for 4s2p?

    In Will's blueprints he has a single BMS managing a 4s2p cell setup. Is it ok to do it or just spend the $100 for another BMS? The one I have is a overkill solar 120A 4s BMS. Thanks TP

    BMS assistance

    Fellow DIYers. I have my 8 Eve 280Ah cells and committed to a 24v (8s) system for my 5th wheel. All I need is a BMS. Right now I’m looking for simplicity.

    Take look at my schematic please?

    Please review my schematic. It's going into a 2018 5th wheel to power a residential fridge, 12v lights, water pump and occasionally a television. My unknown's are the type of converter that came with the RV and whether it has the capability to charge lithium. RV has a 1200 watt inverter but...

    What size charge controller?

    Ready to pull the trigger and begin my build. I have access to these 315 watt panels at a very good price ($75 each) and was wondering what would be suggested for 2x panels but maybe room for a third? I was considering a Victron 150-50, any help is appreciated!

    Best 12v battery setup? 2 x 4s or a 2s4p?

    I have 8 Xuba 280 Ah batteries on the way to put in my RV. Is it best to just make two 12v batteries and put a BMS on each one or make a 2s4P and use a single per https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/design-your-own-12v-lifepo4-system.html setup? Or should I ditch it all and make a 24v battery...

    Good enough for RV boondocking?

    Found these on aliexpress. Looking for an alternative to batteborn and found these. I could essentially have 300Ah on a 12v system. Just not sure on reliability or functionality. I found where I could get a case and it would be stored inside, just so new to this lithium and so many sites popping...
