Hi everyone, i have a gas heater on my campervan and i was wondering if there's a way to count the running time of the heater. I was thinking of connecting a timer to the heater's LED, wich comes on when is running. I don't know if something like this exists, i tried to search for it online but...

Hi everyone, I'm writing this to explain my experience with the 300A Daly BMS. When i received the BMS it looked like it had another sticker beside the "Q.C. Passed" one, but it was removed. On top of that, the plastic between the cooler fan and the rest of the BMS, appears to be melted. I...

The lugs on my Daly BMS were M10, so it mached the smart shunt bolts. But mine was the 300A one. You might be ok with drilling a bigger hole in the bms lugs, but only if you have a good few milimeters left on the walls after. The busbar sound like a safer option. By the way, what a piece of...

Hi everyone, i finally finished the electrical system on the van...sort of...not 100%. This project took waaay longer than i thought, most of the time i was waiting for parts to arrive. Since last time, i made some modifications to the initial design based on your advice, i added a 65A Battery...

I have two sets of solar pannels, 2x160W and 2x350W, both sets connected in series. The smaller SCC is for the 160W panels. The 350W ones connect to the EasySolar's MPPT. I don't think there's a efficient way to connect the pannels so that they'll all use the Easysolar instead. Yeah, i should...

I'm not skipping it, as you can see, i'm adding one. I wanted not to initially, but all the replies i got changed my mind. Thanks.

I made the updated schematic which includes the BMS and the Victron Smart Shunt (500A) The Smart shunt will connect to the CCGX of the EasySolar along with the smaller MPPT through the VE.Direct ports. And since the reading from the Smart shunt will be the main voltage reading source which all...

Not sure if the question was adressed to me, but i'm not going with the Overkill, it's a bit too small for what i need. Me too! ?

Communication with Daly is not great, the language barrier is a problem. I asked them a few questions but i get irrelevant answers. Q: Being a common port, how does it reset after it disconnects from a undervoltage/overvoltage situation? A: Our bms protects the voltage of each string of...

I want the separate port BMS too, but the biggest one Daly has is only 40A on the charger side... I sent them a message asking them how does the BMS gets reset, hopefully i'll get an answer soon. I saw Will saying you have to short the P- to the B-, but maybe there's another way on the newer...

How will the sistem be restarted if it disconnects both charging and discharging?! If it's a undervoltage situation and it cuts down charging as well, isn't that creating a situation where the sistem can't restart on it's own? The opposite goes in an overvoltage situation, isn't it? It's sound...

That's a great price! The cheapest Victron Multiplus 24/3000/70 i found is €1400 and the Smartsolar MPPT 100/50 is €400 Edit: the GX device is €500 alone...

I saw there are two kinds, the separate port BMS has 150A max. Not sure i understand the differance between them completely... I found a post on this forum asking the difference between them and Will gave this answer: "''Also, I posted this elsewhere sometime ago: Quick update for advanced...

It sure is not the cheapest option out there, quite the opposite, but i'm counting it's very good quality and has a great warranty, so my hope is this will last long enough to worth it's money.

I was surprised to find out this is cheaper than buying the components separetely. A similar size inverter + a smaller mppt from Victron would cost me almost the same. An inverter/charger + mppt like the Easysolar has costs €2500+, that's without the GX color controller and all the other...

That's true, I might need to power a bigger load in the future and it's nice to be able to do so. I really apreciate your input and i am taking it into account. Yes, it has a GX color contol They do It is €1900, but that's the cheapest price i found from a Victron distributor. It's usually...

I don't like pushing things to the max either, as you can see even with the smaller mppt. The Easysolar is 3000VA with a power factor of 0.8, wich is 2400W, 94% efficiency. Plus i don't have anything that draws more than 2000W, more like 800W-1600W 99% of the time. But even so, i understand is a...

Thank you all for the detailed answers You're right, i don't have any experience. The cells are grade A and they are well matched, but i guess you can't be 100% sure about that when they come from China. By conservative limits you mean depth of discharge? I intend on having a 80% DoD...

Thanks for the advice Is it necessary to fuze every positive wire on the circuit?

Thanks for the reply Ok, so the battery cells are very well matched. I heard it from Will in one of his videos talking about people using the cells without a BMS for years with no problem. Anyway you recomend a BMS and ditch the battery monitor because is not needed then? or keep them both? What...

Hi everyone, I'm planning to build this electrical system for my van conversion and i need some help and advice from you guys. I'll attach a rough/early schematic version of the electrical system and its components for you to tell me if it's wired correctly, plus what else do i need to add to...

Hello, i'm a beginer designing a solar system for my van, and i need some help from you guys. (Please excuse my spelling errors) I've decided on 6 x 100w Renogy mono solar panels, because they are skinny enough that i can fit them around the roof vent and use all the space i have on the roof...
