Yes thanks, i didnt think i regulator would fix it. I am looking at a hc cargo 200A alternator, it is £200 new same case setup. but no money till the new year. A recifier for this one is £33 + regulator which I can not locate. maybe new unit is best. I think my multimeter only reads DC, Output...

All the wiring is the same for the last 6 years. I used 70mm2 cable, I have not altered anything except I have installed a DIY LiFePO4 battery in parallel to my AGMs. I can charge it, or the agms or both together via the master isolator switch for each bank. they are both 500A switches. I...

No, you are mistaken, it's been set up great, and worked daily since 2017, thats 6 years living on the boat with th A2B charging at 140A flawlessly almost every day, until just recently. I charge the AGM bank when they drop to 12.3 or 12.2 volts. i can get about 8 - 10 hours watching 4k movies...

I do not have money so can not spend any. I have to make it work with A2B for now. I have a 9inch radiator fan blowing on my alternator. is does not get hot The regulator brushes were cracked when i took it out today

My charger with 150A alternator was charging at 140A max. with 200A alternator i would expect 185A through the BMS. I can set the current over protect to what ever i like. Say 190A for example to protect the battery. 450A was the default setting charging at 140A for over 1 hour all the...

Hi, I purchased the 300A 4s. Here are the specs for the different BMSs in the range. If I am understanding it correctly it is 300A out + 150A in. My charger is 200A connected to a 200A alternator I can see from this chart that it is 300A out with discharge over protect of 450A And 150A...

And when it breaks they will just offer you 10% of a new unit, that will break

Just had my engine on for 7 hours, 28A in to battery. totally outrageous. I am sure it is due to Sterling dodgy equipment. My Sterling 1800W inverter broke after 2 years, it cost a lot of money, £400, i replaced it with modified cine wave 1800W from ebay for £70, it works great. The remote for...

1 Metre to charger then 1 Metre to battery, It has been charging fine in the past, i had a sterling remote with amps on it, its broke now but it used to show 145A charging at 14.2V That was the max, i used to charge at 100A just over idle

It is a 14V alternator, it puts out 14.4 to the full starter battery, but the battery charger once active drops the alternator voltage to 13.2 nd boosts the voltage to domestic bank when boosting, I can select the voltage either 14.2 14.4 or 14.6 or 14.8.I used 14.2 for my AGMs but tried all...

I called Sterling support a few days before my cells arrived, I asked them about the ignition light on and 17V from exciter wire and 14.4 from alternator, it was purchased as a "Sterling 200A Alternator", they no longer sell them and would not give me the product code or alternator number so i...

OK thanks,

Yes this is possible, I wonder if the cells from fogstar only take high current at lower SOC, Having trouble getting the SOC down so I can test it out again. Ordered a matching regulator for my alternator £16 Hitatchi, I doubt I would be able to change the rectifier as its soldered in and my...

I did not measure it then sorry, and now it is too late to be running my engine, 2:25am

Hi, thanks, The 26A was measured on the Daly 300A BMS app Bms is wired up as per the instructions, Daly 300A, 150A max charge I have no way to top balance the batteries in parallel, I have no charger for that. They were on the alternator for 2 hours and the 4 cells were pretty much the same...

Thanks to all for your help, My cells arrived today, friday, so 66 hours from order to delivery. I have some charging issues now. https://diysolarforum.com/threads/alternator-charging-issues-only-getting-26a.74023/ If anyone can please help

Hi, My 4 x EVE 280Ah cells arrived today, I rigged them up to the BMS, and connected the battery to my domestic side in parallel to my 3 AGMs. I can isolate either the EVE battery or the AGMs The EVE cells were at 3.2V on arrival, once hooked up I started the engine to charge the 3 AGMs, and...

My original order was £372 delivered to anywhere in EU, under 1 week delivery. 4 x Grade B EVE 280Ah LSEV

I guess so, £490 delivered, If I were anywhere in EU it would have been £380 delivered inc VAT. So 20 percent more expensive due to backwards with Britain scenario

Thank you both, I placed an order with Fogstar, grade B EVE 280Ah. expensive, I have no charger to top balance them, so will have to use my Daly 300A BMS and see how I get on.

Hi, can anyone help me to get hold of some 3.2V 280Ah for the UK? I am only looking for 4 cells initially. I ordered from gobelpower.com, 4 x EU Stock EVE 3.2V 280Ah Rechargeable LiFePO4 Battery Cell, B grade. It said free shipping from EU stock. I paid them and after 5 days contacted them to...
