Soo give up ? I added half a syringe in each hole giving each hole a full syringe worth of distilled water... I will charge the 2 batteries that are in parallel overnight.... Of course switched to "repair" mode.....I flipped the french accent button to off and took a video but I see no reason to torture anyone any further
Thanks but I will pass on lithium until it is less explody, or less catching on fire.... So if I cannot find victron, what mppt should I look for ? ( I think 100 amps is best because id like to add identical panels to this setup....it only costs 3000 php, Roughly 60$usd.... So look for something with 48v in and 12v out ???
Okay so ask seller if the mppt can accept 48v input.. check, honestly I don't care if it is fake and has 1000 USB ports, as long as it puts a bit of 12v power towards my battery bank...I'm rather simpleLiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) packs are at least as safe as lead-acid. I still wouldn't have one in our living area, but I wouldn't have lead-acid there either.
For your MPPT look for a "universal" unit that can handle 12V, 24V (maybe 36V and 48V) and the highest input voltage you can find (most seem to be about 150V ish). We have a couple of PowMr units that handle up to 150V input, they are definitely of the "low-cost Chinese" variety but work well enough if you don't push them to the limit.
If you find something locally, post here so those-that-knows can pass judgement, there are many, many fake units
Possibly caused by incorrect charging from the PWM controller used with high voltage panels.
I'm all for lithium if some of you can guide me through the safest way to do this, I'm definitely go for that, it is more energy dense, I'm certain that the battery has to have a bms and that I have to tell the mppt that the receiving battery is lifepo4, and perhaps a fan blowing on the battery, (at 5-10 watts it isn't doing any harm)
Perhaps, but the output of the scc always had 14.4v until it jumped to 28v which is why I'm here
Wow thanks, that looks handy, if only I could find a winninego around these parts id never pay rent again@corporal_Canada you might want to have a look at Will's (now free) book
My solar book is now free for everyone.
The websites I used to sell this book, "Sellfy" and "Send Owl", never did a good job and I constantly had customers unable to download after purchasing. So now I am going to pay the fees for hosting, and make it free for everyone. This will give me more time to run the forum and make videos.
The information in this short book only pertains to simple, 12V solar systems. If you are a beginner, this book is for you! If you want a paperback copy, that is still available, but you need to pay amazon to print and mail it to you...
Capacitor I can replace I think I have a 2 farad one lying around.. but if the damage goes beyond that, I surrender faster than (insert surrendering country here) and buy a new one, however this particular fan cost me 20-30$ and coming from a socialist country, I'm barely surviving here.... In case I didn't mention it, I need an anti psychotic to help deal with my PTSD ( see the movie notebook just once and it's all downhill from there)...
Yes batteries first and that is how I discovered that the 80 amp fuse blew, and on the back of this smaller panel I think I saw 14v.. and now with the fuse replaced this default pwm, I actually have a battery voltage reading of 13v.. as for vmp and voc, I'll take a look tomorrow, I had this panel for a while, it says 300 underneath but I don't think it is even 100 watts, but if it'll gimme 50, I'll be able to power my electric fan... hopefully charging and discharging the battery this way will help turn the water into acid, I dunno, im no chemist...
