OMG, nobody should buy this item it's main design is to separate you from your money and give you nothing of value in return...

Just ordered: https://www.amazon.com/Lithium-Battery-Charging-Controller-Protection/dp/B082939ZXX?ref_=ast_sto_dp This with the BMS board & solar panel my 1S4P 18650 pack will be ready!

Who sells solar charge controllers that can recharge 4P 18650 cells...? CC/CV Just answered my owned quest - found: https://www.amazon.com/Lithium-Battery-Charging-Controller-Protection/dp/B082939ZXX?ref_=ast_sto_dp

I guess the next question is, is there such a thing as a solar charge controller for charging 18650 cells 4P...?

Guys! Check your battery terminals and tell me what you find out/think... I just noticed some have positive and negative stamped on the post tops (no biggie) most others do not - not from the same manufacturing lot (??) Then I just happened to use a magnet - I find out these are all...

Wow! That's impressive. Those power supply interfaces definitely make it look Plug and Play. The 2 HP power supplies I got, I already modified one (13.8v) and liked it so much I'm using it in the man-shack (stereo amp + ham radio). I would suggest, for an extra level of safety, use non-metallic...

Joe, I'm glad I found your post. I'm doing something very similar. I am using the DCC50s as the heart of my go-box. The design is very similar to your original schematic. But, no (starting) battery, just a switch* that will allow switching source to ALT+ input, between (shore/mains)...

... not exactly, I just called and confirmed still 'out of stock' But updated lower price (last night):

Hey Santa, I wouldn't worry too much. I think it was multiple things happening at the same time. 1) Often times when large purchases happen all-at-once, it sometimes throws red flags on automated fraud alerts - of course it's inconvenient, but for our safety. 2) Also, I think back when Will...

Thanks for the tip(s). In addition to the one HQST, I decided to buy three additional Renogy since they're cheaper on sale and basically the same (less a few mounting holes). Next, the Renogy DCC50S. However, it wont work with Blootooth ;-( ...

I just did a search and found them! However, why is the "two pack" end up costing more than a single pack, that you can order twice?? Two hours guys! Also found this: $116 - 100W and PWM charge controller (if your into that)

Will, I am scared to go w/o a BMS. I posted previously about a Victron parasitic issue , (like you to look at in reviews going forward) -Tim

I'm building a portable power box with 40 Headways (80Ah with 20C/25C max pull!) and looking to put in a charge controller and battery monitor that's Bluetooth enabled (less cutting in the case) however, I just read a bad (warning) review about the Victron BMV-712 Battery Monitor. Seems they...

Will, Did you mean to say "Considering the UNlikelihood of over voltage situation from most high quality mppt, "...
