I'm looking to build a version of the Milk Crate all-in-one, but I'm having a hard time finding an MPP Solar 1012LV that would ship to Canada for a reasonable price. For the battery, I'm planning a DIY LiFePO4 based one EVE 280K cells and a Daly 120A BMS with Bluetooth. As far as I can tell...

Hello, About to begin assembling a 12V pack right now with 4x EVE LF280K battery cells. This weekend's rabbit hole topic was fuses and master disconnects. After distilling a few dozen (hundred?) of previous comments, noting the excellent input of @John Frum in particular, I just wanted to...

Hi all! I've got two Canadian Solar 255W panels. Tested them for open circuit and looks good. Today was a pretty sunny day in Alberta. Set up both facing the sun at an optimal angle, and both were individually showing only about a 125W charge being delivered to the battery at ~9A which...only...

Quick question, for a small setup with 2x 255W panels, do I actually need a DC 2P breaker? If I wire them in series, at max solar production it could potentially be 74V at 9A. If in parallel, 37V @ 18A So in this case, would a normal 50A Anderson plug be a reasonable way to connect the panels...

Looking for recommendations here. I'm using the Overkill BMS app with my JBD 120A BMS (JBD-SP04S034-L4S-120A), and after tweaking the settings it's been working fantastic. However, I can see more clearly now that tracking how much battery I've used while I'm off camping is going to be a bit...

Two quick questions: 1) I'm trying to figure out what type of fuse or disconnect I need on the PV panel side of this setup, or if I even need one at all? 2) Is the ANL fuse between the MPPT and the battery even necessary, since I have the MBRF fuse on the battery itself? Thanks in advance!

Looking for the collective wisdom of the forum here. I ordered both the Blue Sea MRBF fuse and block, as well as the South Bend MRBF fuse and block, since everyone seems to know Blue Sea's reputation, but I couldn't find an opinion on South Bend. From what I could find online, I believe South...

Probably a bit of a newbie question here, but I'm at the stage where I'm starting to buy equipment, and with the various options out there I'm wondering which of these three options is better for the most in depth and useful monitoring of my batteries. 1) Bluetooth-enabled BMS; 2) Bluetooth...
