    House burned down

    Perhaps this would be an excellent avenue to discuss further in this thread? I would love to hear everything I can on this.

    Newbie help! Parallel BMS wiring -- with terrible MSPAINT drawing!!

    I love the simple effectiveness of your drawing

    circuit breaker spark

    There are many clamp meters but not many that work with DC. I wanted a local one and had to go to 4 stores.....

    I always loved the edit in that video right after the short. it makes me giggle knowing Will soiled his pants and edited it out.

    For sure. Agreed

    Do you think this is excessive?

    6000XP AC (Grid) charge setting not behaving as expected?

    Yes, this happens EVERY time you are AC charging. no matter how. (with the 6000xp anyway.)

    6000XP AC (Grid) charge setting not behaving as expected?

    Yup, I use a 30 amp breaker and charge at 70 battery amps all the time. Again, the amps in ALL of the 6000xp settings pertains to the battery amps. The reason I only do 70 is to leave room for the loads that may be running.. For instance if you battery charge at 4080 watts and have a 2500 watt...

    6000XP AC (Grid) charge setting not behaving as expected?

    not sure what box you are talking about, but it sounds like a SOC state of charge control.

    6000XP AC (Grid) charge setting not behaving as expected?

    yes, only thing you can do is make sure the loads with charging are lower than 24 amps

    “Normal” Cell Delta at Charge Voltage

    Kindly name this presenter. Thanks

    New Tariffs in the States

    100 billion is NOTHING when they have printed trillions. This simply hurts us. That is the point.

    DIY Battery via Smart shunt to inverter integration (Solis etc)

    Yeah, that makes sense, but it doesnt work in the gui. Ill try the code maybe this weekend.

    “Normal” Cell Delta at Charge Voltage

    You and me both. I have seen .030 delta at 3.5 and I was like wtf happened!!! OMG

    DIY Battery via Smart shunt to inverter integration (Solis etc)

    It must not be working. In the GUI version Im charging at 50 amps currently. if I put in 20 it stops charging If I put in 2 it stops if i put in 80 it stops. If I populate both setpoints with corresponding values, it stops charging I have tried decimals but it wont save. No clue over here...

    DIY Battery via Smart shunt to inverter integration (Solis etc)

    How do you use slow charging parameters? What are yours? It seems anything I enter stops charging completely. What does "divider" mean in this context?

    Weird issue with 6000XP 🤷‍♂️

    I have to say, at least we are not all using lead acid. That has a whole big box of "ifs" and maintenance. I am sure there are plenty of people on this forum that would disagree but, I am young enough to not have had much to do with lead acid. I am glad for that!

    House burned down

    My situation is 8 commercial pre built pouch 50ah 48v batteries in parallel with 1 48v 280k set. I have a victron shunt on each set and the results are interesting. I can tell the discharge curves are different. And I can see that it normalizes after every hard charge or discharge

    What did you read on this? What problems could result? I have one strong of each right now

    Weird issue with 6000XP 🤷‍♂️

    Progress is progress. You should only have to do this once. But I digress, no one should have to do this at all, ever However, this does seem to be the nature of lifepo4 and pre-assembled battery packs weather the user knows it or not. You just happen to be smart and aware.

    stock BMS wire undersized?

    So knob and tube was indeed a good idea in free air!

    Bad storm came thru and powers out for 1/2 the county

    Better run out and get some toilet paper!

    Fair point! :)

    Thats gotta be an awesome feeling

    Tell them its not working. It doesnt have batteries because no one told you to have some.

    Ever see that stuff burn? I have. Its not good.

    Sudden drop to 0% in SOC with EG4 6500Ex + EG4 LLv2

    With your usage patter,If these batteries were not turned off routinely, that would explain everything. The Battery management system consumes power and I doubt its included in the SOC value displayed.

    Sudden drop to 0% in SOC with EG4 6500Ex + EG4 LLv2

    This may be your clue. This could be caused by SOC drift or perhaps they were never balanced to start with tho from the max voltage at time of event, this doesnt seem the case. Good job with all the pics! Someone here will look at them for 1 minute and have an answer for you.

    Renogy Scum!!!!!

    They must have sold you the one I sent them back! lol Edit: never mind Mine only clocked in at 22.64 amps. I found my email chain. haha

    Renogy Scum!!!!!

    Cause I had a hell of a time getting a warranty replacement on one that had the exact same problem! Customer support was terrible
