$400 is probably the discount when you buy 4 of them.Yea it says up to $400 off but no codes. Sounds like out of stock. I'm ready to add another one at the right price
What sort of rack did you use?I got all 7 of my EW batteries this week and mounted in the rack. I am going to get all the data lines setup and see how far out of whack things are. Most of them are around 35% SoC.

This rack thing is a real issue I really hope that someone provides an inexpensive one especially E-W comes out with something that's reasonable if they make it where it'll take 6U batteries it'll sell like hotcakes. Understandably I can see where you don't want your competitor's batteries in your Rack. It does seem like everybody's going to the 3U size.I used this rack: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FL5JZ26
With these supports: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FJG4QCQ
Nope.Is it safe to say that everybody wants wheels?
So far this rack is pretty stable with all 7 batteries in it. Though my shed floor is another story...

I know I sure love them![]()
Yea thus my floor reinforcement comment. I have some 3/4" baltic birch that I am going to put down and also more support for the OSB from underneath. Then I will also anchor it to the wall with lags.The wheels concentrate all of the load in 4 tiny places, which is potentially a really bad day on a wood floor. Especially on modern construction that uses OSB for subfloors.
If you want to use wheels for something so heavy on a wood floor, anchor it to the wall so when the floor deforms the rack won't fall over.
Or remove the wheels and set it flat on the floor.Yea thus my floor reinforcement comment. I have some 3/4" baltic birch that I am going to put down and also more support for the OSB from underneath. Then I will also anchor it to the wall with lags.
Those small casters scare me. I'd be more concerned with upgrading them before strengthening the floor.So far this rack is pretty stable with all 7 batteries in it. Though my shed floor is another story... (reinforcing it today :0))

Those are nice but have a higher "point load" than the casters, unless you use a lot of them. Large diameter and wide rollers would spread the load better.Those small casters scare me. I'd be more concerned with upgrading them before strengthening the floor.
Something like these https://www.harborfreight.com/mater...-casters/6-in-rubber-swivel-caster-61844.html
or these https://www.harborfreight.com/mater...sters/3-in-cast-iron-swivel-caster-58996.html
would likely be much better.
Or a heavy duty version of these might work.

Agreed, that's why I linked the casters first.Those are nice but have a higher "point load" than the casters, unless you use a lot of them. Large diameter and wide rollers would spread the load better.
I haven't gone down that rabbit hole I just got done getting it back together The Wi-Fi's -50 versus -72 which is a massive DB increase. This is someone it rarely uses the Wi-Fi in Bluetooth..Are the dry contacts configurable somewhere? I can't find it in the EW software.
CAN BUS reports the current condition no mater what it is until the BMS turns off. There is a timer that counts down so after a few days of inactivity the BMS may shut down. No current going in or out it goes to sleep.Does anyone know if over CAN bus the Max Discharge Current goes to 0 when the discharge FETS turn off?
Edit: For Pylon protocol.
I am trying to detect over CAN with my control system when all batteries are depleted (discharge FETs off). Preferably I could use the dry contacts if I could configure them (assuming that contact would be change either way in that case and would be more immediate then waiting for a CAN frame), but for now CAN will have to work (I hope).CAN BUS reports the current condition no mater what it is until the BMS turns off.

Do you mind posting pictures of the side profile and the back of this setup with your batteries in it? Thanks.So far this rack is pretty stable with all 7 batteries in it. Though my shed floor is another story... (reinforcing it today :0))

That looks cool - what did you use as shelves/side rails to hold the batteries? Another image would be great.So far this rack is pretty stable with all 7 batteries in it. Though my shed floor is another story... (reinforcing it today :0))
