    NEEY app - Can't set password?

    I recently picked up a 4A NEEY balancer and set it up... noticed the change password setting, that sounds like a good idea...punched in new (first?) password, failed. Is it possible to add a password to the NEEY 4A? I'm using the EnerKey iOS app.

    Mirlen's Solar Saga - The Beginning of Another Addiction

    The little 12v battery i s still struggling to recharge, darn winter weather...but it's getting there! All 4 cells are staying within 1-3 mV of each other so far with no balancing yet. The 48v LifePower4 battery however was not working out as well. 1 cell was always low and I was seeing...

    This was rattling inside my MPP 3048, should I be concerned?

    So I went to move my new MPP 3048 and this 1" thin piece of plastic was rattling around inside. Not sure where it goes but maybe someone here has torn one down and can tell me? It doesn't look broken so suspect it's an insulator of some kind that pressure fits somewhere?

    Mirlen's Solar Saga - The Beginning of Another Addiction

    Santa tossed in 4 EVE LF304's in my stocking, along with an antigravity generator evidently... Wanted a clean 12v build from the 4 EVE batteries so used a SFK kit. Went together pretty easily but wiring those terminals can be a PITA...had wires too long and just not enough room to fold them...

    Torque specs for EVE LF304 dual bolt welded terminal

    I see the spec listed on EVE documents is 6 Nm for the cell terminal, but nothing specific to the bolt-on terminal.

    Torque specs for EVE LF304 dual bolt welded terminal

    What torque should be used for the EVE LF304 with the new dual bolt matte finish welded terminals? Am putting together a 4 cell 12v, waiting on some proper lugs for wiring the BMS so just have them at about 4nm right now for testing. I did some searching but wasn't clear what these terminals...

    18650 Battery Store Legit? Will not answer the phone.

    Have requested the spreadsheet for my cells I ordered. I got the cells in good condition quickly but they don't appear to be very good at follow-up/communication. I think I've contacted them 3-4 times so far, and still no E-mail or anything in regards to the spreadsheet they claim they will...

    Santa said to order a 48v battery and an All-in-One to make a portable setup...sooo, ordered a LifePower4 rack battery and an MPP-3048, now just need to get some wire and lugs and get this thing planned out...thinking of a small combiner box for 2-4 PV inputs for later possible additional power...

    Review of Cerrnss LiFePo4 48V100ah battery modules

    This is such a beautiful example of how doing business with China is such a pain in the ass. Disorganized, bad communication, lack of follow-up, questionable ethics. It's like a drama movie you didn't want the lead role in.

    Got a SmartShunt so I know which way the electrons are moving on my copper racetrack...added temp sensor too since this is in the garage. This is totally up to code and completely inspected....totally!
