  1. Very nice. GPU mining has been very profitable over the years.
  2. I would probably need another inverter as well as wife will freak if she has to limit appliances. I was running the S9 at 1400W all day and 600W overnight from batteries. That was +-R30 a day. And I see BTC is on the up. For me even R30 a day is better than an expensive bidirectional meter and getting any credits from the municipality.
  3. Nope. I have another miner using 2200W so this one not getting used.
  4. Item: Bitmain S9 asic miner + power supply Age: +- 7 years Price: Sold Payment Method Accepted: EFT Warranty: None. Before payment you will receive a video of the unit operating 100% Packaging: Will be packaged Condition: Secondhand Location: East London, South Africa Reason: unused extra miner Shipping: Best for buyer to arrange own courier Collection: Yes Link: https://www.asicminervalue.com/miners/bitmain/antminer-s9-13-5th Comes with factory firmware that boots off of the nand chip. I will also provide an SD card with braiins os+ installed. This allows easy tuning of the miner performance and power usage adjustments from 100W - 1500W
  5. I have 2 parallel strings on one mppt on a sunsynk 8kw. 220v 26A string. On a sunny day the inverter will clip the current at 20A but on a partly cloudy day with all the cloud Edge it was often shutdown the mppt for a few seconds or even trip the inverter with a DC overcurrent fault. Just don't over panel the current like I did.
  6. What's impressive is the C rating. Yes it's early days for these types of cells but the future of battery tech is changing fast. The fact that these cells are coming from CATL is a positive. I'll wait for them to be cheaper than lithium and will build a 8S as a test.
  7. I have not seen a bms compatible yet. I'm not saying I want them but they seem to be a big part of the future. Plus side it could help lower the price of lithium if you would like to stay with lithium. Some Chinese EV's getting sold with CATL sodium batteries.

  9. Hitting the shelves. Also see that lithium cell prices are falling a lot.
  10. Need some info on how you are wiring your arrays and the panel specs.
  11. Get a new seplos or apexium bms. It's a straight swop without any modifications. Shoto used the seplos 10C bms. Good time to upgrade to the seplos 10E.
  12. Why don't you feedback with all those panels? Look for meter reset codes on internet
  13. 100% a Seplos BMS.
  14. Care to show closely what's in that packet? Seplos don't include that
  15. Candice is amazing. Always sorts things out.
  16. Started running a crypto miner yesterday that's drawing a constant 1400W. Left it overnight and SOC in the morning was 40% but woke up to heavy clouds. Now just need to get the miner on a smart plug to be able to switch it off remotely
  17. I would personally wait for the 304Ah
  18. @PowerUser this was always their offering. Even Andy's videos showed this. Now when they are told that their pricing doesn't suit the South African market they put in a very unknown cell that's obviously cheaper than EVE or REPT

  20. Gobel where using eve and rept now giving a cheaper price with Batterotech cells. That are 280Ah cells that test at 270Ah
  21. Never heard of that cell. Probably the reason for the price reduction
  22. Not good. Why don't you just take the cells and organise your own bms?
  23. How long will that take to print?
