Unprepared city folks won’t make it 5 miles from the city boarders before they die of exhaustion and lack of avocado toast. Except for those peloton folk (assuming they have an actual bike) then they will give up after 100 miles or so.

I don’t know why people are so obsessed with harnessing each watt they can. Size the system to handle 5 days without sun during the lowest solar production months and call it good, if not double it for 10 days storage ?

So it works at room temp but needs a diamond press at 39million pounds to create a pin head worth of the stuff. Without that pressure it’s junk. I guess it’s one step forward with a marathon to go.

Victron smart shunt. 2024 is going to be a bigger year for purchases.

I wonder if “ship to store” might have saved this issue. Yes not at easy, but takes the last mile shipping out of the equation. Also I’m always looking for a reason to take a trip to browse around.

Some strong discussion points. Seems like everyone has firm grasp of their beliefs and won’t be charged one way or another, no matter what data or real world evidence is shown. I do appreciate the passion for some to call BS when they see BS (in their eyes). Are victron units the “most...

See this right here is why it’s sooo much more exciting to buy your own cells and DIY, I mean anyone can buy a server rack battery and forget about it, but where’s the sense of adventure in that? Thanks all for the shared info, another onion layer seems to have pealed back.

Spend me that excel document, I can gladly doctor it up to include your cells. Would that make you feel better?

I thought I was cheating death buy sleeping next to 30 milligouss, you sir are living life on the edge.

not too many people want to glove 34kv lines

Was 5v not possible? Hehehehe

His meter may have had a low battery or was just trashed. There was never +450v Happened to me, first time I changed the 9v battery in the fluke in 10 years. It freaked me out when I was top balancing cells and read they were at 4.8v yet my PS was set for 3.6v, never noticed the little low...

You mean a down payment on a Powerwall and their certified installers 😂

I never trust the BMS (unless cells are >3.45) especially when cells voltage is 3.2-3.3.

Why are you allowing airBnB people to crank the pool heat that much? Lock that control down ?‍♂️

Hace you considered downsizing? Seems like quite the excessive house/set up. The best watt is the watt you never use.

If common insulation can manage 600v without blinking an eye it’s only a matter of time 96v is the new 48v. Just think 1 pack of 32 560ah cells, sure she’ll weigh more than twoton Tanya you met at the bar last nights but, that’s a one bank whole house setup.

Godspeed and good luck

Portable as in a wheely AC that has an exhaust vent? I’ve noticed they blow so hot much air outside that it suck hot air from the rest of the house they are only good for very small rooms knock a bit of heat out but will never cool. Let alone all the air gaps around the open window you need...

Be mindful of using “exploding” in describing solar ? https://apnews.com/article/solar-farm-batteries-fire-new-york-smoke-warning-aa10cba9cea60f2271a6fb88ea9e8697

The camp ground will care ? Just cause it’s rated at 50a doesn't mean their set up is designed for 100% duty cycle.

IMO in a world of regulations, codes and standards they are there for a reason, and I feel a big portion is consistency. There’s a million different ways to skin a cat or wire a system and still “work”, no one will be killed, but it’s still not right and posses an unneeded risk to a system that...

Do you know the reseller on Amazon? There’s two that I trust, Inverters R Us and Pike. I’ve had to be specific when I’ve ordered off Amazon to avoid possible issues.

Make sure you charge through the BMS not directly to the terminals.

Is today April 1st? It seems like a prank post

Don’t forget the admins, where’s that thread/link where you can buy the admins a beer?

I think you mean to say in 30 years people will actually able to buy their roasters they put a 50k deposit, 32 years ago 😂😂

IMO anyone buying Renology equipment is trying to save money and should not be surprised when left out to dry in customer support, how else is a company able to spend money on influencers AND offer cheap components? Cut costs other ways. Also yeah I’m a cheapskate, I’ll do my research and buy a...

Recent SFK testing videos showing “bad cells” makes me wonder how much they just want to slander cells without papers as “low quality” cells not worth your money. I’m not knocking SFK products but, more of the black or white, any cell “without papers” or non EV cells are junk.

Where are you coming up with DC losses are greater? Voltage is your friend in efficiency. Take a look at major transmission lines that at 1000 miles long, think of connecting islands to main land and major hubs together, guess if they are DC or AC ? So back in the day and still applicable...
