  • Sponsored post. I liked the battery so much i went on Amazon and bought a second one.
    High quality features at a great price. These batteries are a great addition to our solar setup here at our home and shop.

    You should inquire to see if they have a storage case for these units. Your shop gets dirty and you need a cabinet to house these components. I'm sure that they know that their units aren't the standard size.

    Ohh wowww very nice guys ....I have a question I have gmc conversion van and I did all solar I have a total of 360 watts total on the roof panels my inverter is 2500 pure sine wave. I have 2 lead cell 100 AMP HRS batterys. Wire in parallel.....my system 12 volt 120 electric...but I would like to have small microwave.......do they have a unit like that were I could get ride of my batterys ....I'm learning as I go 😊😊

    Hey i recently bought 4 of these and am hooking up a system with 2 10kw inverters. My question is do these have a way to precharge an inverter so I quit tripping the short circuit protection of the BMS when i connect them to my inverters or do I need to buy a resistor for precharging. This only happens when I hook up battery only to inverter with no other electrical input.

    • @BusGreaseMonkey

      That’s the inverter doing that not the batteries

    • @2muchtime26
      @2muchtime26 2 місяці тому

      @BusGreaseMonkey Yeah the batteries aren't causing the issue but they are protecting themselves from the huge current draw of the capacitors in the inverters. This is not a problem if you have an alternate energy source like grid hooked up as it will precharge the capacitors but if you hook up battery only then the capacitors in the inverters will need to be precharged and some lifepo4 batteries have an option to do this by means of temporarily disabling the BMS until the capacitors are charged (usually in milliseconds). My question is do these batteries have a way to do that?

    If you're gonna run those 2 in parallel you should take the positive from one and the negative from the other and run the parallel links between the 2 otherwise they will run slightly different voltages between them.

    Some relevant information to give next time :
    - Type of cells used ( 21700 / 18650, chemistry, brand )
    - Does it have the ability to control charge % ? ( 80% / 90% max charge limit for longevity ) Leaving lithium ion batteries at full charge or fully depleting them are bad

      @@BusGreaseMonkey, not bad, but, I think I'll stick with EG4. The BMS settings in the Vatrer aren't as conservative as I'd like. I think the ($200 at the moment) extra cost of the EG4 will be offset with a longer life than the Vatrer.

      @@BusGreaseMonkey Are they really made the same? Will the company be in business in a few years for any warranty issues? Is the BMS reliable enough to prevent meltdown? Will the BMS go haywire and open circuit? All things for time to tell us I guess. There is a lot more to a battery than just the cells in it.

      Its not so bad. Almost all of them use EVE-style prismatic cells and a similar BMS. I bought 4 of these from amazon returns with shot BMS units for about 50% of new cost, and smacked in a BMS suitable for my purpose for 120 for each one. The breakers are all pretty standard format, etc. Only thing that requires a little bit of change is the internal wiring, but it's no problem if you have the stuff to crimp medium and larger gauge battery terminals.
