Lol, I got those shelves. That would never work. Its sagging with just the empty boxes.YEP "just 6 more".
Do we need to start a 12-Step program ?
For fellow addicts... A Teaser, just testing a shelf system for my refreshed bank. Looks cool but won't do it...

That looks awesome Steve but I think Mr GobbleBottom might be right. I hope you can make it work.YEP "just 6 more".

Can that shelving unit handle that weight? If one of those legs buckle....YEP "just 6 more".

Edit, read further on, nevermind.
Well that is HOPIUM and not reality obviously. The photo as stated is to test - a fry run and well it's a FAIL ... It's really easy to "rock" the shelf, not that stable... so destined for the toolshop.. Solution hunting still underway.This shelving unit specs say:
Each shelf can hold up to 350 lbs evenly distributed, total 1400 lbs loading capacity.
Adjustable foot leveler help ensure stability.
I am looking forward to seeing your setup. Are you using closed loop BMSs?I should know today on the face change and two BMS mounts in the box.
I can if I need to but no not worried about coms, I plan on a smartshunt per 4 batteries to only monitor each 1200ah bank at this point. This system so far is backup only no solar.I am looking forward to seeing your setup. Are you using closed loop BMSs?
We just got back from the Shop-Venture...@Steve_S
This might not be the size you want but 800lbs per shelf capacity. I have some of these in my shop with casters. Heavy duty but not cheap!![]()
Two-Shelf Wire Shelving Unit - 36 x 18 x 34
Recommended for garages and storage rooms where space is tight. NSF certified shelves adjust in 1" increments. Assemble in minutes. No tools required. Open wire maximizes airflow, reduces dust. Optional 5" polyurethane swivel stem casters add 6" to height. Add-On Units and Wire Shelving...www.uline.com
I have to take a break from the backup for a few days, I have a delivery from China tomorrow.
Doing the same, wife/neighbor kid proof less the retired part, running a HVAC company full time as well.No rush S.Davis
I am not making rapid progress myself.
I just try to keep my retired self amused while making my batteries easier for my wife and others to understand.
I'm just tired.less the retired part
I know it doesnt matter but I would have made both wires black.I have several JK's out there setup like that, see below. No problems with it BUT I did use a Hydraulic Crimper to ensure the best & tightest crimps. TIP: Because the wires are silicone, use Heatshrink with adhesive/sealant, (call it lessons learned).

Thanks Steve for the detailed reply and great labeled picture. These batteries are going to be fantastic.I have several JK's out there setup like that, see below.

I have 5 of the 4.3" displays to go with my 5 cases. Amy said the BMS and 2 plates weigh 7-8kg. She will get back to me when she has the shipping priceSmall stuff (<2.5kg) and small package size, by air is not as bad as most think. I get things by air if it's small & need it fast and the bit extra it costs is better than waiting 6-9 weeks. Are you also getting the 4.3" screen for the JK Inverter BMS ?
A member here wrote a driver that can be installed on a device running Venus OS.I have Luyuan box as well, the wide version. I picked the 200A JK BMS but received 150A breakers from Amy. I wondered if I should get 200A instead? and does anyone know 200A has same dimension as 150A breaker? cause my box already cut to fit the 150A.
Did you guys change the silicone wire to tinned copper?
Btw, does anyone have better ways to monitor several JKBMS units aside check bluetooth one at a time? Wired all JKBMS to Victron shunt?
The 150A & 200A are the same physical size.I have Luyuan box as well, the wide version. I picked the 200A JK BMS but received 150A breakers from Amy. I wondered if I should get 200A instead? and does anyone know 200A has same dimension as 150A breaker? cause my box already cut to fit the 150A.
