Does anyone on here have this 48V 100 ah Weize server rack battery? Compared to other server rack batteries, the price seems too good to be true. That and free shipping, apparently from a US warehouse? What's the catch...

Wow, that's crazy prices, but risky........................

Does anyone know why Victron charge controllers price just went WAY down? I recently purchased a 100/50 for over $300 and now I see it is on Amazon for $184!! Will these prices last? New pricing strategy? New models coming out?

My current mini split project, lots of lessons learned so far LOL.

Will solar panels get fried if there is an EMP attack? Google gives differing answers.

Are the pouch cells any good?

Excellent questions, I have no idea, maybe someone with more knowledge will chime in. I would test it but I have kids and thus no time.

I got it from my shunt battery capacity monitor, I don't remember the voltage this morning the pic below was taken at another time.

Thanks Bill, I will check everything but the only variable between the 34 watts and the 375 watts was me turning off and then on the LV2424 so that is my prime suspect right now. Also, I have three smaller panels on a different charge controller that is measured by same shunt meter as the...

Yesterday I ran my batteries down to around 25% of capacity in my RV using some power tools. This morning after the sun was well up I went out to check on the battery state of charge and charging watts. In full sun it was only getting 34 watts of solar from 1000 watts of panels. I thought it...

I had 2 different MPP Solar units fail, one was throwing an error code upon installation and the other one started putting out 220 volts instead of 110 volts, 9 months after purchase. I bought from Ian in Utah (https://usamppsolar.com) and each time he immediately sent out a new unit before I...

Thanks Capt Bill, interesting results. I will do some testing and see what happens with my setup. I just ordered 8 new 272AH cells so my current strategy of 27.8 bulk and 27.8 float as recommended by Lion Energy might not be the best for my new cells.

Yesterday I changed my settings to 27.8 bulk and 27.8 float as recommended by Lion-energy. It worked! It charged right up at full charging watts and stopped charging when full. I will keep testing and report back if anything changes, but right now I consider it solved.

I contacted Lion-energy and asked what settings I should put for my bulk and float, and they said set both to 27.8. I will try that next, but am not optimistic.

So I am still trying to find the best settings on the LV2424 to fully charge my batteries. As previously discussed, at around 40% state of charge (SOC) my LV2424 would significantly reduce the charging watts and the sun would start going down before the batteries were full. The smoke from the...
