Got my order placed with Amy. Adding a fourth 24v battery to the first build and adding cases and JK inverter BMS to them. Will pull the 4 weakest cells and build a 12v battery for other uses.

Both are still available. https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/43734/multiplus-ii-12v.html

My other unit is a Multiplus 24v, 3k, 3000. It is a nice unit. The advantage to the earlier units is that they are shorter, albeit a little deeper or thicker than my second unit which is the Multiplus II. This could be an advantage in smaller spaces if the 12v is similar.

For a few dollars more you can buy a brand new unit from Current Connected which effectively has a 10 year warranty. Ok more than a few dollars but you would be getting both support and warranty.

This has been resolved, thank you for pointing this out.

Same here. In this case with my portable build. The Multiplus handles neutral to ground bonding internally based on whether it is connected to grid or stand alone.

The first photo shows the position of the upper support bar positioned below the Multiplus exhaust port. The second shows the ambient temperature after the charge mode has been running for a while with the cooling fan running.

Topping off the tank.

Here is an article which discusses this technology. In this case they discuss a roof mount. https://www.solarreviews.com/blog/guide-to-fiber-optic-solar-lighting

A number of years ago I saw a fiber optic collector which had the same advantages of a light tube but did not require a roof mount. Not sure if it is still available.

Found myself in a small country store in Amish country. They had this lighting system. This is not intended as an endorsement but rather was curious what non electric lighting approaches others are using...

My Mom was an excellent cook. Some of her best recipes required a “rest “ period while the dough rised. If one takes the time to look at antique furniture the workmanship was exceptional. The same is true for a well built solar build. Proper top balancing, firm crimps, correctly applied shrink...

I have a mechanic that I trust with my cars. It wasn’t an advertisement in a slick add that took me to his shop. It started with a face to face conversation. And then a successful repair followed by countless successful repairs over the years. The BMS I chose is similar. I have read posts from...

Ok. Bitten by the bug. Planning on adding battery cases and updated BMS and screens to my build. Will be adding an 8s battery (can you really have enough?) and reconfiguring my build wall. Then there is reality. Paying for everything. Since we enjoy such luxuries such as food, clothing...

If you look through the forum there is a lot written about the JK active BMS. I used another highly recommended brand before and am planning on moving everything over to JK. The one Andy mentioned is being adopted by many. There is also an earlier version with a few less bells and whistles being...
