  • connecting an inverter: spark prevention / reduction

    when I attach an inverter (turned off, unloaded) to my battery system there is an inevitable inrush of voltage to fill the capacitor. I wonder what is the best way to do this and reduce this spark. I've read of people using a 0.1Ohm resistor, which I assume is sufficient to slow it down. Before...
  • my small off grid solar shed

    Hi I have been planning this for some time and now its come together. the inside parts the major components for this are: 250W panel (32v) = $20 MPPT solar charge controller = $40 2x RC95 lead acid car batteries @$90 = $180 2000W (4000peak) inverter = $240 sundry wiring and more full...
  • Good morning from country Queensland Australia

    Hey just decided to join with the group as the questions / answers seemed pretty good and while I know some basics fairly well I'm not as experienced as I'd like with some of the details. I hope to help as much as I learn. Thanks
  • why do so few batteries have access to adding water?

    Given how important it is to not expose the plates to the air I wonder why its harder and harder to find batteries with access to add water. Is it just that: makers think people are too incompetent to be able to do this makers want to sell more batteries
  • a general design question WRT higher voltage to lower amps (off grid small workshop)

    Hi I've played a little with some systems for camping (powering a 12V fridge) and have a reasonable understanding of the basics, however my problem is perhaps a little complex so I'll try to explain it as best I can. I want to charge a battery (a collection of cells of course) and use that...
  • a question about LiFePO4: charging and cell balance

    Good morning all of my present lithium experience is with eScooters and larger packs (13S4P and 16S6P 18650 cell configurations of course with BMSs) and I was wondering about how the (there surely must be a) BMS's go inside monolithic 12V 100Ah battery packs go. Accordingly I have a few "newbie"...
  • mobile issue

    Hi I can access the site using my laptop, but when I try to use chrome on my phone I get this error message So just now I tried that link in an older browser on my phone and got a certificates error I thought someone should know
