Good vid... Question: How do you size the wiring/interconnects for the batteries (the short wires connecting each battery to one another)? As we all know, wire is expensive and I want to size it correctly (safe but not too much overkill) Thanks..
Fantastic content and I’m a happy subscriber. Can I ask why you chose these batteries for your golf cart? Do you believe that the Eock battery is superior to others or was it for some other reason?
So at/below 5°C heaters turn on to keep the battery at good temperature (i guess +5°C) for charging/discharging. how much watt per hour is this feature using? Does it use the energy from the battery itself until it is empty in case there is noch charging on a very bad day? When it is empty, does it pull the energy from grid until it has enough energy to maintain the heating without grid energy and it is able to cold start? All this questions come down to: is this heating feature economical or does it pull a lot of energy during winter time? thanks a lot, nice video
Humm, I tried connecting two strings of different wattage panels. Just like you, one string was 200 watts, the other 100 watts, which I hooked up just like you. Everything worked fine until about 1 1/2 years later when I noticed a power drop. At first, I thought it might be due to passing clouds. Then, I thought it might be dirt on the panels. So, I went to clean them and noticed many thin, shiny lines in the panels. It turns out the panels were degrading prematurely, and the manufacturer said it was due to connecting different watt panels together. So, I hope the same doesn't happen to you.
A normal 1500-watt space heater will draw 12.5 amps when turned on HIGH, and if you are plugging into a 15-amp circuit in your house, you are close to that circuit threshold.
Well, I built the same thing, mine's not as pretty as yours, but it works! EXCEPT! If you accidentally click on 'kiosk mode', how do you get out of that mode without rebooting the Solar Assistant...I can't seem to figure out how to do ESCAPE! lol Thanks for a great idea!
I know this is an old video and I've liked it because it's well explained but I hate this monitor with a passion. I've gone through 2 now. Firstly I can be at 12.2v on my AGM but the monitor will show 98%,, I've reset and calibrated a million times. The voltage on the monitor is 0.2v out compared to me using a manual multimeter or just running a volt meter, and the bluetooth will always display 1% less that whats on the monitor...It's done my head in, the only thing I use it for is amps coming in and out.
Thank you for this great review, no one else has tore these apart to look. What sold me was the build of the battery and the display, I can slap an inverter on the top and the display will show all I need. Anyone that builds a battery like that with a custom case and display, you know the cells got to be good also. You code you listed gave me 15% off of the battery which already was on sale for $299, so it gave me a battery similar to LiTime but better imo. Thanks again! Now if you can recommend a pure sine wave converter at 2000watts that is real and not fake for a good price?
Thanks for all of the great videos. I am looking to upgrade my motorhome to Lifepo4 batteries. After watching this video and others, I think I've narrow my search to the Acoucou or the power queen group 24 with bluetooth. I will be using 2 in my coach. Which would you recommend and why? Thanks for making videos. It sure helps to see the interior build quality.
This is 100% what happened to me today with their 1200W. I have had the unit for about 90 days but today is the first time I tried ot used it. I contacted support. Will update this when they respond.
Ah got it, would you say that you’ve had any issues with static build up or dissipation of charge? I only ask because there’s a huge debate on forums as to whether or not these systems should be grounded in homes and more specifically RV chassis for campers builds.
Makes complete sense, I know will prowse mentioned the dangers of multiple grounding rods and charge gradients on equipment. For now I guess I’ll run a floating system as well. Thanks brother!
@@marklemus7864it's not wise. The floating ground is dangerous. These growatts are not designed for that and can and will cause hotskin conditions. If the ground outside RV is wet and you touch metal RV and your barefoot it can kill you if you have current running through trailer or the metal siding.
@@Roll2Videos, I have the Licitti 2000w new generation battery box with 4 280ah batteries and built in BMS. In regards to your reply, can I just leave the batteries, as you have shown in the video, connected for balancing. The cells are sitting at 3.17v as shipped. Does this matter? How do I discharge a battery pack after a first top charge?for best performance/ capacity of this pack.
It's hard to find any that do. Most of them are made to run at 230V for European, Asian, African etc markets. They half the voltage to sell on the North American market.
I saw these two reviews a bit late, at least your first one got me worried and this one feels a lot better, i just saw, and thank goodness they updated the battery because i got one on the way, i ordered it a couple of days ago with the screen and bluetooth. I will use it as a utility battery in my sailing yacht to replace my battery bank of two lead acid batteries. Thanks for your video, I hope they did or can tweak the voltage settings, from what i understand though in the bluetooth bms you were supposed to be able to tweak them ?
Have you range test this? I have seen this brand of battery pop up a couple times and I am very interested in it!!! I would love to get more range than my lead batteries for when I take the kids to the ranch in my Yamaha drive
For safety, always put positive on first. With negative first, if your tool/wrench hits ground when attaching the positive, you will short the battery and possibly hurt yourself, the battery, the computer or any combination of the three.
Still trying to figure out what to do with the battery power stations I keep around to cover power outages in the house. Storing them at 50% charge is kinda counter productive since I’m counting on them to keep my home going in an emergency.
The high frequency, 6000XP is not UL9540 certified. YOU CANNOT LEGALLY install this inverter in the US with solar panels, so you'll never get it permitted.
Absolutely love mine and am extremely impressed with it. Got a short on mine. Made a dolly system out of it. Just till we build out our utility shed then will be adding one or two more
The warranty is 70% at the end of the 10-year warranty. Because it has an LFP battery, it possibly will retain 90% of its capacity after 16 years, but it's not guaranteed.
