Hopefully a company will realize the potential profit of creating a 'diy power station kit' ie. here's the front end in a nice package (pure sine wave inverter, charge controller, usb c pd ports, etc) just supply your own lifepo4 battery or two or four (ie. since a lot of the 12v 100ah are a...

Not sure how robust they are, but this buck converter has some protection features that can be enabled (ie. under voltage protection) wuzhi WZ5020L review on youtube

Another good post on EPEVER settings for LiFePO4 https://diysolarforum.com/threads/epever-controller-90-20-soc-charge-perameter-q.23358/#post-308208

I have a 2206AN and it has Timer 1 set to 117 and Timer 2 set to 2n The enter button turns the load on/off (lightbulb icon) Try disconnecting your solar input, then battery for a few mins, then re-connect

Found the correct RJ45 UP port pins Pins 2 and 3 have the NO (normally open) switch connected to it Battery will now go into shelf mode (low discharge) and active mode without the official Renogy Activation Switch (used an old network cable and soldered a NO switch between pins 2 & 3)

@dmq see my reply in this thread https://diysolarforum.com/threads/jbd-new-jst-connectors.30379/#post-366229

Popped the top off the battery Picture of the BMS board UP port connection SW PCB pads left is connected to RJ45 pin 3 right is connected to RJ45 pin 4 Multimeter measurements: battery voltage between RJ45 pin 2 (+13.4V) and RJ45 pin 4 (-ve) no voltage between RJ45 pin 3 and RJ45 pin 4 I've...

Anyone who owns a Renogy Smart Lithium RBT100LFP12S Do you know the Activation Switch pinout ? (I don't have a switch) As per manual "The Activation Switch is used to switch the battery (BMS) between active and shelf mode"

Post deleted, wrong model, thanks @croakz will open a new thread

These work great (most will need connectors crimped or soldered, normally comes with bare wires) https://www.amazon.ca/TOOYFUL-Digital-Measurement-Current-Analyzer/dp/B09JGHYXQ2/

I believe they are HY 2.0mm connectors https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000256231657.html

Laser spot welding would be the best option if you can find a company that can do it If the pack isn't prone to an environment with vibrations and draws very low current (not sure how much current the epoxy can handle), another option might be to try MG Chemicals 8331D Silver Conductive Epoxy...

@bedpan what about getting some of these 40V BAE systems modules ? Pretty cheap in the classifieds You can break em down to 12V packs if you want

@RF_Burns what terminal size are on the TE 12100 (12V 100Ah) batteries ? The data sheet shows M6/M8 (which is it, lol)

I purchased these from Aliexpress, they fit my JBD Smart BMS 120A 4S perfectly PCB 5 Solder Terminals / M6 high current terminal 120A Circuit Board Hardware PCB-5 M6 Connector 10PCS

How was the packaging ? Lots of foam padding ?

Thanks, I've tried emailing them for a price/shipping quote, but no replies, guess I'll have to call them

To anyone who owns the Alberta Lithium TE 12100 (12V 100Ah) Are the BMS parameters adjustable ? (The spec sheet shows a recommended low voltage disconnect & BMS discharge voltage cut-off of 8.8V) which seems very low

Hard to tell from the picture, but looked like the head of the bolts for the Uclamp went through the solar panel frame

Allows the continuous edge of the solar panel's weight to be transferred to the U-bolt mounting bracket & pipe cross member Prevents mounting bolt tear out / bent aluminum on solar panel frame

What is the issue with the BMS ?

@Goombah111 You should msg the seller to confirm you are getting a 12V 100Ah battery, might be click bait with the seller having other capacities for sale (ie. 20Ah is $200 50Ah is $430 100Ah is $860)

@MrSurly thanks! I found the binary wheels at https://wxpython.org/pages/downloads/index.html https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/ But wasn't sure how to use them instead of compiling the gui from scratch It was a good brain workout, lol
