  • What 282 kWh CATL LFP look like

    I was really lucky and was able to bought new old stock of four 70.5 kWh CATL batteries built to be use on electric truck (class 6-7... you know, big truck, but not semi). I didn't really know what was inside at the time of purchase except they are 70.5 kWh, 96S (309V nominal) and 228Ah cells...

  • Reduce well pump starting current

    Hi I used a 2400w 240V (10A) inverter to power my well pump. It work well since a week now, but today the inverter was in overload. I restart the inverter (supposed to supply 20A for 5s) and the well pump work... for a moment. I measured 19-20A peak load when the pump start so I guess it's...
  • Adjustable Relay / Contactor BMS without balancing

    Hi I try to find a relay BMS (no fets) for my 7S battery build from Ford Fusion Energy cells (7S 6P, 26V 144Ah). I really only need a monitoring BMS who will maintain a power relay/contactor closed up to the moment an event happen (HV cut off, LV cut off, temperature should be nice, but not a...
  • Victron MPPT quantity for 4 panels

    Hi We plan to add 4 panels on a 40fts catamaran sailboat to have around 1600W of solar for a 12V system (5 kWh LFP battery). I can use 1 or 2 or 4 MPPT for this project. It's just to choose between different Victron product (one 250/100 or two 100/50 or four 100/30). Remark that all those MPPT...

  • 360V DC input split phase 120V/240V AC inverter

    Hi all I would like to connect my large battery pack (60 kWh (360V 167Ah) Chevy Bolt) to power my house in case of blackout, but it seem like inverters to do this are rare. For me, it a non sense to build another 12V or 48V battery who will not be use 99% of time instead of using this large car...
