On this channel, I discuss everything solar. I do product reviews, DIY solar, and off grid solar projects.
Wiring Inverters For Grid Assist Charging / Bypass
The garage build continues! In this video I cover wiring the inverters for split phase AC input or grid assist. I'm using 2x MPP Solar LV6548 inverters in split phase. With this 50 amp circuit I will be able to charge my batteries from grid when there is not enough solar during the winter months. I will be able to charge comfortably with 6,000 watts and a max of 10,000 watts.

Top Balancing The 48V 280Ah DIY Battery Kit Pt.2 - Seplos V2 (10E)
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.Месяц назад
This is the third video detailing the build of the Seplos V2 (10E) DIY Kit. I can say that the Seplos BMS was initially never intended for the DIY market. With its crude utilitarian looks and strictly maintenance balancer but it is a solid BMS with well-intentioned design features. If you do get a Seplos BMS, make sure it’s the latest V3 version but be prepared for a long time to get a good ini...

Top Balancing The Yixiang DIY Battery With JK Inverter BMS
Просмотров 4,8 тыс.5 месяцев назад
The Yixiang build continues! In this video, we top-balance the battery, and it begins its life of service. For this battery build, I did not pre-balance the cells, I just put them in the box and built the battery as they came. This is a test to see how well the JK inverter BMS can handle the job. If you have not seen the overview and price comparison video, check it out first. 👀 ruclips.net/vid...
Building The Yixiang 48V DIY Battery Kit - JK Inverter BMS
Просмотров 12 тыс.6 месяцев назад
In this video, we are going to build the Yixiang 48V Battery Kit. I found this kit to be the quickest and easiest to build so far and requires minimal tools. I really like the large surface cell studs and the M6 bolts the bus bars are secured with. The cells I got were just a few months old from the manufacture date and tested at 301Ah from a 280Ah rated cell. If you have not seen the overview ...

Apexium DIY Battery Kit Build Pt. 2 - Seplos V2 (10E)
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.7 месяцев назад
This is the second video detailing the build of the Seplos V2 (10E) DIY Kit. I think the build quality of the case is rather good and the documentation is good as well, except that bit about the button covers at the end. However, a dedicated, clearly labeled power button should be standard issue as well as a DC rated breaker for isolation. If the case had standard battery terminals it would be ...
Apexium DIY Battery Kit Build - Seplos BMS V2 (10E)

Building the perfect battery... almost! In this video, we begin building big battery #1. This will be using a Seplos BMS with 150ma passive balancer. Challenge Accepted! We will be using the matched cells from the previous video to give the BMS the best chance at balancing the cells. I have a theory where if I arrange the cells from largest to smallest capacity, this might help to create a natu...
Cycle Testing and Matching LiFePO4 Cells - Building A Matched Pack
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.9 месяцев назад
In search for the perfect pack! In this video I show you how to cycle test cells as well as batch and match them to build a matched pack. I found that LiFePO4 cells will degrade at a rate of about .5% per year just sitting on a shelf, not in use. Its important to perform a maintenance charge of your cells if you are going to store them for any length of time over 6 months. I also found that whe...
