I'm not an electrician.. But you probably mean grounding the cases back to the main DC negative-ground point. Not just the AC Neutral-ground if you have one. - I do as I'm off grid so I have a Permanent Neutral-Earth (PEN) link inside my main generator (to simulate what the grid would have...

Yeah I used Starlock stainless serrated washers for the ground screws and also spun around a tiny bit of sandpaper on the face, but there wasn't much paint on my threads. My Luyaun boxes are close to the main hull bond in the my steel barge so it was easy enough and a good idea to do.

Yes there is now, and others did have luck replacing the fans for ones that are quieter with the original fan circuit, I'm not sure if it was as good a fix as the updated II, I haven't read about it yet or compared the two side by side, but maybe it's all good with the kit? If that was a conern...

Yep, think that sounds right. So should be good.

It's probably not going to be that old, but the older Quattro / Multis from around 10 years can't be updated to the latest firmware (500+) to use all functions of DVCC which limits how useful they are if you get a Cerbo or rasPi. So maybe check that first just in case. The serial code normally...

You don't need ferrules for that type of mechanical clamp terminal, It won't damage the strands unlike a direct screw 'choc block', if anything you'll minimise any increased resistance risk from possible poorly crimped ferrule, and get a better contact surface area than a thick uncompressible...

For an 8S re doing the harness Isn't really a big deal if the whole front panel and components are being swapped out anyway, shame they don't use the same connectors though! Thanks, valid point. OP had a 200A JK with a 150A breaker though, but if they had cells that have a 0.5C rating of 150A...

Uh oh, that means I could easily swap out my 'older style' JK's for the inverter with new faceplate's...💡🤔💸

If you'll be able to pull over 150A through the breaker then you'd better get a higher rated one, and it wouldn't harm getting a brand of known quality at the same time. - But - I guess you won't be able to and most likely have 280k / 304's? So 140A / 150A 0.5C rated, which doesn't give any...

I bought from GobelPower through Alibaba using CC, my quote including all fees was around $3,500 I made sure to double check that it was the final cost to me, but when I went through to the final payment page Alibaba had added another new $100 transaction fee on top, whether I paid in $ £ or ¥...

Is this another one of your find the cheapest seller possible and hope for the best purchases?

Thanks @cajocars! I had just cleaned the mineral scum off my panels, saw this thread, ordered 24 clips clips from amazon for £5.98, put them on today and it rained after.. They work, so hopefully no more scummy corners. (y)

On the other hand: If one is unaware of an unpleasant fact or situation one cannot be troubled by it. "Ignorance is bliss" :p Some people get by and don't need to know how or why something works, it just does, and that's fine. I've been off-grid for 18 years, and now I do like to have the...

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 could show a higher or lower voltage but not have a higher or lower corresponding SOC. If a cell is falsely showing a high voltage early and gets balanced dumping...

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?
