    Wind add on to current off grid 12v 900 watt solar

    I think you just need to get a controller that supports wind and wire it alongside your existing controller tbh You shouldn't need to change much else after from adding the two wires for positive and negative to the battery/busbar

    Yep I forgot that part auctully Thanks

    That is correct

    Sixtysix 280ah Cells from Deligreen

    Yep That's definitely worth a shot Also got my 3d printer up and running again recently so I might try and get some of the filament and give it a shot if I get round to it lol

    200 AMP Pouch Cells?

    Haha That explains it lol

    Miady 12 volt battery voltage drop?

    Yep Just measured both of my lifepo4 packs I have and they all have the same voltage as yours

    200 AMP Pouch Cells?

    I actually gave no idea tbh I will defn do some research and try and find out though

    Miady 12 volt battery voltage drop?

    the battery voltage will settle to around 13.3 to 13.2 once you take the charger off (about 3.3 volts or so per cell) So no you likely didn't get ripped off tbh

    200 AMP Pouch Cells?

    The model number defn seems to tell me they are 50Ah cells I'd be suprised if they are 200Ah cells tbh...generally the model number is pretty accurate I wonder whether they did a 16s 4p pack (4 cells in parell and then 16 in series)

    Longer cable for my epever mt50

    It's a regular rg45 to rg45 network cable....Any should work just make sure it's a straight through and not a crossover though

    Has not caught fire yet.

    looks amazing Nice job...puts my small 272Ah 200watt system to shame :LOL:

    Simple MT 50 query

    You won't see any load measurement on the charge controller if you don't use the controller load outputs (I think a current shunt and a separate battery monitor is the best way to measure the load anyway tbh....just size it to your amperge though)

    Problem with the DC power supply for top balancing

    It's most likely will tbh I know my power supply (very similar to OPs) had the exact same issue and was sorted that way

    renogy vs victron ecosystem. Which one is superior?

    https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/wiki found their github for it

    renogy vs victron ecosystem. Which one is superior?

    I think you can set something up with a pi and venus os iirc I'll try and find a guide/link on it now

    Sixtysix 280ah Cells from Deligreen

    from what I can read the stock ender 3 can print up to 250 or so that filament needs 220-240 so it might work tbh Main limiting factor with the ender 3 for example is the ptfe tube they used (Simple replacement though with capricorn though gives slightly higher temps iirc)

    EVE 280Ah shipping damage/corrosion

    ouch Hope here parents are doing ok now....

    Sixtysix 280ah Cells from Deligreen

    I know I saw a neat idea on a site for covering the cell busbars before I'll defn have to try and find it tbh....I think it used m6 bolt covers and silcone high temp hose iirc....not 100% though tbh also the ender 3 printers are about 180 on amazon and on sale a fair bit on aliexpress/bangood at...

    All in one settings 12v

    divide the settings by 2 to get the 12 volt settings from a 24 volt system

    https://diysolarforum.com/resources/heli-coils-for-fixing-stripped-threads.162/ this might help

    Top balancing again

    1) set the supply to 3.65volts 2) It's best to balance at 3.65 tbh (use a bms to charge in series first maybe....usually is a lot quicker if the cells are nearly empty) 3) leave till it drops to pretty much zero 4) 3.65 volts is the max for lifepo4 (so about 14.6 is the max charge when in...

    Daly BMS off Amazon - Returns

    Usually the seller pays if it's faulty or the wrong item

    looking for BMS brands/references in Europe

    ah thanks for that I did not know that there was another version lol I hae a GWL CPM style system atm tbh as I like the wide voltage options and it also is about 200-250 in total pretty much

    looking for BMS brands/references in Europe

    the last one looks like the bms123 I think this one https://shop.gwl.eu/Battery-Management/BMS123-Smart/

    Since i was in mood...

    I did the same a few days ago also lol Still have to finish my solar system I'm building under my desk though haha (totally don't just keep putting it off as I need to balance my 4 272Ah cells lol)

    wow Nice job

    Uk solar install 240v & 120v supplies required

    You can feed 240 volt to a transformer to get 120 volt as long as the transformer is rated for it (Most are btw) What transformer is it though and I can check if you want

    Please critique battery box for 272 cells

    teflon tape might be useful for covering metal parts

    Anyone familiar with these SCCs?

    I agree the Epever would defn be better than that controller tbh

    Anyone familiar with these SCCs?
