Which does not include the extended warranty that Current Connected provides.

That's not what was stated. The point was that the cells will age before you can take advantage of the extra cycles by compressing. EVE even added additional information to the new MB30 spec sheet for another criteria that could "kill" your cell before the cycle count: The cell life is...

Actually he referenced a German engineer who worked in the battery industry.. see video that is referenced in description of this video:

And thankfully no pallet fork holes! :)

This was interesting excerpt when reading the manual of the Class-T version of Lynx: The orientation of the Class-T fuses is important because their connection flanges are not always straight, regardless of the manufacturer. If the connection flanges are not lying flat on the busbar, turn the...

It's idle power + whatever other power your house needs.. so it isn't just "when your system is idle". There are some really high "idle" systems that are 200W so that's 4.8kWh extra per day no matter what you have to generate. A higher quality system could easily be only 1.4 kWh per day.

Asking because I really want to know but I do not see why the resistance between all the batteries need to be the same with LiFePO4. Sure, one set of batteries will work harder but what difference does that make in real world? The other batteries with more resistance will still provide some...

Like so:

I brought it out last summer and it wouldn't blow any cold air anymore. You can tell the compressor wasn't kicking on. There was no issue with it for the previous 2 summers.

Will noise be an issue? I don't know if I've seen anyone comment specifically on noise levels for the 6000XP but it is something you need to verify if that would be an issue where it is placed.

My U shaped died after only 2 summers.

Snow for Northern MN as well later this week :rolleyes: What I can't get over is why in the USA triple pane windows are a niche product and in Europe you can get them at big box stores.

What is recommended for below 0°F temps? I remember there was supposed to be some new models coming out now/soon that were made to work better in colder temps?

You must have missed when Magnum went AWOL and everyone was wondering if they were going bankrupt.

I would keep an eye on THE ONE.

Make sure you use a Grundfos well pump which does not have any power surge. To give you some idea, I installed a 14.4kW array last year using those exact panels (QCELL) along with a Sinclair ground mount system for them and total for the array, mount, and cement was well under $20k. FYI...

I thought in other thread(s) this was to help prevent any selling back of power to the grid. Originally when it was set too low there was still potential for power to be sold back to grid even when you weren't allowed too. Upping the amount of power being imported "fixed" the issue. This...

I don't think there is a standard definition of what a cycle is but in general it would be from 100% to 20% during a day. It does not matter if it fluctuates during the day. So if you aren't going from 100% to 20% during the day then it would not be considered a cycle.

If there is enough of an air gap between cells that shouldn't be an issue.. it's just that in order to get that air gap you'd either have to have custom busbar cell connectors, try to drill holes in the standard busbar, or arrange you cells in suboptimal arrangement that takes up more space to...

The solar panel voltage does not matter like you think it does. This is common misconception with new people that somehow you have to have the right panel voltage to match the battery voltage. A solar charge control like Mattb4 mentioned can take wide range of voltages for different panel...

Still in northern MN. But don't obviously have to keep it consistently going now. It's used to cook on as well but it starts getting to the point where you don't want that heat anymore. But wife loves the 2' x 4' cooking area. Switching to the electric hot plate to cook means you only can...

If you are cycling 1 or 2 times per day in a stationary setup then it is poorly designed and/or configured. But otherwise if you did have 1 or 2 cycles per day then yes, it would be advantageous to compress.

I hope there are plans to expand this in the future since this isn't ideal for long term accessibility. You could easily get in a situation where the app no longer works on current phones especially if this equipment may last over 10 years. An additional web based version would obviously...

Imagine a boat dock with a lot of slips with boats close together. You could easily be within range of someone else's BT and mistakenly change someone else's which was within range. Granted changing the pin would alleviate that case but it is still a critical piece that if someone does alter...

Do you have a BMS for the 48V battery then? What is the voltage of the highest and lowest cell? A JK BMS for instance can have a 2A active balancer built-in which depending on how far off the cells are could balance them relatively quickly. Otherwise I've let my JK BMS balance cells out over...

Yeah, I think there is confusion since it sounds like the term "battery" by the original poster is being used incorrectly here. It sounds like he has 8 280Ah cells which he wants to use as a single 24V (8 cells) battery?

It is worth noting that Victron did go out of their way to allow completely disabling of Bluetooth on their charge controllers.

Are those Philips bulbs available now somewhere?

Is there any current restrictions on what can be talked about/revealed until a certain date? The few vids available doesn't actually really reveal anything that you couldn't get by reading the specs.. although last video did mention being able to run loads with ONLY PV power available which was...

Still waiting for someone to open the top of that so we can see what it looks like, especially since it is supposed to be user-serviceable. Also just looks a lot smaller then a 18kPV. Other thing still missing info on is the software side.

Probably would help if you indicated what the ambient temp is where it is located and how much power is going through the system at that time.. both inverting and PV power.

@HighTechLab Have you thought about carrying the Grundfos line of well pumps and accessories since that keeps coming up as what someone should be using especially when installing a new well?

Do you have reference?

Also of somewhat related interest, when I purchased Kyocera KD315GX panels at that time they were considered large and they even put an aluminum brace across the middle back of the panel for extra structural support. That's also why I would be worried about these huge panels that don' even have...

Just remember there is huge differences in "lugs". A $2 lug is likely not going to be the same as a $8 lug. For the same lug size, if they provide weight that would be a good indication of how much copper was used since I've seen some really thin ones compared to the named brand ones from...
