Again, I agree with all your points. However the scope of my project has grown since I purchased the 4 x 304 A/H cells. My aim is to make a powerful portable all-in-one universal powerstaion for use on film/photography sets. (see attached pic) The added bonus will be to take it away camping and...

I've read the lacklustre reviews for the older Ender 3 series printers however I'm prepared to gamble that the new versions have improved and addressed the previous issues. I just bough the Ender 3 V3 KE which has better specs than the 1st model I linked. (300ºC printing, improved rails/supports...

Budget is defiantly an issue. I'm prepared to spend the AUD $300 (plus material) to begin with. In my little research online, it seems that many of the problems that plagued the previous Ender 3 models have been addressed with the V3-SE so hopefully it will be passable for my infrequent use...

Thanks, thats a great lead.

I'm considering purchasing a 3D printer (Creality Ender-3 V3 SE) and using it to print (amongst other things) parts for my solar builds. The first project that has driven this idea is for a custom bus bar incorporating ANL fuses. The file can be viewed here: Thingiverse Fuseholder for 5x40...

No, not necessarily. But perhaps I would have purchased less powerful BMS had I been aware. I’ll be using the inverter and battery to operate cinematography Lighting equipment. The runtimes would not exceed 10 minutes in one session generally without powering them down

Well spotted. That gives me a bit more confidence in this setup for now.

3000W inverter

I'm building a simple 12v battery for a DIY toolbox power station. I've ordered 4 x EVE LF304 cells and I've also ordered a 300A BMS JK-B2A8S30P The planned configuration is a simple 4S1P which will give me 12.8v and 304A however I've only just realised by reading the specs (attached below)...

I regularly see 100, 120, 150, 200, 300A/h etc batteries in the marketplace but given 280A/h cells are relatively common, you rarely see them as pre-built versions. Can anyone explain why?

The width of the existing straps are 50mm. however I’m having trouble sourcing this size in Australia. I thought the safest bet would be too reinstate the same materials as came from the factory. One concern is however would be that the 50mm wide strap would hide the terminals, making it...

For now, I was just planning on replacing just the side that was pulled off.

Thanks, that is a very educational reply. Does surface area play a role in the capacity to handle greater loads? I’m not sure if the design of the nickel plated sheets having a large surface area compensates for thin material.

Thanks, I’m learning as I go so good thing this post is in beginners corner 😀 These are the closest battery specs that I can estimate the cells to be: Nominal capacity: 15Ah Continuous discharge current: 75A Maximum current discharge: 5C

It's a general purpose 12.8V 135Ah battery. Pics explain it better here I have a 1200W inverter that will be used occasionally but it will be mostly use to run a portable camping fridge and lighting. The back story is that the battery was refunded under warranty due to a short that killed the...
