Found a supplier of MRBF fuses in UK...so have ordered those. Cheers for your input DZL.

@BiduleOhm Thanks BiduleOhm. Unfortunately i dont understand it enough to know if this helps me or not, but i appreciate you trying to help me. (y) edit... this is taken from the SCC manual "3.5 Remote on-off The left terminal is connected to the internal 3,3V supply, with a resistor in series...

Brilliant Justin, thats what i needed. This forum is simply fantastic, with the sheer number of helpful folks. (y)(y)(y)(y)

It is a 3v-15v 100A charger(240v ac input), solely for the purposes of top balancing my cells. (no intentions of getting anywhere near 100A though)

Think i will have a go at making your design from some thin polycarbonate sheeting i have...really just need to support the pins. A few connectors and some cabling and i'm good....lol.

Yeah, but they dont state implicitly that you can charge down to that temp at 1C, just that you can charge down to that temp. They are not stating any falsehoods, maybe just economical with all the facts perhaps???

Yes, i see your point. I thought it was folks testing under the 'standard test conditions of 0.5CA' and then complaining they didnt get 100%. (y)

Thanks biduleohm. A definitive answer whether i can : 1. simply connect the positive output only(ignoring the ground) 2. connect through a remote on-off cable or 3. need to use relays to break the connection or some such solution. I had mentioned on a previous thread some months ago, when i...

Would rather not say at this point in case i need to take legal action. Still time yet for them to reply and resolve. It is a UK company.

lol Biduleohm.... i know 'didly' about electronics...so i couldn't even answer your question ?

Many thanks, thats exactly the type of feedback i was looking for. Much appreciated. ;-)

Thanks Folks (y)

If Amy from Luyuan wished to keep ahead of the pack of Eve/lishen cells suppliers, they could do worse than supply tinned copper busbars that would actually carry 1C on the 280AH cell(280A). Also studs with a small flange(instead of fiddly screws) such that when torqued down onto the solid...

Thanks Arthur, mine is a Long wei, bought solely for this purpose and probably wont see the light of day again once i have completed the balancing and capacity testing. :) Never having used a bench top supply before, it is all a bit daunting, when you can easily cook your battery pack....lol.

Yes john, i have the Noalox 30-026 (y)

Thanks for the calcs BiduleOhm. Thats a pita, as i only just purchased a torque wrench that goes down to 5nm. Wishing now i had got the 'bike' ones that go down to 1nm. Oh well :-(

Just thinking out load...and just noted the date of the previous last post.....so your project might already be completed...lol Pity you couldn't put in a ground source heat pump instead of an air source heat pump, as i think the COP doubles, plus it's much more stable all year round. If you...

Thanks craig, but i not sure how this works with my UK 240v mains supply. If charging one cell at a time , up to 3.65v The item i indicated above, takes the 240v mains supply and adjusts output to 3.65v at 5A (I thought that would have been perfect??) Thanks

That is reassuring info to have presented. (y)

Im not cetain, but i think all the 'smart' versions have remote on/off You can search product range here for your specific models and datasheets https://www.victronenergy.com/products If it is a 'combined' unit, then they might not be seperate functions....best check your model

I wish i had a fraction of the knowledge that you guys have, but unfortunately i dont. To my mind, you are still thinking in terms of existing 'passive balance' or 'active balance', both of which appear to manage things mostly in the knees where the larger voltage differences are apparent...

Best Epoxy Strength Test , JB Weld, Loctite, Devcon, QuikSteel fail - YouTube Personally, i have tonight just bonded two nuts onto threaded rod using Araldite Steel. I prefer to go for ones that are 'metal' specific. Araldite Rapid Fast Setting Epoxy 2 Part Strong Adhesive Glue 2 x 15ml Tubes |...

Oh joy Ampster...lol. I think i'm spending more on tools than i did on the cells themselves.... :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

That's a fair response....removing the ultimate risk from cinergi. This is great info to have on the resulting outcome. (y) Well done Michael. That buys you a lot of trust in my books.

Had i not been able to get a good tap on my existing cell, that was my next route(new cell). The only issue was the shipping cost was going to make it expensive, so toyed with the idea of ordering another 5 cells to spread the shipping, then on testing them, i would insert the cell with the...

Magic...gottcha now. Hats off to you on being self taught. ps in my testing scenarios above, all were to be done on a single cell( just for reference)

Click on DIY Solar blueprints tab above then go to video's tab.... spend some time on the video's till your confident on electricity.

Yeah, but still pumping out your wisdom daily...so kudos, where its due. (y)

Yeah joe, i have a BMV712 for measuring my SOC. I'm using the chargery purely for the disconnect protections only. No SOC measurement or balancing. Thanks for your input. (y)

I was aiming for something along these lines for protection purposes. Inv/chg is multiplus 24/3000/70-16 Thanks
