Just ordered a new surplus stock zt540e to play around with. Hopefully the batteries last for a while before I dive into converting it. Looking forward to a fun project though. Def would not have done it without reading through this entire thread! Thanks people

Lietime

oh crap, thought it was 96v my bad!

https://shopsolarkits.com/products/pylontech-force-h1-rechargeable-li-ion-battery Pylontech HV battery is $187/KWh

Is it UL listed for ability to grid-tie in the US?

128kwh battery for $46k, $360/kwh

Last time I got a quote, the price for a decent sized battery was pretty pricy. The inverter certainly looks like a tank!

That's the thing I *looove* about toyotas. I keep getting older but they stay the same... uh.... value.

no earthquakes. just clumsy people with well-conducting wrenches

ill shoot em if they get close to the batteries or the inverter

Man, I was just planning on using no compression and laying the cells out on a HD rack (like that dewalt one). It's gonna look ugly af, but I know I am no carpenter.

I hate that you are correct 😤

Wow, that is amazing! Definitely will keep this is mind for when I do my build at the house I'm at. Saving this!

Does solar have setback requirements from property lines in certain areas? I wonder how that would work if you were trying to incorporate solar panels into a fence.

Damn, how did you get it so early?!?!

clearly did not pass the Gom Jabbar Test.

Be cool if they made this in split phase for whole home backup Stateside Of course it would probably have to be a Solark. Still, 50kw would backup a 200 amp panel with ease.

Do you have your inverter set to always draw a certain amount of watts from the grid to prevent small backfeeding? If so, how many watts do you use to achieve this?

Single bms, paralleling cells before put in series.

I mean I guess that should work if you don't have any wind.

That company has quite possibly the fakest reviews I have ever seen on Alibaba, and that is saying a lot.

I love how in the video where they show how to build it, they show someone about to anchor it into a maybe 2lbs paver 😂

I would love to see a video of whether you can get away with running a 16s2p, 16s4p, 16s8p battery if you use grade-A cells, active balancing BMS, etc. I know the reasons not to do it, I would just love to see someone TRY to do it and see what happens. Would be cool to see sensors on each cell...

Awesome keep us posted please!

Sounds about right for capacity. I know you were saying the BMS would reset when you tried to set the capacity to 1216AH, but have you tried to set it to 304? Maybe it might save the setting.

If you have four 3.2v cells in series to achieve a 12v battery than you have a 304ah battery. Am I missing something here?

how do you have four cell and 1216AH

Is it because they don’t work as well in heat?

There are not enough of us out there, unfortunately.

Hey!

Also let's not forget that the Cybertruck is helping change automotive electronics to a new 48v standard which is super cool.

Pretty mild. Daytime temps 20-45, nighttime temps 20-35 right now. Northern VA.

EV's have their place. I have had one for three years, and had the most recent one for about four months now. Never charged anywhere but home. Love the fact that I have a full tank every time I pull out of the driveway. I have found range to be about the stated 270 miles if I drive like a...

IMO EV trucks still have their use, assuming they are reliable. Contractors/subs working in a metro area may be able to get away with the range. I am not sure about stated range on the Cybertruck, but all electric vehicles range is going to vary on conditions/driver much more than a gas...

> EG4 12kw air conditioner ok guys, these naming schemes are really getting a bit out of control ?
