For Solar ........Aluminum Channel is popular. It can be cut and drilled for bolting Many use the 2" or 1.5" galvanized pipe for their anchor poles(better corrosion resistance than painted carbon steel, stronger than aluminum)-Others use old fashioned wood 6X6 or similar. Common connection...

I am going to correct you on this statement of it being their "LAST" famous words.. Typically the folks that do this come onto this forum and rant allot and blame blame so they have lots more words that are just as famous after they bloat their cells so by definition it is not their LAST...

It appears that someone somewhere has a sail boat with a dead battery.

No, You missed it then! All arrived on the same slow boat from China to LA Port of Entry. But FEDEx decided to send them from LA in FOUR DIFFERENT FEDEx Deliveries. One went by a completely different route to Sacramento First. One Truck and Driver-one opportunity to mess things up Four Trucks...

My Experience for 20 cells Cost a tad over $110 delivered to California USA -including DDP including Credit Card 2.9% added fee The shipping method required no action on my part other than patience, lots and lots of patience! Donguan chose a shipping agent that arranged everything for a...

Has anyone contacted EVE directly on this ceasing business with individual sells around the world? Which sellers are stating this to be true? I don't think the problem is with the sellers but with the buyers. A major manufacture uses a secondary channel market to maximize profits per Adam...

SUPPORT HELP PLEASE I have an old Samsung 7" tablet with Android 4.4 that I can dedicate to my battery box. The lastest 3.1.1015 can no be parsed on the 4.4 but does work on a old LARGE SAMSUNG 10" Android 5.1 tablet dedicated for other use. I did skimread through all the pages of this thread...

I am assuming you are going to use a BMS. If so most of them will destroy your bottom balance by top balancing them passively by trickle drain down every time they are fully charged, some passive have as much a 150 ma drain down. Some folks here use BMS with active balancing that uses 1 Amp or...

I don't know about other manuals but I thank you for the one you posted. I have the 800W MPP. panels, & batteries set up as a back up UPS so I am saving the manual you posted. I agree a "Better" service manual or for other units would be helpful. As for the horror stories ..... its the Chinese...

Eleven years with no idea and no maintenance is on the long time side of things. The answer to your question: 72Kw-hr for 22 days on a 4.2KW system is totally unacceptable unless you are way up in the artic circle during winter (22 hours of night) or you see your neighbor NOAH building and arc...

If your batteries are new, matched, and balanced the only definable gain with two BMS's is redundancy of system. That is if something happens too one cell or BMS you can still limp along with "half a battery" if you absolutely can not be down at all and having at least half a pack has huge value...

Yep, .....yes sir...... If you can find the same with a different Brand name on it like the one in this thread (HABOTEST) it can be $10 cheaper-if your time is worth that $10 of searching. .....as stated ............if you will only use in doors the one recommended on Will Prowse's sight is...

Not enough information Probably perfectly normal! No worries. Possibly something amiss like cable/lead/connections. Most common reason if amiss is the resistance on one lead/pack/battery/etc is higher than the other lead/pack/battery/etc ......with most likely cause being imabalance from user...

Yep.....voltage and amperage is conditioned by the MPP to a lower voltage and limited current.......set by the settings..... to what the battery likes to digest without damaging them during charging. That's why you spend all that money for this thing. It will stop the charging when the battery...

..............Huh????????????? The Cheap Chinese imports are $250 for such and also my web page says $1,552.32 for the slim one-But as you said AUSD-not USD, the poor Aussie money keeps going down down down......sucks to have those types of dollars these days. Plus on the video one of the...

Yep, Won't stay over 3.5V even if you repeatedly recharge it with a few hundred milliamp/minutes to go back up to 3.65V It might be the "settling" of the battery concept/syndrome some folks use to describe this behavior or that the SOC curve is so steep that a few milliamp self discharge is in...

UPDATE I purchased the multimeter that ghostwriter recommended (Thank you) but from the earlier thread recommended "KAIWEETS"re-brand labeled one instead of this $10 cheaper "HABOTEST" re-brand labeled linked here due to immediate availability-the less expensive seller sold out. For a cheap...

Bummer But learning from your experience at this forum has high value and one reason we keep coming back to read more of these stories. I looked a the sellers feedback, and I would not have expected such behavior and would have been just as trusting. Part of what I am hearing is do not make a...

I have seen a youtuber video testing several types of connections where the SB50 connection melted at 190 Amps. There are several variables besides the connectior, like the crimp, the wire.....

This is a question for the owners manual. What did your owners manual say? Good practice is as mentioned above-This was reinforced in me when I was to impatient with a portable folding 80W panel with a cheap chinese $10 controller that I quickly opened up and deployed in solar condition state...

What is their street pickup address as I could not find it on the website? Without the shipping, prices are better than Santan with shipping, when buying just a few.

Compared to the LV2424 Slightly larger AC inverter at 2.7KW MUCH SMALLER PV charger at 600W instead of 2000W. Looks specific for small RV use.

Maybe Renogy plans to go public.... .........so when the cash payout for those warranties start it will come out of someone else's pocket. Meanwhile they drive up market share and industry interest in their product so the share prices are sky high when the owners sell out to the...

Are you in the USA? Did you use an American Credit Card to pay? If so then you should have given XUBA the opportunity to replace the two missing cells as they are responsible for you receiving them. Its one of the few times that ALIBABA sides with the buyer instead of their Chinese Countrymen...

I vote that you bury it deeper and make it an Apocalypse Shelter. for end of times, just like the media says is happening right now!. Buy a second one-bury it deeper than the first- to use as a cistern......and if you want use it as your own personally underground pool. Buy a third one-bury it...

I had similar, not the exact same, DROK unit. Not Bi-directional as mentioned above so you could not use it to monitor state of charge- just total one way power out of or into the battery-you had to choose which way. It would show ZERO amps and ZERO power used when current flowed the other...

From other posters here and elsewhere ......typically +25 to +35 days before it arrives-clears customs-and handed over to shipper for USA west coast entries. My one received order was exactly+30 days from shipping/receiving tracking number ........to seeing movement on FedEx tracking sight. You...

US based seller in Rhode Island using ebay selling 4 f@ $1000 shipped price. Trade 8-10 weeks of your patience for $140 per cell savings and you can purchase off of AliBaba @~$110 -includes shipping and 2.9% CC fee, but it is literally the slow boat from China. Christopher Columbus was able to...

Maybe the batteries saw its girlfriend in a bikini so the swelling is normal .........and can be relieved by some vigorous suction.... Sorry.....its late on a Saturday night and I could not resist the great setup .......

FYI POSTING For Purchase through Alibaba and the 40 dudes in the sand dunes of Arabia........You will get a trade assurance agreement via/from Alibaba and a contract from the seller posted on the electronic/web page -trade assurance when you order. You can use the contact button to ask for...

Me Thinkem Alien Abduction and using it for that infamous procedure they like to do......... sorry.....could not resist with such a great set up like that! Have a wonderful Saturday Everyone!

It's been 30 years since pulling wire....and I never progressed to journeyman .....and allot may have changed in NEC but.....So this could B**LSH**T answer due to aging. -For code permitting-the inspection agency likes to personally see the setup from self installs, like the depth of the...

Did anyone read the reviews photo on this power supply showing a 1 Volt peak to peak high frequency noise on this sucker! Just thinking.....what would that mean to your battery charging adventure. They would act like a big capacitor to flatten out the noise...... but ..........

Now its your turn to tell the story -I wonder -The forum wonders -The whole world wonders.... Pray tell the tale of the overcharged "8 cells in parallel"
