Just a temporary charger while I wait on a victron BT model . Cells complete with Copper buss bars and Paddle pop stick separators!
Compression of course .
BMS to come and active balancer..just waiting on connectors
Inverter is 1000w for testing and learning . Going up to 2500W with this one soon.

Set up the cells as 100Ah 48 volt battery
200Ah 24 volt battery which it is now and
400Ah 12 volt battery if you want that.
Attachments to suit of course.

Solar panels are 2 off 250 watt -parralel for this controller but going series with the next.

Don't know why it displays full photos too when I choose thumbnails?

Nice! Why did you go with this style battery vs something like a Battle Born? I ask because I’m trying to come up with a 24 volt system right now.
 
Ah, of course. The same reasons I’d use once I found that kind of “workmanship”. Thanks.
 
What setup will you be running your batteries at ? 24 or 48? I’d like to do the same as you; I have 4x190w panels, 40a epsolar Mppt charge controller and 2k watt 48v pure sine wave inverter ; but no batteries. Can you enlighten me on the pricing and Amperage draw per hour - on your batteries? Thanks Nefris.
