Yeah I was looking at one the other day. Guess I'ma pull the trigger on that.

Could you use this with the DIY battery?

How far can I run a cable between the batteries on the renogy charger? My house battery is on the back right and my car battery is on the front right. About 12 feet away.

Would I need to choose a different charge controller? since 24v to 12v needs more amps?

oh shit I didn't know that!

I built a large battery in parallel series (4x double 100ah cells) so 400ah battery this past february to put in my van I have 900w of solar on top. my battery has been sitting around 12.8 volts when i check my mt-50. I ran my espar b5e heater last night to make sure things are running properly...

Well after some cloudy days today is the sunniest day I have had in a while. I checked my battery again and these are my results from this morning. (I will Yeah I know. With the soc chart that was provided it seems that one big battery isn't the way to go. Should I separate the cells into two...

I drive too much to install that. It is a great idea though!

I have a big power bank with a computer I am trying to power

Was that the one you posted earlier? Are there any videos on setting that up? Seems there are a few options for me. Just which one is the right one.

I know this is super simple. In wills 24v battery video he attached a relay to the victron lvd what wires go where in my system?

Well I checked again on my lunch and it seems that that's all I get today. I think the sun went away for a while. The first photos I took around 11:50 am this was at 6:10 pm. I think maybe I need to divide my battery. Also how much would it effect my charging off the solar charger positive...

Good point.

Are there any tutorials to make sure the charging parameters are compatible with lifepov4?

Homer Ak ?

Hey I just received my batteries from China and I am bottom balancing right now. On the isdt there is mV :106~ the only thing plugged into the batter is the bottom ballancer. When I first plugged it in it was reading 0 with the isdt attached. Why did this change? And what does that gas pump...

So I have changed the settings on my scc but my battery still wont pass 13.8v I have been watching it for the past hour or so and it's drawing from something. I am not sure what it would be drawing from as the battery is disconnected from the main positive. The only thing connected is the scc...

Found a video that explains it in more depth. Time stamp 3:50 but it's a good watch from the start.

Not sure atm need the sun! will report tomorrow!

Um I have lights and a fridge and a fan tied into 12v then my inverter. I can try not to turn on my inverter for a few days and see if that increases the charge. I am good. I paid a lot of money for my setup. I also don't feel comfortable sleeping on a pressurized system.

oof ok.

How is this?

Interesting. Im gonna have to get longer bolts for my terminals if I keep adding stuff ?

Shouldn't the charger go directly to the battery and not to a bus bar?

Hey guys I just installed my battery in my van and I am wondering what I should have my low voltage disconnect set to to maximize my usable watt hours. In wills video he says I should set it to setting two. But that's 9.5v. isn't that way to low for a lithium battery? I am seeing alot of mix...

I only have my relay for the low voltage disconnect my solar charger and main power to a bus bar connected to my terminals.

And my bus bars are right next to the battery

I am in Anchorage but I can be sent to barrow for up to six months. The van will stay in Anchorage when I am out of town but when I am in town I want my stuff to work. I just didnt think my system is working properly. And I will need to install a shunt and a renogy dc to dc charge controller I...

So i just removed the battery and put it in storage and that was a bitch to do. sooo many wires. i am going to buy more buss bars. my positive post is cross threaded for sure. i should have bought heated battle born batteries. how do you recommend i do a low and slow charge? i don't own a...

Hey guys I just built my own lifepov4 battery and I will have that connected to solar. I just got word I am moving to Alaska from California. I want to create a redundancy in my charging system so I won't be screwed in winter when the sun doesn't show for a long time. I have been looking at the...
