    So basically from the light bar wiring the negative is going to the plug wire and the positive is going to chassis ground ?

    • @vesautoelectrics
      @vesautoelectrics 8 днів тому

      The light bar positive goes to the relay pin 87, and the negative goes to battery or chassis earth. The earth for the relay pin 85 goes to the headlight wiring trigger (if negative trigger). It’s hard to explain, hope that makes sense.

      Sorry for delay, travelling overseas at the moment visiting family. If you used a diode and picked up the brake light trigger from the trailer socket, then cut that wire under the dash and and go straight to the brake light switch trigger with no diode. Wire colour details are at the end of the video. Some Everest’s can be temperamental and need to be done via brake switch even though of the spec.

I connected the stop light signal at the rear with a diode because my Everest has AEB. Really look forward to hearing back from you, Thanks

      Hey Craig, thanks for watching. Yes i agree, but we wanted to keep it simple, and the customer liked the all in one dc charger. He also already had the solar panel, and mounted it further forward as he wanted storage space on the roof. Maybe down the line he may upgrade to a larger panel and separate mppt to utilise more power?

I have a 250Amp smart alternator in my V6 Ranger, my question is I have two DC-DC controllers (40Amp & 50Amp)in my Caravan, 40 charges my existing Caravan System the 50 will charge my Big Lithium for the inverter. Can I run two appropriate size cables to feed both? any suggestions or advise? Also can I just run the two + red cables and use - to the chassis earths as you appear to have done ? Many thanks love your work!

      Thanks for watching, glad you liked the video. Yes you can run two separate supplies if the caravan has two separate Anderson plugs for the dc chargers. I would use a minimum of 6b&s cable, preferably 4b&s if you have it. Earth to the chassis is fine, you could use one of the towbar bolts for the larger cables needed.

I still could not insert the thermister probe until I took the bottom off as you showed so I could move the compressor control box. I saw a couple questions about the error message. My cooler gave me an error message but it was the Dometic app on my phone that told me that the thermostat was defective. I found a thermostat on eBay but it is not Dometic. The cord is about 6 feet long but it is working. It was only about $7. It was hard to find, so I bought 2.

    Have a Dometic CFX35. This was very helpful! I had to go to Harbor Freight and buy a screwdriver extender in order to get the screws out that held the p-clamps. Then I had a hard time figuring out whether the plate with the single screw goes in front of the to or behind the part we had to move out of the way to access the p-clamps.😤 Accidentally put one of the 14 little screws into a wrong home in the underside of the fridge and couldn’t get it out, co one hole was left without its original screw.🙄. And I was left with a small flat washer left over..(?). But it runs, and it turned itself off when it reached the set temperature.Yay for that! Thanks for including taking the cover off the control board, so we could see where the plug-in was supposed to go!!

      For the customers caravan the grey Anderson plug was to charge the house batteries. Red Anderson for alko esc.

      Hi Rob, I’m trying to remember where i put it. Pretty sure i double sided taped and cable tied it to a module other on the drivers side. Directy above the pedals.

    how did you remove the plastic cover for the rubber grommet on the firewall i undid the bolts and the plastic cover isnt moving

    • @vesautoelectrics
      @vesautoelectrics 7 місяців тому

      They can be a pain, try a flat head screwdriver or trim tool to pry it off. Sometimes they get stuck on the threads, and prying eachside of the plastic just a little bit usually frees it away.

    Hi Matt, Just wondering how you got the SOC Bar Graph to show actual battery left, I have wired one of these as per the instructions but the bar graph doesn't move, even though my battery is 62% it shows 100% on the graph. I don't suppose you could put up some instructions on what you did. Much appreciated, keep up the great work.

    • @vesautoelectrics

      Hi Grant, apologies for delayed response. I had the same issue at the beginning, but can’t remember what i did to rectify the issue. I will have a play over the weekend to hopefully jog my memory and let you know.

    Change that start balance voltage to 3.45 anything lower unbalances your battery because its playing the voltage game and does not correlate to amp hours in the battery due to the flat charge curve

  • @ericklein5097
    @ericklein5097 7 місяців тому

    The JK BMS app shows each balance lead resistance value so its a great way to show people that YES trimming the balance leads does in fact affect the resistance of wire....now the thing is with passive balancing (usually around 100mA on the 50A or 100A BMS's) you have so little current going through the wire that even with 22AWG it shouldn't change the voltage TOO much...but it will slightly affect your attempts to balance if you have one or two full length balance leads and one or two very short ones. The long ones are going to show more voltage drop when the balancer is activated so they will charge higher than the short wires.

    The cost difference between EVE LF100/LF105's vs LF280K/LF304 is just so small that it doesn't make sense to buy the smaller cells. Not sure what the price is on the newest MB30 and MB31 (actual capacity for EV Grade A cells is like 320Ah and 330Ah respectively but nominal capacity is 306Ah and 314Ah IIRC). Grade A EV cells should yield a few percent over the nominal rating during a 0.2C discharge so the 280K's are yielding 300'ish all day and the 304's are yielding 320'ish all day. Last I checked the 100/105's were $55 and 280's were $75-$80 with the 304's coming in at a few dollars more. Triple the capacity for about 50% more? Just a no brainer unless space is absolutely the biggest hurdle....in which case why settle for such....mediocre prismatic cells? Get some higher discharge cells...quite a few options that will do 3C continuous and 5C burst. If you step it down to 20Ah cylindrical cells (or even a few prismatic and a bunch of pouch) you can get 10C cells. Currently the hottest thing in the BatteryHookup/Jehu Garcia world (or any used cells really) is the LEV60F cells. Dirt cheap from BH at $30 each. 74Ah and capable of 5C continuous....Jehu was pushing them at 8C and they were holding 12V with a 600A load. I guess BMW used to use them and they are new old stock, not used. The 4 I've purchased got capacity tested at 50A (so like...0.66C figured I'd give them a hard discharge since they are power cells) and I pulled 72Ah from each one. Internal resistance is about 0.40mR per cell on the RC3563....I know the YR meters tend to give a lower number but their manual does flat out say that it can't be relied upon for measurements below 0.3mR and under 0.5mR or 1mR you need to have the ZR function on. So you could build a 148Ah battery capable of pushing out 1000A technically for $240+shipping on the cells...lets call it $300 USD. Then $50 for a BMS and another $100 for various other parts depending on how you want to build it. Jehu does sell aluminum plates that are meant to keep these cells compressed which is essential for high discharge applications.

    Hi Matt, Love your videos and connected a meter like the one you have to my battery box to keep track of useage on my 120AH LiFePo4 battery. I'm a little perplexed as my SOC bar meter doesn't go down like your one didn't. Could you please share what you did to rectify this so it worked in Part 2 Freezer test. Cheers, thanks and keep up the good work.

      Hi, thanks for watching! Glad you like the video’s. If I remember rightly, I hadn’t set the maximum and minimum voltage’s. Do this to your batteries spec and see if that resolves it. Keep me posted.

      Just lightly cover the whole thermistor with paste. And i always measure how much of the old original cable goes down the hole and do the same with the new one 👍
