Hello Folks,
I have been looking for for an international supplier (preferably in Europe where I live) for the Victron Easysolar 5000VA/150 MPPT for my solar project in Kenya. I just cannot find any reputable suppliers that will sell and ship over there. I have been through Amazon Germany...
Hello folks,
I intend to series-connect four or five 12V Lithium batteries to make a 48V or 60V bank for my residential solar project. From my reading here and here, I understand that keeping the four/five units in balance is critical. Note that each of these units already have an internal BMS...
Hello from Switzerland (and Kenya) sunny folks!
I am new to the forum and literally stumbled in while researching for my upcoming, first ever solar project. I thought I would share what I have been up-to so far and listen to any thoughts/advice the community may have. The project site is down...
I wanted to share my experience here, mostly for the benefit of others to ensure nobody else goes through the horrible experience I had with Sunpal Power Co., Ltd, Hefei, Anhui, China, a seller I found on the Alibaba platform (see link to supplier profile). If this sounds like one of those "do...

Hello folks,
In my battery bank setup, I have got four identical 12V LiFePo batteries connected in series into a 48V bank. Each battery here has got its own BMS i.e., the BMS's do not talk, each does it's own thing. As you might guess, the first battery to charge up goes open circuit and so the...
I recently purchased this JBD BMS here at the IC GOGOGO Aliex store and I am currently locked in a refund tussle with the seller. Seller is unsurprisingly unwilling to replace or refund. I would like some assistance diagnosing and fixing the problem to see whether repair would be the best...
Hello folks,
I am having some trouble decoding the technical details of the cells in the attached photos. These are BYD, but the serial number does not appear to follow the modern naming convention as with EVE cells for example. According to the guide here, the number of digits should be 19 or...
