Hi all, I have been lurking for a while and am going to attempt an "easy, low cost", build to replace my 215ah Lead acid battery bank with EVE230 cells. Going to follow a build that Will had posted, but as I look closer at the details, some questions have come up. First, main components will be 4x eve 230s, overkill 120A BMS, Victron Rover 30A mppt controller, and 3 x 100 W panels. First question I had was about my application- will a simple build like this assembled into a battery box stand up to being on the tongue of a travel trailer bouncing down the road? Also, do I need to worry about compression, and if so, is it as easy as taping the cells together and adding some foam to secure them in the box. Finally (for now), I assume I should top balance these? I do not have a power supply where I can set the voltage (yet), is there a way I can top balance using the BMS and a lithium battery charger? I'm sure I'll have other questions, but that is a good start. Thanks in advance for the help.
