    New 10kw NHX AIO From Watts247

    Actually this is just his experimental side project, his main array is 44kw. his main system is has 4 sunny islands and outback flexmax 100 mppts. also just to clarify, he didn't have enough panels hooked up to put out 15kw of power, but just setting the max charge amps above 190 caused the...

    New 10kw NHX AIO From Watts247

    my brother picked up one, and has found one flaw that Ian did confirm. Battery charge current doesn't work right unless set at 190 amps or less. so while you can have 16kw of panels hooked up. only about 10kw of battery charging is available. Apparently you can still use the rest to power loads...

    New 10kw NHX AIO From Watts247

    ok that makes sense. I was thinking real solar wire. there's not much that I do that I use thhn single strand for. my ac is usually romex or mc and solar is use2. I was starting to wonder how you where finding solar wire for those prices.

    New 10kw NHX AIO From Watts247

    yes but in negative numbers, so I'm wondering if the wires are passing through the sensors in the correct direction. with my clamp meter if I clamp backwards the numbers are negative forwards positive (just by reversing which way the wire goes through the clamp) just wondering if that could be...

    Any idea on "cleaning" dirty electricity from dual fuel generator?

    I know this is an old thread, but I was just fighting this same thing on an lv5048, and came up with a unique solution. Thought i would share. I tried adding a resistive load to stabilize the output, but it didn't work, then I was thinking of how an inductive motor load backfeeds power while...

    I just direct shorted my brand new 135amp LiFePO4 battery - is it toast?

    if you want to make sure the charger is dumb enough, just use jumper cables from running car to your battery. pos to pos/ neg to neg.

    I just direct shorted my brand new 135amp LiFePO4 battery - is it toast?

    sla charger should work, but it will need to be a "dumb" charger. smart chargers read the batteries voltage before outputting a charge. since your battery is effectively turned off there will be no voltage out. so if hooking it up to a charger doesn't work check the charger leads voltage with a...

    New Battery on Amazon and Ebay - Global Power 12V100AH LIFEPO4 - $399! Has anybody actually bought one yet? Torn it down yet?

    if you're electrically handy check the parallel cell voltages, (small 5 wire connector on bms) there are 4 parallel strings wired in series all 4 should read around the same voltage, they are probably severely out of balance. should meter out something like wire 1-2=3.3v 2-3=3.3v 3-4=3.3v...

    How can Current Connected improve?

    not to hijack the thread but freight101.com small business transport. free quotes without an account and in my experience Always the cheapest option.

    How can Current Connected improve?

    based on his comments on other threads this may not give me my answer. Distributors have to honor minimum advertised prices on products, basically to be a distributor you can't advertise lower than list price. Just trying to figure out if eg4 is allowing ss to use lower advertised prices than...

    How can Current Connected improve?

    so I guess the next question would be can you sell the eg4 items for the same prices signature solar gets to advertise them for? or does signature get to undercut all other distributors?

    EG4 waterproof vs server rack batteries for an 6000XP system?

    serviceability. if anything goes wrong with them they are sealed units. if you can depend on timely warranty coverage not a big deal, however if you ever need to service them yourself, rack mount batteries can be opened sealed units are much harder

    Anyone buying these 305ah envision cells?

    yes that's true, it needs some time to react, at which point it becomes hfa and offgasses severely toxic fumes. So like idk, sitting in a hot car truck all day? Do you think that just might qualify?

    Anyone buying these 305ah envision cells?

    It's formed from the electrolyte reacting with moisture, the carbon coating on the cathode is fluorine doped, when exposed to water the electrolyte releases fluorine gas and hydrofluoric acid. It is a lower concentration (aprox 4-10%) but that can actually be more dangerous, as the are no acute...

    Are Signature Solar refurbished items a bad idea?

    Signature Solar's business model seems to be "stand behind any new offering that we are trying to hype, but when things we've decided not to reorder have problems, ghost the buyers unless they humiliate us on the forums" If they are selling something that is revealed to have known problems they...
