    Luyuan battery case

    Well, I'm the happy guy !! I Chatted with Amy, after her return from vacation. After a few days, I ordered a pair of 8 x 280ah boxes with the newer JK BMS mounting. Payment received 2/27, shipped on 3/7 and I just received notice that they have arrived at FEDEX US, with delivery scheduled on...

    Updated JK-PB2A16S-20PH from v15.06 to v15.10 and lost heat function.

    Howdy, Just an idle thought.... Looks like you don't have the battery sense/thermometer cables plugged in. The new firmware may look for the temperature inputs, before enabling the heating functions....

    Jk BMS help.

    Howdy, I have a number of JK BMS's and have been very happy with them. But one of them developed the exact same issue "cell count is not equal to settings". The board had been sitting on the shelf for a few months. I had hooked it up as an 8S system, with pre-top balanced cells. The system...

    18650 Battery Store Legit? Will not answer the phone.

    Howdy, I've had excellent communitacions with them. I actually talked with Steven in Tech Support, last Friday. He mentioned that they were going to a trade show in Fla. this week, and he would try to work with me while they were out of the office. So, maybe it's just bad timing, which...

    Remote monitoring

    Howdy, I've been monitoring my off-grid system, remotely using cellular, for years. On the MidNite Forum checkout the sections 'Raspberry Pi' and 'Node Red'. Your will need a MidNite Classic, an ethernet cable, a Raspberry Pi, and some sort of cellular or starlink interface. Thru the years...

    Anderson Power Pole-amps

    I've used them for years and they are great quick connect/disconnect plugs. Beware of the cheap overseas imitations, usually found on Amazon and Ebay..... get true Anderson Powerpole products. Powerwerx is a good supplier. Enjoy...

    Steve, As I've mentioned before, I've had this off grid property for 20 years and I have finally switched over to Lithium based batteries, this year. Since your system is almost exactly the same as mine (Midnight, JKBMS, Trace) I've been watching your progress with interest. After the last...

    DOCAN POWER shipping/lead time from TX warehouse?

    I've been communicating with their staff for a few months. To the best of my knowledge although the warehouse is in Houston, the order is being processed by the staff in China. If you put your order in on Friday, it would be Saturday in China. After a number of excellent orders with them, I...
