  • Chargery rs232 interface

    So when I saw the Chargery I saw it had 2 phone jack style inputs that I thought 1 would be used for the rs232 connection. Now that I have i t i find out that rs232 uses com3 which is simply 2 wires. from what I can find rs232 needs at least 3 wires ground TX and RX. Is it safe to assume...
  • How Do You Balance.

    I'm wondering what peoples thoughts are on how active and passive balancing works. When do you do it and how many amps do you need to move to be practical. When I ask when. Is it while charging, discharging, resting, also at what voltage range do you start. And how far difference are you...
  • Chargery instant shut off and heatup

    So today i was testing my Chargery BMS. all the readouts seem to be working fine. I had 1 relay connected to the low voltage shut off side of the BMS output. And it was working as expected. However low voltage shut off is not necessarily a problem for me right now but overvoltage is. So i...
  • Fire Supression

    Has anybody given any thought as to how to supress a fire in their solar shed/closet? I cant believe that normal fire sprinklers could be a good thing in a room filled with electronics?

  • Mili-waukee

    Love how Milwaukee suddenly becomes Mili-Waukee. I thought at first it was a knock off brand.
  • Columb counting questions for the pointy heads!

    I will admit that I am not a huge fan of columb counting to measure battery SOC. I feel that I can get a rough idea via Voltage and have a decent idea of where I stand. But if I were to build a columb counter or use an Ali one. I understand that 100 amps out of a battery is supposed 100...
