  • Post in thread: Are these LF280k? & How many amps are stock bus bars rated for?

    Let's assume nickle plated copper Are those good enough for 280a? I'm running my full time camper off a multiplus 24/3000. That should only be 150a sustained, but if I forget and run the microwave and ac and water heater etc then I have pulled 250a out of my existing 2p8s pack
  • Post in thread: NOOB Load testing question - hobby charger 308duo

    I want to test some new cells that I received I have an icharger 308duo that has data logging (I also have an ISDT P20, but am less familiar with that than my Duo) Is there any reason that I can't put a load on an 8s battery and use the 308Duo to monitor the cells for health? I realize this...
  • Post in thread: Multiplus 24/3000 and Daly 250 Smart BMS

    Thank you! So what fuse would you recommend between the Daly 250 and batteries? And between the Daly 250 BMS and the Victron 24/3000? Thank you again! Oh, no. Not 4/0 awg but "4" awg wire. As in 25mm2
  • Post in thread: FOUND: 1/4" x 1" Copper Bar stock in USA

    I just grabbed 6 copper bars, 1/4" x 1" for $84 delivered. I emailed with the guy before I made an offer. Super cool dude. Most of his bars are 10-5/8", I asked for longer if he had them, and he shipped me 6 @ 11-1/4" long. Fast shipping, too! On ebay
  • Post in thread: What is my shunt actually for, if my BMS also has internal shunt?

    Please read all of it and answer the overall question, I'm not looking for specific advice, I'm trying to understand a concept. I am looking at building and using 3 separate battery packs with Daly BMS Why can't I just use the BMS as the shunt? Why would I need to add an extra shunt to the...
  • Post in thread: What is the actual amount of energy for %100 of my pack? I'm not just asking here first: I've been trying to find out/understand.

    Yep! That's where I got my charge profiles from! Nice! What do you mean will have? I already ran out! LOL! But yes. I have 15gal extra and am also working on a recirculating hour shower with a small 500w on demand water heater. I figure if I start with propane hot water, then a 500w cartridge...

    so what approach works best when confronting your sales agent about the fraud? Feel free to DM or email me (myusername at hotmail) so it's not on a public facing page, if you prefer
  • Post in thread: 2p8s pack misbehaving cells

    TLDR possibly replacing two cells misbehaving in my 2p8s EVE280 pack that I built 2 years ago for my camper. Victron multiplus and 2kw of solar on the roof Daly 250 smart bms No1 is charging faster/higher than the rest of the pack and no4 is charging slower than the rest of the pack See pics. I...
  • Post in thread: Triron 4210N and multiple RS485 devices: NOOB /sorry

    Can I daisy chain multiple rs485 devices to my EPEVER Triron MPPT? I want to use the MT50 display and RS485/USB PC software at the same time. The MT50 display is rs485 with an RJ45 plug on it There is an RS485 usb cable for PC software with an RJ45 plug on it The Triron 4210N has an RJ45 port...

    Title says it: I need an RS485 cable to plug right into my Daly 250 Smart BMS from the USA for quicker delivery, please.
  • Post in thread: Fastening x3 BVM6612P-335 together for 27' trailer roof mounting

    I'm sorting out how to mount my 6 BVM6612P-335 panels on top of my 27' travel camper. I'm planning on a 3 mounted together as a single panel in the front and 3 as a single panel in the rear, as seen in the attachment. They are 77x39, 1.5" thick, 58lbs each, and will make two arrays measuring...
  • Post in thread: What is my shunt actually for, if my BMS also has internal shunt?

    And this is what I was thinking. I feel like there are many parrots repeating what they have read who don't actually understand why and where you want a shunt.
  • Post in thread: Are these LF280k? & How many amps are stock bus bars rated for?

    Please explain what specifically lead you to that conclusion. I am asking sincerily. I see your pic of the fake qr code. How do you know mine are fake <i have edited this question>(i am also about to go try to peel/investigste mine rn) I see octagonal terminals on your b grade example pics...
  • Post in thread: NOOB Load testing question - hobby charger 308duo

    Right! But, *that's what's gonna happen anyway. I have 36 cells to mix and match 16 have been used in 2p8s for a coupke years 16 were just deleivered (with fake qr codes lol) And 4 are leftover from building that first pack 2 years ago
  • Post in thread: What is my shunt actually for, if my BMS also has internal shunt?

    have you looked into a ccgx or venuspi? you can use the vrm portal to access that data from anywhere. I"m actually looking at using daly paralell bms and wnt com boards to plug into my venuspi to be able to track and access even more data I'm actually waiting for my chinese supplier to get me...
  • Post in thread: Victron Multiplus 24/3000 Low voltage disconnect: I don't understand some simple detail, I'm sure

    My multiplus went into low voltage disconnect at 25.8v but I have it set to 23v. I have a Multiplust 24/300 in my camper on 560ah 2p8s eve280's I also have a BVM712 and a RPi running Venus. The venus and VRM sees all my equipment and works as it should I used the USBMK3 and Vconnect to make the...
  • Post in thread: Are these LF280k? & How many amps are stock bus bars rated for?

    I did. He then sent me a photo of another cell like mine that "EVE directly to the buyer" but YOU CAN SEE THE OLD QR under the reburn He assures me they are authentic He even sent me photos of some papers he printed off that maybe look like they could be anything to do with something And did you...
  • Post in thread: Are these LF280k? & How many amps are stock bus bars rated for?

    -How do I know that the black plastic on top or the qr code was just not %100 centered? It doesn't appear as though my qr code is ontop of another/previous qr code -The laser etching feels right, to me. -The color around the qr code is just the aluminum that it's etched into If I...
  • Post in thread: Buildilgn an Eve 280 battery array for my camper: for your review

    I'm building a 2P8S Eve280 cell array and trying to sort out torque on threaded rods to compressive force on the cells. While I am not compressing the cells for the purposes of compression/extending life, I *AM* trying to build a solid and stable unit that will be mounted full time in a travel...
  • Post in thread: FOUND: 1/4" x 1" Copper Bar stock in USA

    It's cheaper than I could find incl tax and ship from regular suppliers.
  • Post in thread: What is the actual amount of energy for %100 of my pack? I'm not just asking here first: I've been trying to find out/understand.

    It's seems such a simple question to ask and I can't quite get a straight answer/understanding. I have an 2s8p Eve280 battery arrangement = 560A @24v nominal I have my BMS set LVD 2.5v/cell 20v/pack to HVD 3.65v/cell 30v/pack I have my charge equipment set for 28.2v bulk and 27v float. My...
  • Post in thread: Are these LF280k? & How many amps are stock bus bars rated for?

    Alkaline, how do I *know* what a legit Eve Qr code looks like? I'm not doubting that they have burned over the original QR code, but if I go to my bank, then I want to be able to say "here is a legit qr code and how we know it's legit; and here is the fake qr code and we know that it's fake...

    How did that work out? I just ordered 4 of those bms with parallel adapters and 4 of the wnt boards
  • Post in thread: Victron VenusOS driver for serial connected BMS - JBD / Daly / ANT / JKBMS / Heltec / Renogy / Tian / ECS

    I literally just received 16 more eve280 and x4 bms so I can split my current 2p8s into x2 8s packs and have x4 8s packs in paralell with every cell monitored. There is no advantage to running non garanteed cells in paralell. Or garanteed ones, for that matter. The 4 bms cost me $400. Daly...
  • Post in thread: Brand new setup and 1 cell out of balance? Not sure how to fix this

    This is what I have done. I turned my victron down to 5a charge current and 27.4v charge voltage. That is where the 1 cell starts running. I have left the active balancer on, and monitoring the cells as it's balancing. Will the active balancer have issues with or cause issues for my Daly 250...

    Thank you, this is what I was asking for
  • Post in thread: VenusOS read Triron/MT50 devices?

    I was so excited when I learned that VenusOS can run on a PI and do really cool things with Victron devices! I wanted to figure out how to get Venus to interact with my Daly BMS and Triron 4210 MPPT's @Louisvdw has been awesome enough to solve the serial read for the Daly BMS and now I'm on to...

    So, 300a Class T between the BMS and the battery and then what???/ 250 ANL between the Multiplus and the BMS?
  • Post in thread: Is EPEVER MPPT solar charge controller capable of low temp shut off?

    I want to make sure that I understand. IN "device parameter settings" it has -40 listed as lower limit. *This is for discharge AND NOT what I need to change? In "control parameter" panel, it has "libattery protection" enabled <*THIS* is the setting that does the protecting? Thank you!
