ShaunCro got a reaction from Youda in Youda's off-grid LABThanks for the info Youda. I'll play around and see what is possible. Like I said, it was given to me, so didn't really have a choice as to the model, but the info does raise some interesting idea's that I'll explore. If need be, I'll grab a JK BMS and pop it in the box to run the cells. Just enjoying messing around and seeing what is possible with different hardware, and the solar stuff is fun and new to me.
I need to ask though, do the newer Pylon's have current limiting yet? Because from what I have seen with this battery, it's nailing the batteries in the 3rd pack, on the negative side. And, a bit of googling and a couple youtube vids also show a similar thing. 3rd pack gets nailed first, one or more cells fail there, which leads to stress on the other cells through out the battery, and having to pick up the strain, they then start to follow suit. Seems like an issue that needs to be addressed, Also, I notice this was battery 1 in how ever many were installed in the cabinet. Which leads me to believe that it's taking the brunt of the charge, and most likely charging far too fast for these foil packed cells. This is not only the batteries fault, poor setup is also a big factor, and not enough knowledge on the matter. (Or just enough to be dangerous)
