Well folks. Here's a whallop of an update ! My recovery is progressing incredibly well after a few more specialists got involved. The multiple teams and their efforts have been beyond outstanding. In fact, I went for a walk yesterday... Non stop, a distance that I have not been able to do in...

What can I use to separate my LFP Cells and/or line my metal box with to protect my cells ? There are many creative solutions and yet some are downright dangerous (incorrect material for task). The "PROPER" Material for such an application is Epoxied Fiberglass Sheets, specifically, FR-4...

NOTICE: UPDATING November 2022 WIP Good Day everyone, Overview: There is no grid here, no phone lines, cell is so-so (to be polite) so satellite internet is here (not bad actually). I do not have 240VAC, this is a 120V system only. My Solar Panels are mounted separately from my Powerhouse...

We often talk about pack/cell voltages and tend to use cell volts in general, so that makes searches a bit tough. Please see teh voltage chart attached, you likely should download & store it for reference. Essentially, anything above 3.425Vpc (Vpc = Volts per cell) 54.8V per 48V Pack is...

Introduction: I posted this into a response and felt that this should have its own thread as a point of clarification. There has been much debate, discusion and even theories, conjecture & postulation. All of this creates confusion due to many perceived points, real or otherwise. This is by...

Good News sorta. 1) I'm out of the hospital as they have done what they can BUT will have to go in weekly for tests (cat scans +) and medication adjustments. They have me on some pretty heavy-duty antibiotics and more. 2) I am having to make some serious changes to my lifestyle, foods eaten and...

Word of advice. When your batteries are full, take a voltage reading @ the battery terminals, take a voltage reading at your SCC and again at the Inverter. There will be a difference between them all, not huge but there nevertheless. As shown above .2V can make a difference ! .40 can be 10%...

When dealing with ANYONE it is best to apply the RULE OF 3 ! 3 strikes, you're out. 3rd time is not a charm etc... we all use Rule of 3 subconsciously but applying it consciously in life WILL reduce stress and help you stay happy. 3 attempts / chances and never another. 1 Lie = Instant 3 and...

Let me put this as plainly, clearly & simply as possible, translation issues considered. NONE of the EVE, Lishen cells being sold as "Storage"or "ESS" or anything like that at these price points are MATCHED or even BATCHED. NONE ! Vendors sort them by Voltage (typically 2.99 to 3.20 voltage -...

INTRO: I have debated posting this for a while until I got everything tweaked in and working as best as possible. The End Result is Gobsmackingly Good ! I cannot speak for other SCC and such as each is different & unique in their own ways BUT this may likely be a Good Reference. Civility &...

WORD: Compress does not mean put under pressure ! In this context, it means snug & tight but not under pressure or force. You can "strap" them together (protecting the corners so they do not crush). Many pack builders use commercial strapping made with that nylon-mesh, even BYD & CATL do...

Thanks for the sympathies but I am actually really good with it, was just hoping, wishing/dreaming to get to at least my BDay next year but that's fine. I will finally be at real rest. As for my posts, I have done a lot of documentation for "End Users" over the years on various subjects. One...

marker page for more configuration info oriented to "my build & spec" Basic logical design for the "Bank" Assembly with 3 packs. Current configuration (logical diagram) showing only one LFP pack but enough to provide an idea of how it's going to be configured. The Shunt Shown is a Deltec...

Good Day everyone, This is a topic that seems to be generally neglected by not being mentioned or even considered in many posts. This is unfortunate because components such as Solar Charger Controllers, Inverter/Chargers need to "know" the precise voltages being dealt with. With Lead Acid /...

OFF TOPIC ~sorta ~ I built a relationship with Amy over a period of time. We have communicated about many things, not just the cells. I have tried to help her navigate some of the quirks and that resulted in better service & results for everyone... even the little things like putting a...

Ohh there is a dash of "Chicken Little" in this one. Afterward's they notice the smells from the LFP Packs... Well, they just went through a house fire, of course they got cooked & burnt in that event and will stink to high heaven as a result. Interesting how they OMMIT what Fuel is used for...

Do you realize that THIS Forum is a GLOBAL Community ? Racist undertones are NOT well received by the vast majority. Understand that Sheisters & Scammers and such are also WorldWide and care not where they operate. The are many GOOD Reputable Vendors as well as "Scum". The experiences with...

Good Day Everyone. Based on Another Ongoing Thread (link) I made the choice to pull the trigger on purchasing 16 pieces, 280AH LFP cells from Shenzhen Xuba Electronics via Alibaba. Product Link. The order will be finalised on Monday Feb.03 due to new complications thanks to Murphy's Laws. So...

Isn't it funny. OP says they don't know the cause or details as this was someone elses system etc... YET Ohhh the Batteries must be a cause... Really ? Lot's of electrical gear involved, "Maybe" pets/rodents may have contributed. The love of Jumping to Conclusions and the Assumptions...

I AM HOME !!! 9:00 PM a fracas to the Last Minute but I'm HOME.... Ohhh my, forgot what a mess I left... oi... Draconian Cleaning will have to commence (At Pace of course). Tomorrow is gonna be nuts getting prescriptions filled, visiting nurse & home care folks and more... Phew, just...

If an official person from Delta-Pro posted that when in fact they never reached out to Will, then to me that is a Red Flag because WHY would someone say such a thing. If a company lies about something so innocuous well I'd question their credibility across the board. If they posted that on FB...

You're the one who had a Battery BBQ and survived to tell about it. Bottom line, its your money & butt along with all the risk of bodging together in a hap hazard method. But never mind, I've only been at it for a few decades, what do I know. Have Fun and Good Luck, just keep a fully charged...

RULE 1: It is always cheaper to Conserve & be as efficient as possible than to generate & storing Power! This is especially important during "critical events" such as extremely bad weather or other turmoil events out of your control. As far as I know, Costa Rica is 110/240V 60Hz, therefore I...

CHARGERY UPDATE INFO: (quazi leak) OK, I know people are curious as to what is going to happen as a result of Will's Video, this thread, the compiled suggestions, quirks, issues. I have just had a long exchange with Jason and he even gave me their "planning" documents BUT I cannot share the...

I was maybe a tad harsh to the OP and for that I do apologize, I know he was having a Bad Day but the flip side no harm came to anyone which is the Most Important thing right. He doesn't know any of us, our experience(s) or our backgrounds and that's ok too, AND I totally understand his...

I provided this in another post a while back but could not find it, so I'm reposting this from my lib of docs. Recovery Instructions: Charge each LOW cell, one at a time, starting at 3.000V and around 10A and let it slowly take the charge till it cuts off. Rinse repeat for each cell. They...

Intro: BMS SoC and system SoC readings are always a source of great debate and even great argument(s). This Posting addresses MANY of the issues not considered, nor weighed and delves into the Important MInutia which can & often does create confusion & misunderstandings that result falling into...

I started playing with solar stuff in the early 2000's... limited stuff & Lead Acid only so it was more for interest & to learn.... Purchased some amazing land in 2013, cleared it (required space not the rest) in 2014 and designed my home. Started the build and installed Solar in 2015 with...

For anyone following the tossed thread. Being released to home after 3pm today.

I was brought into hospital... I'm in intensive care isolation. Failing lung with severe infection and heart infection & more. I'm COVID CLEAR so in isolation to protect me. From other patients. I am sorry but I not a cell phone person. All my work is on home workstation. I will pop in as...
