Yeah I've been saying that for a while now. Seems pretty fair

Where are they doing that

I've had many mc4's fail and melt. But then again I'm always mixing various mc4 connectors on various products. You never know what you're going to get

From array to scc pv input, I use non insulated butt splice connector sized properly, then cover the whole joint with marine grade heat shrink. Please don't use spade connectors 😬

Oh goodness. Very hard to keep up with. We get new models every couple months it seems. Then they will come out with new firmware which usually improves the product, but sometimes makes it worse. These brands are not very consistent either. Sometimes a single product on their line will be a...

I'm almost all Bitcoin currently. Only using cash for bills, food and taxes. I don't need much either.

I would love to

Yeah what more is needed to know about a battery charger? Would be curious to see what they think is missing from that manual.

Measure the DC ripple on output at HVD and it will spike really high. It will fry the BMS fets. Mine fried on the first day. Not worth the risk.

Yes, that's the one. Dumped it in the trash after that incident. Don't charge lifepo4 with it.

It's a Toyota sienna so it's in the trunk, on the side. Similar to the Prius.

After a few years of not having to charge one of these, I'm terrified of blowing the caps off the top 😂 no high voltage disconnect, no low voltage disconnect. Valve regulated so if any boiling occurs, huge mess of acid all over the vehicle. I'm actually scared to walk near it when it's...

Yes exactly

The reason it is very significant is that you're going to balancing issues over time. Also instead of one BMS failling you now have four. Instead of one LVD and HVD, you now have 4 in series. If cell drift occurs at all, one of the batteries will disconnect and render that entire string...

No clue. Ask them what their regulations and let us know what they require. Every county and state has different rules.
