Is the the hot spot in the 2nd picture of something metal? And if so, did you correct for it's emissivity for the temp read out? The technique I use for reading metal temps with IR is to put a strip of black electrical tape on the metal, and then read that to do away with the emissivity issue...

I have a Victron 12/12/30, and when it's cold, it'll put out as much as 45A until it warms up. And if it gets too hot, it dials back to less than 30A.

I agree that a dedidcated display is nice. Phones are notorious about acting up... and they're slow to connect up too. Of course they too burn up a lot of power if used as always on displays.

Possibly. Also Norton Secureweb flags the URL as malware. Not sure if that's simply because it's an IP address, or additional criteria. Coupled with the higher than I'd like power use (30mA screen off, 70mA screen on), it's more trouble than it's worth. I'm going to send it back where it...

Result of my scan attached

It wouldn't surprise me, but I also figure things do happen and servers get compromised. That's why I check before installing!

I don't suppose anyone's got a clean archive of the Android app from back then? The url and apk's are currently getting identified as malware.

Heh you're welcome. It was a fun distraction this morning. I was hoping at least some of the numbers would match up with known information eg model number, capacity, voltage etc. Comparing against codes from other batteries could yield some clues, since the model number should be common to...

Yeah the freebee ZXing based readers are not very good at anything besides perfect barcodes. I've cleaned up the barcode a bit and got the following: 5040031993 620314 D3H 2001307 . Not super meaningful to me, but maybe it'll tickle something for you. In the mean time, it's possible I also...

I too have had poor support from SOK. In responding to a query for a missing specification in the spec doc for the 100Ah battery, they simply directed me to the spec doc. I replied that I aleady checked the spec doc, and that they did not address the question: no response. I always remind my...

My e-mails to new business contacts always go through this mail server for quality assurance purposes. When a business is unscrupulous and distributes the address, SPAMS the address with a bunch of marketing e-mails that won't immediately get cut off when unsubscribed from, or gets their...

You could respond to product information requests. I tried e-mailing, and a couple days later calling and leaving a voice mail. Never heard back. Ended up making my purchase elsewhere.
