Well this happened! What is happening? Help!

The next concert is; has my battery bank life degraded or components ? (I think so)

how would I proceed with this to eco worthy? I purchased via eBay through PayPal.

The first one was dented now this happened. Oh Lord.
 
I'd contact eco-worthy and tell them you want to return it for one without the pyrotechnics feature :)

If they give you any problems tell them you don't mind advertising the feature you didn't order....
 
The positive cable from the lower battery is touching the battery above. Absolute incompetence?
Even if that cable is touching that case its not going to make the 2nd from the bottom battery error out. Its power light turns red so its the 2nd from the bottom having problems.
 
No worries mate; wish it was just wire touching. That way I'd be a happy camper with a working battery. Then we all could have had a great laugh 🤣
The good news is ecoworthy is super responsive with support on these batteries you could have bought another brand and been stuck in support hell for weeks ;)

Tried calling like 7 times. No answer.

Left a message like 4 days ago when I didn't receive a manual along with the server rack; took me like 2 hours and a few tries to get the thing right. A friend of mine and me put it together.

Just this morning I got a reply from eBay on compensation on the dented one; they offered me an discount. I agreed to 30% or return; haven't heard back yet.

And now this fireworks happening. What a show. Im all tense up and tired.. it sucked the life out of me. 😆
 
When you check them with the meter if you get a minus sign before the numbers it’s wired wrong
In the thread pics and the vid the RED pos terminals are on the Right side of the packs,
But on the Ecoworthy website the packs shown have the RED pos terminals on the LEFT SIDE of the packs...
In fact, I don't think I have ever seen a server rack pack with pos on the right before.
 
Where did you purchase them from - maybe returning to the vendor verse the mfg might be easier - unless of course the vendor is the MFG.

either way I would pull from the rack and pop the top provided there are no warranty seals - and post pictures of the insides.

What battery are you looking at on the site?

Yea I'd be concerned about warranty seals and then them claiming it could have been tampered with.
 
What is the state of charge of each pack? Is one pack higher than the others and you're getting a huge amp surge? A clamp meter or two would be helpful.

Good question. It seems we have more questions than answers tho.

What does everyone else think? Could 700 amps going thru 4 awg make that spar if they are tight?? I do not think so.
Or would 700 amps thu 4 awg burst into flames?

Damn where did I see that again ... honest I saw this on their site - Red on the left - except that one is not a server rack pack.
What if OP has one pack wired wrong way around from the factory - did they get a DDM and confirm Pos is the Red terminal on every pack?
