    Luyuan battery case

    Personally, I wouldn't use a Class-T for each inverter, but for each battery. I'm currently preparing to build a Victron based 3-phase system, that's 3 linked inverters. Of course, the inverters will be fused, but not with Class-T.

    Luyuan battery case

    Yep, both the Lynx Distributor and Lynx Power In come in both M8 and M10 for the busbar linkage, it seems the Class-T Power In only comes in M10, it's something to take note of. It comes at just below Euro 200,- not cheap ... but I've looked at Class-T fuse holders, Euro 45,- each, and then you...

    If you're using Victron Lynx, they added a T-Class fuse holder-with-busbars to their product line. https://www.victronenergy.com/dc-distribution-systems/lynx-class-t-power-in

    First red wire B0 goes to cell 1 negative, second red wire B1 goes to cell 1 positive.

    That black duo wire with the clump at the end is the temp sensor.

    What about swapping the positive and negative terminal around, so the fuse is not anywhere near the negative?

    Luyuan battery case

    I've used 'carbon conductive paste' on several connections related to the battery. As per spec: https://mgchemicals.com/products/grease-for-electronics/electrically-conductive-grease/conductive-paste/ But I still would like to use a tinned connection instead of bare copper. ;)

    Luyuan battery case

    That video shows an untinned copper busbar going from the left pack of the cells to the right side pack. Can you clarify what's included, tinned or untinned connector? edit: I've asked Amy and she's informing to see if a tinned variant can be delivered.

    JK BMS: any alternative/3rd party (Android) apps available?

    Thanks, but should have specified "mobile app" ;)

    JK BMS: any alternative/3rd party (Android) apps available?

    Hi, Does anyone know if there are alternative mobile (phone) apps for the JK BMS series? Or possibly apps that can be customized with graphics and so on? With regards, Martijn

    DIY LiFePO4 Cost Analysis - The Cheap November 2023 European Edition

    In the camper I use an Victron MultiPlus 2 and when charging from the grid, the JK BMS does not have a connection with the MP2 so it cannot signal a lower charge current when the battery is nearing full SOC. I programmed some Node-RED stuff on the Victron Cerbo to lower charging current, which...

    DIY LiFePO4 Cost Analysis - The Cheap November 2023 European Edition

    Yes, indeed. So far, all I've seen is the box that comes with all parts like connectivity towards BMS and the BMS included, or a bare bones, a few separators only. Price difference is quite large, but at least you can use a JK BMS with the latter ones.

    Wow, basen rack.mounts batteries destroy a home in germany

    Still makes me wonder what could have been the ignition source then. Does the MP2 produce an open spark somewhere?

    Interesting, but this also means that the gas is inside the pipes, I'll take it he didn't open up any taps in that basement and light a flame. ;)

    Wow, basen rack.mounts batteries destroy a home in germany

    Given the number of panels, is there any reason to think this isn't an electric boiler instead?

    How much safer is 24v vs 48v ?

    This thing always makes me wonder -- all switches I can find, like main battery switch, are all rated to 48v, not nominal, but max. So, 56v is too much. Where do you find your materials that allow up to 60v?

    Do I really need to put cells under compression or just be able to withstand expansion?

    When using this in an RV/truck/whatever, this would worry me. Especially when using solid busbars between terminals.

    48v batt. Missing somthing?

    Personally, I would put the 2nd cable connecting both posts at the other end of the post, not with the lugs on top of each other.

    Victron CerboGX programming for decreasing amperage in charge

    Well, it seems to work so far. I posted it as a suggestion for people to read on how to throttle charging when there's no connection between BMS and Victron MultiPlus. ;)

    Crimping tool recommendations for MC4

    Here's a photo of the crimper that I have for bare connectors. Looks like the die set @HRTKD mentioned.

    Crimping tool recommendations for MC4

    Is an MC4 crimper any different from a 'normal' crimper for bare 4-6mm2 lugs/connectors/etc?

    Today's Daly SmartBMS Android App Update forces a firmware update which fails

    Can you clarify what you mean by "First of all if your BMS seems to not boot anymore. don't worry connect it to the PCS (still you will not see the battery stats) its normal." I have a Daly 8S laying around which was bricked by a firmware upgrade. Can it be revived (without attaching it to 8...

    Victron CerboGX programming for decreasing amperage in charge

    Hi all, I'm fiddling around with Victron ESS (Energy Storage System). One of the 'issues' I was having, is that is was pushing full charging watts to the battery, which has a BMS not connected to the Victron system. This could result into the BMS disabling charging because cells would get...

    Custom 280ah battery rack vs Luyuan Battery Box

    I think "air switch" is the circuit braker? Other question: how do the cells get fixed in place lengthwise (left/right)?

    Custom 280ah battery rack vs Luyuan Battery Box

    Nice video. Seems the CAN connectors only have wire connections on the rear side. Perhaps I was mistaken there was some kind of electronic board? This is the foto from the shop. Ah, wait, I think this could be the BMS? Also, not sure if I trust this connection ;)

    AliExpress chat. Via a rebrander company. So it was a Daly, but I didn't actually deal with Daly.

    Today's Daly SmartBMS Android App Update forces a firmware update which fails

    I had a customer service rep from a Daly rebrander company say I had to update the firmware (via usb/pc app) on my 24v8s Daly and it bricked... The update system is shite.

    Somewhat strange drop in battery voltage?

    Huh, they freeze? I thought it would be OK to discharge below 0 degrees C. Can't have them bloating. It would be a drag to take em out of the vehicle. Temperatures should rise once the weekend is over though.

    Somewhat strange drop in battery voltage?

    It's cold now (around 0C degrees), drop from 26.55 to 25.95.
