I Can’t Stop

[Brett V]

When I finished my last battery rack, I said I was done. No more. Was clean for almost 2 years. Sadly I fell off the wagon and ordered another 16 Eve 230Ah cells today.

My first battery was made with the Eve 230’s based on availability at the time and they have served me well. This will make five 16s batteries and put my storage just above 60Kwh.

Now to start planning the best way to mount them. I can fit one more shelf in the rack by moving everything down 3 inches but that leaves very little room to access the tops of the cells. I’m leaning in that direction but haven’t decided yet.

You'll regret leaving very little room... I speak from experience. I ended up ordering 16 more cells so I had to build a new rack with more spacing.... I need to order more again because I'm not happy with how that one turned out...

You're safe here. I can't stop either.

Where did you order the 230's from?
I need a set for the portable system. And 18650 has been out of stock for ever.

Do you enjoy hating life?

Where’d you order the cells from and what’s the cost landed at your door?

I think I paid $120/cell delivered for my first EVE 230ah cells back in 2022. Crazy.

Docan has 230s in US stock for $69ea x5% processing fee last time I checked (this week).

I never do anything the easy way.

I have ONE shelf that is like what you proposed. I hate myself for it.

There is a meeting for your problem... but secretly everyone is trying to sell each other fuses

Yeah, You got me to spend over $500 on fuses and of course holders.

I thank you for it.

I love those breakers!

I love those breakers!

The breaker panel may have had an OpenSky silkscreen at one time.

I remember. I have a couple Trimm panels that I piced up. Love the bullet breakers. I need to sell some of the big 850A panels that I will never use.
