Alarchist's latest activity

Almost 2 years back I decided to try out these new fangled LiFePO4 batteries. Because I am cheap, and distrustful of things that are new...

In the control industry we have a saying "To many alarms is no alarms after 6 months!" The operator ignores everything after that...

I don't think balancing from 3.375v will constructively balance the cells as they're still not in the voltage knee yet, so any cell...

These JK BMS adapters are basically a DC-DC converter, a isolator (CS817x22) and MAX485 type clone IC (3Peak TP8485E) . Per this pic...

I'm pretty sure JK make two versions one for 12-24v and one for 48v batteries, do you have the right one from your supplier?

Per request of @Pi Curio, 10 Heschen fuses (sourced on Amazon; HSPV-30; 32A; 1000VDC; I1 = 33kA) were blown while mounted in their...

Just following up if you did drive over to NKON in the end, it would be interesting to find out if that worked out OK?

If 3.4375v works for you crack on, how long have you been charging like this, does it seem to work ok, are you sure you're not plating...

I've not tried to recycle lithium cells, but I have used EMR for lead acid who always paid decent prices, and it looks like they do car...

If the balance voltage is higher, just before or at target absorption voltage it's not going to start to unbalance the false runners...

I think a few of us notice this false runner behaviour, but maybe not as bad as you. Weirdly I find in one battery it's normally the...

LMAO ~ Well folks, bored ? My fun begins ! some assembly required and lot'sa patience. lol All of these get a 200A JK-Inverter...

The driver works with many BMS's that use TTL, with a TTL to USB adaptor, I don't see any AIM BMS's on the list, have you read this and...

Yeah I have the same breaker in my Luyuan boxes, I will also never use it for breaking a current higher than a few amps, I'll use my NH...

Today two more 22 AWG copper fuse wires were blown, similar to the previous black curve. The 22AWG copper wire fusing current is approx...

Thanks everybody a lot for the input. Feature requests so far: Create current versus time plot, e.g. using an oscilloscope / clamp...

I agree, panels can be quite effective, even in non-standard places. I have an array of 10 on a garage roof and 3 on a wall, all working...

That display sticker! :ROFLMAO:

Sounds good. I am thinking of 12 V system for heating and fans, just an initial thought. The pill may have been red, but everything...

It doesn't get as cold here (-10°C extreme) but I made an 18mm ply box and covered it in 25mm PIR insulation with foil taped joints
