    Thanks for the video. I just purchased 4 of these for really cheap. I wondered about the quality but it seems OK. I'm not worried about low temp because I live in California and it rarely gets below 32°. These will be in series and paralleled with a series set of Watt Cycle 100ah.

    Dose anyone know what's happening with the GUI V2? Is there a plan for it to work on the RPi screen as at the moment from what I can tell it'll only work in a browser?

    Thank you! I could not have installed setup helper without you. Putty did the trick! I spent days trying to get the PI 4 to work properly. Finally new SD cards came today and the old SD card was corrupt. Now I just need to figure out how to install devices. My monitor is in my living room and all my solar stuff is at the other end of my RV. VE cable will be very hard to reach. I originally thought it would work off of bluetooth but guess not. Any suggestions?

    Hi, The last couple of updates i have done lost settings and apps like package manager, etc. Are there any tips on making updates more reliable? Also, how is it best to back it up before doing an update? Great videos they have made it so easy to setup my own Pi.

    How about inbuilt BMS battery balancer? Someone said its 30mah only and proper one must be installed in it.

    Is it possible to combine the bluetooth version with one without bluetooth e.g. in an 2P configuration? Would the app show the correct values?

    Thanks for the video . Good to see they haven’t changed the batteries since I opened mine up. LiTime is consistent!

    Thanks for this test! I just bought 8 of these for an upcoming battery storage solution. Looking to buy two 48V 3000VA Victron Multiplus II GX's. The batteries obviously can't communicate with the Victron through the CAN bus, but Victron themselves state on their website that it's not strictly required. DC House provide the Voltage to SOC mappings to be configured. The batteries are cheap now on Amazon. You can go even cheaper with a DIY battery, but for me that's an absolute no-go. I have no risk appetite for all the hassle I'm seeing people get into, with all the cell imbalances going on etc. These batteries to me seem to be the perfect option in a tight package.

      @@tobisreallifeskillswithtobi For now I'm still digging into the documentation to figure out what my setup and wiring should be. Just found out it's probably better to buy two 'normal' Multiplus units and one external GX module. 😁
