A bit off a side step But can I ask you guys is it worth buying a Eco worth 100ah battery ???? Ive seen a stonking deal for one @ £175 inc delivery??? (100ah not my 50ah Renogy size) dont want to fall into the same trap as the Renogy, but at least with the Eco worthy, it uses four block EV...

I think the batteries are lots of cylindrical cells go to page one of this thread and watch the youtube video, you can easily skip to the part where the battery is open to see what I mean

Never balanced cells manually How does one do that ???

Well !!!! Renogy insisted I gave them my PayPal details even though I had previously paid via my credit card. I did mention this but I caved in as I wanted my refund. Guess what??? PayPal charged me for the privilege off a refund. Lost £8 in fees Not the end off the world as I get to...

I will indeed but then what ???

WELL, drum roll !!! I got my refund whoop whoop now what to do with the dud battery???? Do I try and find a compatible cell balancing BMS ???

The credit card compony quoted second 75 !!! copied and pasted Good Morning Thank you for your e-mail regarding EBAY O*16. I have completed my review of your claim under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Whilst the Bank fully accepts its responsibilities and liabilities...

Long story, I purchased it Via Evilbay, credit card is my linked payment. Renogy after a four week fight said they would pay me via paypal and it can take up to 7 days total, I guess three odd days for Renogy team, then paypal

Never played with adding a BMS av you got a link to that BMS you mentioned plz ??? is it plug and play ??

WELL GUESS WHAT ????? Renogy SAID I would be getting a refund in 7 days!!!!! I would, once the cash is in my bank, open up the battery and try and have a play. ONLY too many hours into playing and it's not worth my time> but what else to do with a free half capacity battery ????

mine was a different model, but it seems it doesn't matter what model, they are all toilet

now now a sausage sizing this is not we are all buddies on this forum so lets not play on words and just be mates

I watched a you tube video of my exact same battery, some guy had two taken to him to revive, he opened them up and hey presto, unbalanced cells Is it possible to open it up and either change the bms to a cell balancing bms or simply charge the cells individually

You just got to laugh or else you cry mine is steady to around 11.50V then it nose dives to 10v in minuets

Rant but be warned when buying from Renogy So, I purchased a New LifePo4 50ah battery from Renogy uk (no such thing) through eBay Uk (I live in the Uk) I charge the battery at home, indoors (warm) via a mains 10a charger (LifePo4) and use the battery for only one cycle per day, maybe four...

thank god not every one is serious all the time, I can take a joke lol

Tristar MPPT Schneider XW plus

Can you equipment bound (ie earth wire to equipment casing/metal box etc) the AC and DC together??? so, my Consumer unit is AC, and my consumer unit is a metal boxed version, and let's take my MPPT charge controllers, they are DC, again, they are metal clad, all my equipment bounding is also...

Hi Guys Whilst reading through my MorningStar TriStar MPPT manual, looking for the battery voltage wire information, I can across information on the previous page concerning the need for a GFPD for the TriStar MPPT. apparently, some inverters have built in GFPD,es I have a Schneider wx plus...

was explained further up the thread

Inverter is not outside, Have done a little more research, it might appear a better idea to come from one off the consumer units MCB to the SPD in its own separate encloser. I have no preference as to how to fit it, to be honest, its more lack of knowledge that I was thinking of doing it my...

As per tittle, From my inverter and before my AC consumer unit (UK) I wanted to add this SPD and mains switch (the switch is only for the SPD as the consumer unit spurs off the line in) my consumer unit houses all my AC MCbs and I am earth neutral bounded at the consumer unit. I have read...

I would also not trust the cheap ones, BUT the other types are big money for a simple device. it can get expensive if you need 3 or 4

I have changed the title and question of this topic, as the mystery was solved. A ebay seller that I had previously purchased something from has now also sent this in error (but I have not been charged for it) Its no good to me, and I have emailed him, Its only a £15 item, and he may just say...

What is this for ???? I was sent one in error

What size SPD should I use ??

many kind thanks for your reply

I am slowly gathering the necessary items to add solar to my off-grid system. today's questions concern before and after a MPPT. TriStar MPPT 45a BUT ONLY maxing at 23a as this is what I have sized my array to run. I will be running two set of 3 panals in series, to two separate MPPT...

As promised Brass bus size as per my cabinet 38mm x 5mm thick A few photos as well as requested

No finger plastic. I know the ones you mean though. my brass bars are covered in heat shrink (as per the description I gave above)

I am yet to go to my workshop where my cabinet is, BUT from memory, I would say the brass buss bars that I have in my cabinet are one and a half inch wide (38mm) and about 10mm thick. as promised, I will defiantly confirm this and upload a photo. I have been promised some free solid copper bus...

from what I gather, fogstar used brass to help with thread stripping in the brass

Just a up-date Ben was good enough to respond to my Email today (a Sunday) he said he was happy to send me out the copper bus bars
