50ah is too narrow for the ears to bolt on to a standard 19" server rack. Edge to edge on the ears is only a little over 17".

My bad @Will Prowse didnt even realize you posted an affiliate link / discount code in your video. So version 3 is actually $839 right now with coupon code "SOLARWILL" on amazon

Unfortunately i already have a standard 42U rack with 21U available, i was hoping to fill with 7 3U since eco-worthy was one of the only companies with 3U sized batteries
Yeah, not a fan of those guys. "Our opinions can not be bought" ... except they're clearly wh*res for one specific brand, for the most part.they must have forgotten to put the ears in the box.
these guys must have said "no handles" 5 or more times in their video
Hey guys, these Dinguses are back with a video out about these now-
Same folks who made this video on the Chargeverter I posted awhile back-

Thanks He did respond and got me some certifications for shipping.
107ah to charge back up from a 106.9ah discharge, at a 1C rate. Round trip efficiency around 99%.
Has anyone had any issues with this battery in the last few weeks? I have not been able to keep an eye on this thread lately. Any quality control issues?

What is a 1C charge rate on that battery? Is it 54A or 100A or ?
It seems most batteries want a 0.2C continuous charge rate, but can do up to a 1C.

1C is 100A, recommended charge is 50A.

Will is this the secret ecoworthy device you were testing or that still in the wings?
This was the secret device. Couldn't release it till yesterday at a specific time.
I like their channel, although lately theyve had different guys talking.

None that I have read about. There was one with a dead BMS but they replaced the battery and he kept the old one. That is pretty rare but they took good care of him.

Thank you. I assume that if you have two in parallel, that charging at 100 A continuous is ok, and if you have four of the server rack batteries in parallel, you can charge at 200 A continuous?
I am unaware of a solar charge controller that can charge at that high level, and I think the highest amperage mine can do is 150 A. But I have two of them so I guess in theory I could be pushing out 300 A to huge my bus bar.

I would rather have more batteries and a lower 0.25 C rate (25A)

Once your bank gets big enough that becomes part of the design, at least for us addicts

The 600V Midnite Hawkes bay 120 can do 120A, the barcelona can do 200A over two trackers. Victron has the 450/200 with 200A over 4 trackers with 4kw per tracker max.
If you dont have the solar to push the sccs to their limits then there's prob minimal risk of excessive charge current.

5600 W in one series string could maybe exceed the 200A. not going to try and find out. running 4 strings in parallel, but considering doing 2 strings in parallel with more panels per string. But shading issues, so probably not.
I don't think will still loves the 450/200 due to the fan noise, but not sure. Said it was really loud.
My larger victron SCC are dead silent, and I like having redundant SCCs. Didn't love initial cost, but that's okay.

Is that a screen shot of the Eco-worthy app?

It's not that loud at all but would definitely affect his video recordings with background noise. If you have a cerbo and are worried about charge rates it's very simple to enable dvcc and put a global charge limit in place.

V3: Beyond. For More.
Thanks to Will's insightful review and your keen interest. Now, let's unveil every remarkable evolution of the V3 battery:Dual Safety. Unbreakable.
V3 introduces dual protection with a circuit breaker and shunt trip, ensuring disconnection even if the BMS fails. Worry-free safety.Limitless Expansion. Future-Proof.
The DIP switch upgrades to 6 positions, allowing seamless parallel connection of up to 32 batteries. Your energy storage system now has endless possibilities.Unified Standard. Simpler Connections.
Positive and negative terminals are now left-positive, right-negative, aligning with industry standards for effortless wiring.Ultimate Security. Precision Engineering.
Recessed mounting screws eliminate short-circuit risks. Safety, elevated.Real-time Insight. All on One Screen.
The RS232 port now includes 14V power supply, perfectly adapting to external displays for more convenient monitoring.Smart Design. Seamless Upgrade.
While slightly taller at 14.3cm, the mounting ears remain unchanged. Your existing ECO-WORTHY rack will still fit it perfectly.Resilient Core. Fearless Performance.
The cell connecting plate upgrades to a "n"-shaped design, effectively addressing extreme expansion for stable, reliable power.You might also be wondering:
Q: Can V3 and V2 be connected in parallel and communicate?A: Yes, their battery DIP switch settings follow the same principle. It is recommended to use the V3 battery as the master battery. Due to the limitation of DIP switch positions, V2 and V1 batteries should be within the first 15 positions.
Q: What should I note when paralleling V3 and V2?
A: 1. The positive and negative terminals are reversed, so choose your connection cables carefully. 2. Refer to the above Q&A for battery address settings.
Q: Can V3 connect to a display via the 232 port to monitor the entire battery bank? Can V2 do this?
A: V3 can. V2 cannot. If you mix V2 and V3, ensure V3 is the master battery and connect the display to its 232 port.
Q: Do I need to update my JBD PC software to support 32 parallel units?
A: Yes. Please visit: https://app.eco-worthy.com:7778/Download/BMS-Tool&Drive-for-Windows.zip
Q: Do I need to update my mobile app to support 32 parallel units?
A: Yes. Please update the "Lithium Battery IoT Cloud" app to version 1.6.6 (the app will prompt you to update).
Q: Does the V3 version have a handle?
A: Absolutely! Will's review sample had a missing accessory, and we're arranging an immediate replacement for such cases.
Every evolution of the V3 is designed to deliver an even more exceptional experience.
