    Good to see this post. I was considering Seplos mason but will now hold off.
  • Post in thread: Apexium or EEL?

    I added my Neey by drilling holes for ballance /sense wires. I mount the new on the outside back of the box for better Bluetooth range.
  • Post in thread: Anyone buying these 305ah envision cells?

    US stock they charge more for storage and handling. That is what I was told. I think it's nonsense, but what can you do? I paid $690.00 for the Apexium diy box. Maybe I should of looked into EEL more.
  • Post in thread: Can this terminal be tapped?

    I've read post of people drill and tapping holes with a bottoming tap. Andies off grid garage shows a repair as well.
  • Post in thread: Apexium or EEL?

    I like the EEL terminal compared to a special terminal that may be hard to find or replace. I guess my concern is from a few negative comments about EEL. So far I haven't heard bad about Apexium. Maybe it's just too new?

    I've been a "member" for a long time. I just don't post a ton.
  • Post in thread: Lion Energy UT1300 at Costco again

    I got 2 Rebel batteries but I'm thinking of grabbing a set of these to compare. I could find a buyer for 1 set.

    Not enough to build the solar array I'd like to build. This hobby helps keep the pockets empty

    How far south are you. I'm in Klamath.
  • Post in thread: Apexium or EEL?

    I've seen a few videos and read a ton of comments but I'm not sure if I should be Apexium or EEL battery boxes? Each one has its pro's and cons. Each has had pos and negative comments. I wonder if I'm missing something that would help me decide.

    Some really cool builds.
  • Post in thread: Apexium or EEL?

    I converted N.M to inch pounds. 5nm was close to 43 inch pounds. 6nm was 53 or something. Since I went 45 inch pound with my Wheeler fat wrench.

  • Post in thread: I would like a solar panel set up that will power my 240v well pump. (for back up emergency)

    You're correct. Nice catch. Lol.
  • Post in thread: Apexium or EEL?

    My phone is not seeing any Bluetooth signal from the battery. I'm right next to it.
  • Post in thread: Question to do or not to do

    Is item 7 from his list the unknown?
  • Post in thread: 2004 Winnebago Chieftain

    If it was for trickle charge would there be any hardware? I don't see anything except for a red light for solar charging.
  • Post in thread: 3.2v 280ah cell shows zero on multimeter

    Any pictures of the pack and cell? How are you measuring the voltage?
  • Post in thread: GWL 'single cell' charger (for Initial top balance or capacity testing)

    I was thinking of build cells in a 12 volt pack and charging with my rv's progressive dynamics 9160al lithium charger. Any reason not to? Building a 48V bank after the top balance.
  • Post in thread: Troubleshooting Solar Power Issue - SC Volts, 0 Amps

    Cool to see some resolution.
  • Post in thread: Apexium BMS app

    Thank you. I think I can see the BMS and cells. I've tried making changes to a few parameters and hitting save. Not sure if it really did anything.
  • Post in thread: Apexium or EEL?

    The Apexium battery terminals didn't allow me to use the 4/0 (0000) battery cable I had built. I may be able to swap out a positive and negative terminal with the EEL style.

    That's cool.
  • Post in thread: A-grade 304 Eve cells - fake, or real? What to expect?

    All this makes it difficult to want to purchase cells.
  • Post in thread: 2004 Winnebago Chieftain

    My motorhome has a small solar panel on the roof. I don't see a solar charge controller or any other hardware. I've looked around all the breaker boxes and looked at wiring. Roof panel is about 12" x 18". I see a single reset able dc circuit breaker. Can someone tell me more about what it is?
