I purchased this 1000w Inverter off Amazon for testing my BYD packs. At 1000w they stated in the instructions to limit continuous use at 70% (700w). So, obviously, I completely ignored that. I ran 3 load test on the system using this inverter. 748w for 46 hours 868w for 38 hours 1100w for 16...

Been looking for terminal bar connectors. Various sizes to pick from (center hole to center hole) would be very helpful. Google apparently has nothing to offer except contempt and disappointment... Thanks for the help!

Can someone explain the difference? When would you want one or the other? Benefits?

If I find that my lifepo4's are below freezing, say high 20's low 30's, and I get the room to say 75-80F, how long before I should consider safe before charging again?

Title says it all. Blow up about a foot from my face. Don't ALL red wires go on top? ?

My inverters switch has 3 settings. 2 "ON" positions, On (Power Save Mode), and just On (no power save), and then "OFF". The remote I got has +/- in, +/- out for 2 wires. So I ran the On (no power save) and Off wires into the IN side of the switch and ran new wires from the Out side of the...

I'm not completely confident on my boost duration time for my lifepo4's. What I Have -8 x 8S 60ah 24v giving 280ah usable -Morning average starting voltage is 26.2 to 26.4 -Upper limit set point is 28v -Current boost is set at 28v for 120 minutes -Float is 26.4 -No equalization - Use 3 Epever...

Went to connect a set of panels to it for the first time, and get a repeating beep on the EG4 all in one, but no fault code. Its just 4 x 380 watt in series. 181v at 9.41 amps. Way below the 500vdc max. Everything is in palarity is correct. I my try skipping the combiner box, but thought I'd ask...

Recently (before cold snap) my batteries were around 80f average. Since the move to another cabinet with heat from tank heater pads and temps dropped with an average temp of 41f in the cabinet my power (voltage drop) has been huge. Charged to 27.2v most days, which would stablize to 26.6 with...

Ive been using a Dometic RM1350 propane/electric fridge for the last 4 years. Its been a great fridge, but have enough lofepo4 battery in place to upgrade. I'm looking for a inverter type but not even Google can find it apparently. I can read about ALL the great wonders of such an amazing...

Semantics in solar threads, when you say or are asks "how many watts of solar?" do you normally assume that's production per hour or per average in a day (unless its context is specific to some piece of equipment). I've seen it stated as just a number, such as "I installed 2000 watts of solar"...

I picked up a set of heating pads from Amazon for my batteries. They have a built in thermostat to turn on at 45f and off at 68f. Only 2 wires red/black going in. I want to connect an LED light to it that will come on when its ON and goes out when its OFF. Not sure how to accomplish this with...

Bought to analyze the batteries I purchased. Used maybe twice after that. Granddaughter lost the XT-60 cable that came with it. Normal screen scuffs from moving it around the bench. $80.00 and PayPal is fine. I'll cover shipping. CONUS only please.

Never mind....got it. I'm just dumb... ?

Any of you have this Drok unit? Did not come with instruction....

Glad they made the move!

Will has said 14.2v for absorbtion. My MPPT(s) also have the ability to set the Absorbtion Time as well. Currently I have it set for 45 min (I must set a time) but not sure about that. The system is 300ah 8s5p (24v). Charge rate is .2C.

Upgrading the system and looking for more. The ones I have (40) were sourced local and thats all he had.

Like many that have converted to Lifepo4 and still use there existing inverter charger (or an inverter with no charger) and only able to select a charge profile such as Gell or AGM (no lifepo4 option) there is a company called Progressive Dynamics here in the USA that makes a device marketed to...

I have 10 of these packs and would like to parallel the cells together to mitigate the cell drift they experience at the top end of charging. David Poz did a video on how to do it with these packs but did not show the cells in detail. Any help on which cells to connect together would be great...

In a nutshell. I have a bunch of new 60ah. But as I need 8s I'm 2 short for another set of 8. I only go to 30 dod on and only charge to 90%. So would adding 2 50ah to the 6 60ah be a problem? FYI they will have a Daly BMS.

There is a guy selling Winston style lifepo4 pretty close to me. Obviuosly im going to check voltage levels but as I will have no way to check with a load, what else should I be looking for? Expansion is another, but is it apparent when housed in a plastic case? Also, they are only a few years...

I have 3 of these units, all with the same config. But, one of them won't keep MY settings for lifepo4, max charge of 28v (100% charged), and equalization time of 1 minute (can set to 0 unfortunately). Keeps reverting to the default of 29v, with equalization of 120 min. I tried both, modifying...

In another another thread the OP brought up low temp disconnect, which lead off to a much larger low volatge train and not using Victron battery protect. But, what cought my attention was someone (sorry, I forgot who) mentioned that the Epever Triron series will cut off during a low temp...

Ive been aquiring a lot of cells, 8 at a time (8s 24v). As I want to be sure I'm getting what I paid for, I purchased a CBA IV battery analyser. However, I would like to be able to charge/test individual cells on occasion. Does anyone use or know of a charger that can do individual 3.2v lifepo4...

Had a good SOC Chart for my sealed setup hanging on the wall next to the battery monitor for reference. Been looking for something similar to it but haven't been able to find one. I know it's not the same due to the fast drop towards the end but is there something you use that works?

Picked up on Wills recommendation video a TimeUSB 220ah 12.8v lifepo4 battery The plan is to just replace the house battery with this unit. But, it appears the BMS has a different plan. When I connect it to the existing batteries location, the voltage drops to 0, and you can hear the BMS...

Didn't find a previous post specific to this. Have a genset that has a remote start key fob. To activate, you press the Start button twice to start, and a separate Off button to turn off (single press). On the generator itself, you must press the Start button twice to start it as well, once to...

Why would the EG4 all of a sudden start reading .31 volts lower than the actual? This is a problem as the actual charging results have been .31 higher than the batteries max recommended amount. Note: As the bank is comprised of (12) 12v 220ah units wired in 3 series sets of 4 batteries, making...

The Daly BMS (model DL8S) feature set stipulates "temperature protection" but no details of any kind. I hate to assume anything, considering the cost of my bank, but does this device actually prevent charging should temps fall to clpse to freezing? Or does this mean high temp protection of...
