  • Post in thread: what cable to buy?

    yea i plan to upgrade both wires to 35mm2. my eve cells have two terminals so that works very well battery side. then on the output combine the 2 35mm2 cables into 1 70mm2 i suppose my question is replacing the x2 7awg cables rated at 200c or 105c knowing china. to x2 35mm2 cable rated at 70c...
  • Post in thread: JK BMS two cables in one lug?

    why did you leave the 2 10mm2 cables and then go into a 70mm2? should the 10mm2 not be swapped for 2 35mm2 cables?

  • Post in thread: Missing Fuse in Will's Classic 400 W?

    use them everywhere if in doubt. right of the main positive battery terminal use a mrbf fuse or t-class which is better but more exspensive. this is the catastrophic fuse (if shit hits the fan fuse, it protects everything) these are essential. hypothetically yes they are however not burning...

  • Post in thread: sodium or lithium cells

    is it time to buy sodium cells instead of lithium? at a quick glance, cost wise sodium 220ah cells seem to be a little cheaper compared to lithium 280's. link i found below, weight wise, while it would add up building big banks, especially with sodium cells having reduced capacity. its not a...

  • Post in thread: What 24v inverter should i buy?

    HEY nope purely just an inverter. i was hoping for more than 3kw and i believe victrons next one ups 5kw which is to much.
  • Post in thread: beginner camper battery help ? :)

    hi guys please help, iv bought the parts in the pic and just wondering on a couple of questions. 1) is the mega fuse to high? i bought this first then ended up settling on a 200a BMS. should i get a smaller fuse? 2) i haven't bought a inverter yet and i wondering what one i should i purchase...
  • Post in thread: What 24v inverter should i buy?

    thank you that makes sense now, what inverter would you pair with my battery? as large as possible,

  • Post in thread: To buy or to build

    i disagree with astrobob wholeheartedly on everything :). DIY is cheaper, expandable/upgradeable and can be made to be as small as a whatever your buying. just buy the same or similar components and build a wooden case. wouldnt take much to add usbs or small inverter to this picture or whatever...
