Got all 16 cells in for my new battery JennyWu delivers and that was most pain free service had in long time. Me love you, Jenny. .my name is Forest Gump.
Got both of my jk bms JK-B2A20S20P-HC in from AliExpress. All am just waiting on now is my battery build box. Looked at bottom of my cabinet again and might get a set to fit in bottom of it…then would have to order 16 more 280ah cells for the pre-made diy box. So far am pleased with AliExpress. I don’t like Alibaba. Tried to buy a USA spec 120/240 split phase Deye 10kw inverter 3 or 4 times but found they are to wishy washy. Lack confidence. I may buy another MPP Solar 3048 from Watts 24-7 and run them split phase 120/240 vac. Idle watts will be ~85-90watts for both. Hmmm …. I’ve never seen anyone running 3048 in parallel split phase. 2 is 1 and 1 is none.
This jkbms they advertise and sell on Amazon is $284.99 - $214.99 with $70 discount. Wholly sheep shit fleeced. On AliExpress same jk bms is $97 so boy scout said buy 2 but should of been 3.
Two is one and one is none.
Most everyone has been out of bms …. The Cells that I was going to buy from Gobel Power are now on back order….. Wait List.

Me realizing could fit 2 rows 16 each per shelf of 280ah battery cells in my existing roll around emergency solar power - metal cabinet. 30kw. Probably only put them on very bottom. The shelve rate is only around 100 pounds each and 16 cells are around 208 pounds. But the bottom shelve is reinforced…no problem.
Cells fit good.

How many ppl are on solar here? ? If you are preaching it you damn well better be living it? Green Energy is shekel … expensive…. For every dollar we save can send two dollars to a foreign country so our politicians can get a dollar back for themselves. 2 for 1 deal with them. Support USA Govt. just do it change we can believe in.
Buck up. Should I insulate the metal shelves? With what? I think C4 vette Composition C thermal paste on bottoms. I can pop hole in cabinet ends to put in cell compression too. Just can’t squeeze it to tight. Boom. Any advice on the proper compression amount. I’d bet they don’t worry about that with factory pack batteries like Himassi on the bottom shelf right now. …..
I want to run the mini split so I have no global warming on my private and the hairy beastie friends this summer when blacked out. You know when the grid blacks out from being old and over loaded. I lived in a desert for few years crawling around in it … hot as mf’er. I don’t plan to die from old over loaded non updated neglected grid going down - passing out before the reward because some yuppie up the street plugged up his EV. Old mf’ers are about done carrying the loads.
Fad monster wanna be then saying see black out caused by Global warming. The fact is shit heads sent all our money to foreign countries vs spending it HERE on upgrades and required maintenance practices HERE. Now we are broke as a mf’er ~$35 trillion dollars in debt and everyday my savings drop more. Already cut in half from before Biden came into RULING THIS USSA until now. Some butt munch wants to say it was Trump….that robbed me. Hahaha say Show me ….. your solar array…..mf’er. New Green Deal is transfer of wealth. Make plans to make it easy on yourself for as long as you can.
Making bacon topped off batteries no required load for himassi battery set. Those batteries were around $1100 dollars for 5.1kw now for $1512 bought around 3x as much. Smile. 600watts idling… offsets the inverter and Raspberry PI400 easy peasy.
