  • 18kpv Issues

    I pulled my 2 6548's after running my house for 16 months to upgrade to a 18kpv. This was last Saturday. After spending all day running larger wire we get it up and running around 4:30. Took a lot longer then I thought it would for sure. Everything seemed good. I don't remember if I tried AC...

  • Chargery DCC

    Wondering what the trick is to making it work. I put it on positive side with the board and it won't let my solar through. Did the same on negative and lit let's 22 watts through. What could be wrong?
  • GSL Inverters

    Posted in inverters also but thought this might get more traffic. Anyone using one? They seem to be the one making the Sol-Ark. I have ran out of luck finding 240/120 parallelable inverters that are UL listed. Biggest issue is support and shipping. Shipping by boat is a crap shoot and by air...

  • Chargery help

    So I setup the chargery on my 2p4s 280 ah cell pack. I had to recalibrate the shunt and did it twice. I can't get it to read anything in or out. Before I calibrated it was at -2 with nothing going on. I'm using 500amp 75mv shunt from a smart shunt with gauge. Do I need to use the shunt that...

  • Chargery issues

    I have 2p4s 280 ah eve cells with chargery. Right now chargery is not fully setup because I ordered the ISO board and was sent power board. This all happened right before Chinese New Year so I couldn't finish setup. I also have a Thonewave labs Bluetooth monitor on it so I can see what is going...
  • Top balance

    So yesterday my top balanced finally finished. I stopped at 3.64 volts. It took right around 48 hrs to do 8 280 AH. I took apart and let sit over night. This is how it settled. Should I top off again or discharge to 2.60 volts?
  • Rs 485 pin out

So I ordered one and the out on it is + and -. Now I need to now what + and - is on the RS 485 on the battery. Anyone know by chance? I have...

  • Chargery 12v setup

    What is the best way to run a 2-8s 300 amp chargery for a 12v setup? I have 8 280ah sells on the way and a chargery with 300 DCC. This is for my 5th wheel. I was told to go 24v but I have a lot of 12v to run. Plus I would have to use a 12v battery to start my 4000 w onan. Thanks
