  • Post in thread: Need some advice on setup of battery cells with bms

    its a jbd custom bms, muller just asked jbd to make him a custom made one. So its the same as the 200a jbd 4s bms and if it keeps it online all the time then the muller one would also its just a better version of the 200a and its 50a more. Watch this review on them -

    He told me its 2000 at 3c the ultra high one is the same as the toshiba scrib cells but instead of 20ah they are 40-50ah. Can you link me the alibaba that has a sydney warehouse?
  • Post in thread: New member to the crowd

    Hi All, I'm from australia. Love technology. I designed a camper trailer and me and my dad built it which at some point I'll do a show and tell. I'm at the stage of building the electrics up on 12v. I plan to have it 95% based off 12/240v and 5% gas for backup. Just wanted to join to seek some...
  • Post in thread: Question about voltages in xiaxiang bms app

    So Im charging my 8 cells in 2p4s using a 12v 40a lithium charger while my 250a jbd 4s bms is connected. In the settings I put down cull full voltage as 3.6v. My question is in the balancer config what do I put down as start voltage - currently its at 3.45v with a 5mv delta to balance with...

  • Post in thread: Is there a jbd 250a 4s 12v

    So there is a Australian business called mullerenergy that sells cells, pre-made batteries with custom box, chargers and bms's. They are selling a jbd 250a 12v 4s but its on backorder but from what I thought you can only get 250a in 5s+. I can't find anything on the internet about a 4s 250a...
  • Post in thread: Can you get prismatic cells that rate to 337ah

    I saw a video that looked like he had lots of thin cells.. so I think its what @BiduleOhm said its 2p4s and I'd say its 160ah. Sucks though all these shops buy all the 160 and 173ah cells and allot of them and now you can only get b grade cells

  • Post in thread: A question about 24volt solar panels and mttp

    So I been looking around for a high voltage solar panel for my camper trailer thats 12v but the best I seen was 27voc which is good.. but then I saw a 200w thats 44voc and looks really good measurements wise but its saying its 24v not for 12v..

  • Post in thread: A question on a battery build

    The reason why I'd go 600ah is because I'm planning to have the camper trailer to be 95% electrical and 5% gas as a backup. So 12/240v hot water system, I plan to use a induction stove for cooking, 1x 47L fridge, 1x 90L fridge/freezer, 1x 24" 12v tv, lots led lights, 12v travelbuddy camp oven...
  • Post in thread: Eve 160ah cells - question on how to setup 4s8p

    The other barcode isn't scraped.. I just asked daisy at docan about the barcode and she gave me a site to decode the barcode.. and the barcode comes up with that its a eve battery with manufactuer date off 22/September/2022 so Im guessing they are A grade. The 515.5wh is just stated for the...

  • Post in thread: How to make a 300ah out of 50ah cells

    How would I make a 300ah battery using 50ah prismatic cells? And how big would it be.. would it be larger then if I used 4x 300ah cells? I know if I used 8x 170ah cells it ends up being the same size if or close to same size if I was to use 4x 300ah cells. Just trying ti figure it out..

    I'll prob do 2p4s then as I only have 1 bms and costs too much to get another one.. On that pdf in the 2p4s I like B or D but questions is it says to use heavy duty bus bars.. what does heavy duty mean? I got the ones from the factory from docan. Where would I be able to find heavy duty ones?
