  1. Or you can use all 16 of them.
  2. Yes I tried that and working but I just left it at bulk of 27.6V.
  3. It's LFP. You're right, I've since found out from other forums that from 27.5V the battery is full and there's no need to push it beyond 28V. I turned on Equalization just to test that the battery can reach 28.4V but it's off now and set to bulk charge of 27.6V. Below it's a fully charged battery and happily floating at 27V.
  4. It's a JBD BMS. I did not have time to top balance cells in parallel but charged them to like 3.5/cell in series (with BMS connected) and topped them individually to 3.65V/cell. They are fairly balanced with about 7-10mV delta.
  5. It's only limited to 13A on utility power and up to 70A using other sources but the enduser will be using utility only to charge.
  6. I have a DIY lifepo4 battery and Mecer 24V 3kva inverter. Inverter settings are as follows: 01- UTI 02- 20A 03- UPS 11- 15A 26- 28.4V (bulk) 27- 27V (float) The battery does not reach the set bulk voltage of 28.4V when charging, instead it stops around 27.5V. What could be stopping the battery from reaching the target?
  7. Post revival. Has anyone recently bought anything from them?
  8. @Nic77 I'm interested
  9. Bump
  10. Thanks for the feedback Flouw. My brother is looking for a small backup system and this battery coupled with a 3kva inverter would be ideal.
  11. @Flouw how is the system treating you? Are you able to power the microwave? I see the battery is rated for discharge rate of 1C, have you tested this?
  12. How much?
  13. Good morning, Anyone else who can vouch for these batteries?
  14. I saw someone recommending it on another forum, following with interest.
  15. 15 cells connected in series, probably 3.7V each.
