I actually lived off grid for almost a year and it was fun but also with consumption planning as I don't yet have a sufficient bank/solar array to completely stay off grid and 110k won't make that happen. Ultimately I may get to that point but na slow and steady. Make I no con auction 1 kidney grin

I get U my brother, but 110k will move U closer to ur dream place. Y burn it on someone that will eventually hurt U badly, think am well. U had stayed almost a year, and U no die Abi? So U can go more, all U need is consumption planning, which I understand it's not easy.

Hmm...... Now I get your point, this would be an interesting experiment, thinking through this logically am not sure it will work; which of the BMS will terminate charge, unless there is a way the BMS exchange information I don't think the Daly BMS will do this out of box. Which of the BMS will connect to the battery positive and charger negative. It's somewhat complicated something o.

Fyi - I have a unit of 24v 320A ANT BMS left

Not the way you mean it.

For instance, a 24v 200ah LFP with at least a C rating of 1 will still allow 200A charge-discharge BMS. But you only have 60/80 amps charge/discharge BMS installed.

If one isn't able to get a 200A BMS, can one get similar BMS and connect in parallel with the existing 60/80 Amps BMS to get a 120/160 amps charge/discharge rating on the battery pack?

Of course most times the emphasis will be on the "charge" amps because I don't expect to approach 120 amps discharge @ 24v on regular home appliances but I would love to have my battery bank full within 2 hours of the sun emerging.

And I believe this can be achieved. These LFPs are now the types co-opted to electric cars in recent times shifting from Li-ion 18/65/0s use. And these cars when recharging can reach 50% capacity within 15 minutes (fast charge phase) and then full 100% charge in 45 minutes.

A "different port" BMS should be easier to work with in such scenario but I also believe "same port" BMS will work.

The urge is too much and knowing myself, I will still try it out one of these days but with a dirt cheap but functional BMS of course.

The 24/320 BMS is LFP, I guess. Have you swapped out the BMS installed in your pack for a higher rating one?

Still acquiring some cells, so funds aren't available for high strung BMS just yet.

Yes it's 320A but can do 3.2v or 3.7v(LFP or li-ion) it's also a 7s to 16s BMS with Bluetooth.

I wonder. Is it possible to parallel two or more BMSes with similar ratings on a battery pack in order to squeeze more juice into and out of the pack, keeping in mind the C rating of course.

Has anyone thought about this?

Will Prowse has thought of that. Check out this YouTube video. You may jump to the time 4:35 to get the gist

I would be an ingrate if i don't come here to thank you guys for your constant advice and guidance on our solar journey.
.

Our solar inverter set up is now a year old and still going strong.It has become one of our most prized possessions because of how it makes life very comfortable for me and my family.

.
It may be expensive initially,.But it's worth every penny spent and even more.No regrets at all !

Sorry for responding late please - it appears I was banned for reasons unknown.

It is okay to use at least two rods bonded together. You can always add more later for better results.

High level analysis here - two rods driven into the goround are essentially two resistances in parallel so you can expect about a 40% reduction in overall resistance (very desirable to have resistance as low as possible) when you drive the second rod and another roughly 20% reduction in overall resistance when you drive the third rod. Clearly as you reach 4th and 5th rods driven in the ground there is little incremental benefit to be had.

I lay out this science so you can be guided and actually enjoy the benefits of multiple rods driven into earth - you plan to put the rods close together BUT this will not help at all and may even worsen things The rods must be spaced at least twice their length apart e.g an 8 foot rod driven into ground must be placed at least 16 feet from the next rod to be sure you are getting the benefits. Knowing my penchant for over engineering I go 24 feet spacing for each 8 foot rod I drive into ground

Apart from the above caveat, everything else you have planned is on point and should give you the planned benefits. I am glad you are taking time to plan out the install before execution. Most people just execute with poor preplan and then deal with the issues later.





Thank you sir for the detailed explanation. Your advice is noted, I'm grateful.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Trippledots(m): 5:41pm On Jul 12, 2020
mank1234:
The issue with such low voltage is the stabilizer
Asume you're on 86v converted to 220v, that's 2.56 times conversion. If power suddenly changes to 220v your stabilizer will momentarily output 562V before it reacts to the change. That's is enough to damage some equipments. This happens in milliseconds but some equipments can only withstand such for few microseconds.

Low cost power strips with no self protection for their MOV will catch fire in such situations. Some electrical fires you know nothing about starts this way.

Please listen to oshiomo12 advice.


Now i know why my digital battery charger caught fire when connected to stab twice.... I later learnt somwhere that it shouldn't be connected to stab and it will work fine, but i have been stumped as to why that advice..... It all suddenly makes sense now.

I get like 50v on some days and my stab can't even up it past like 70-80v...then it suddenly jumps to 110v or thereabouts. Mstchewww... Uselessness

Is there a way to convert an AC fridge into a DC fridge or freezer, I wonder if anyone knows about HVAC enough to contemplate that. One can DIY a faulty old AC freezer and re-purpose it into a DC fridge and give it a new life. At least one would not have to bother about padding and heat conservation since that would already be taken care of.

Sorry if the price tag of the fan dey vex you grin grin grin... But, it's not selling at gun point.

To answer your questions:
1. It's not a rechargeable fan as there's no inbuilt battery. But, the 5V 2A USB option give room to use with any power bank of choice.

2. How can an energy saving fan be an industrial fan.

3. What would you call a fan that is capable of adjusting it's speed according to your room temperature either from high speed to low speed or from low speed to high speed as the temperature reduce and increase respectively...

May be you should do your research and know the price tag for such fans.
