This was a sample product from a supplier, we have decided to hold off on rack mount batteries for the time being. Only 1-2 cycles, if that. Grade A cells. Jaibaida (JBD) BMS with Bluetooth app. Front slightly dented out of the box, seen in photo with a multimeter. (cosmetic only) Looking for...

Strange you're getting all zeros for the AP name. I would suspect a bad unit.

Some JBD BMS's have the CAN protocol (at least on paper) and some do not. I've looked at several of their datasheets and it varies. I'll attach the English versions I have here for the 24/36/48V boards, I get them from the sales agent I work with. You would need to look at the datasheet for...

Small correction, Change... server-us-growatt.com to... server-us.growatt.com (mind the dots) I spent a few hours going round and round with my router and resetting the dongle, only to realize the default server programmed in the dongle is server.growatt.com, but needs changing to the US...

The "oops" batteries were from another supplier. They used a different dongle. Thanks for pinging me on this thread.

This was a very amicable back and forth conversation over several days, trying to resolve the perceived issue. We exchanged a lot of battery pics and notes trying to resolve this. That said, I would like to clear up a few points from the owner's point of view. From our conversation...

I know this thread is a couple of months old, but for posterity's sake... Yes, reBel batteries can be put in series for up to 48 volt systems (51.2V Nominal). Thanks for the mention @JoeHam

@doug_or They did arrive and are in stock on the website. No changes, I'll be doing videos on the 200/300 this week so stay tuned!

Sneak peak of the newer female terminals on the metal case 100Ah battery. This also has a lid-mounted BMS for better heat dissipation, and an internal crossbar to hold down the cells. Video coming soon.

Yes, the last shipment was all-male terminals, our May shipment and going forward are all female, should be in hand within 10 days. @Grumman Olson Sorry you find them to be too short. I can send you a couple of M8 couplers, that would turn the male into a female and allow you to use them with...

@OnTheRoadAgain Yes, I should cut open another and there are plans to, things are a little crazy at the moment. In the meantime, I have just pinned a comment on the video about the wire improvement. :)

Aric, reBel Batteries owner here. I've mentioned it in another thread, the wires were upgraded to 6 AWG silicone or two 8 AWG silicone, I gave my supplier the option, either being more than sufficient to handle loads of 100 Amps continuously. We're only shipping the improved version now. In...

@OnTheRoadAgain Amazon and eBay both collect taxes for almost all states. We only have to collect taxes for Texas shipments. That's one advantage. And we keep the price a little lower on our website, since we don't pay Amazon(15%) and eBay(10%) fees. It's against the forum rules to post...

Here you can see the AutoCAD wireframe... In addition to switching to female terminals, we're also added a metal restraining bar instead of foam. And the BMS is air-gapped from the cells.

Owner here. Also of note, we have changed the terminal from male to female on the next batch of batteries incoming, due in June. So you'll be able to stack them on and just use a longer bolt when needed. A bus bar or M8 coupler nut would be good alternative solutions for anyone that's already...

Sur Yes. Email me at support (@) rebelbatteries (dot) com and I'll send you an invoice. They arrive tomorrow and already only a few left.

I'm the brand owner (Aric) and yes the 100Ah can in fact be connected in series (up to 48 volts) or parallel up to 400Ah. We coincidentally use the same BMS (in both the plastic and metal case now) that Will recently reviewed from overkill solar and gave a favorable review on. The JBD SP04S028...

@HRTKD We only use a small Generac 2200 peak, 17000 continuous generator. It's a pull-start. Merging that with the battery through the Quattro inverter powers anything we throw at the system. Except 2 A/C units running. Once the generator is running, it takes about 15-20 seconds for the...

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. I explained that I had covered all the basics of a BMS through alternative relays and temp monitors. This Tesla battery was protected from under-temp, over/under volt, and over current. What more could a few hundred dollars do? Maybe keep the cells...

No BMS. I had a heating pad and relay to protect from freezing temps. Although we never saw less than 40 degrees, even in the winter we bounced from Florida to Texas and stayed warm enough to never worry about it. Over voltage was protected by a voltage monitoring relay connected to the...

I originally bought Will's book thinking I would build my system from it. While a great resource, I ended up basing my install mostly on Tom Morton's (of Morton's on the Move) setup but changed where needed to fit my needs. We used this system as we traveled the country for about 2 years...
