I've really enjoyed watching and learning about solar panels and LiFePo4 batteries. I'm a union electrician with 40 years of experience but nothing as far as solar. I really appreciate you and your channel. The one thing that I would like to know are the weights of the different sized batteries and solar panels. I'm toying with the idea of building a CLC teardrop camper and weight will be a major factor if I decide to pull it with my motorcycle. Keep up the good work.

[@CamaroStylin]

Solid, as always. I would suggest that in the future if you see two temp sensors in a battery, perhaps try chilling or heating them together. The second sensor may be functional, but perhaps is used in a different way than being able to shut down the current on its own. Example, in a clothes dryer there will be a cycling thermostat and then a high limit safety thermostat. One is intended to be cycled, one is not. If a digital control system is taking in two temperature probes, it could be doing several things that require both sensors to be exposed at once: 1) perhaps, like the dryer, one is a safety that is used only in the case of a fault with the other sensor. If this is true, and the digital controller doesn't recognize a fault with the primary sensor, it may ignore the one that seemed to not work. 2) if the sensing probes are wired in series and the controller takes a voltage sample from between them, as a voltage divider (like how fuel level gauges usually work), then exposing just one to high or low temps may not be enough to trigger the low or high temp cutoff. 3) probably a handful of other conditions I'm not going to think of So, might be best to try them individually and then test them together, in case either the controller logic or the physical wiring requires particular inputs. It's not likely that if the sensors are inside a battery pack that their values would be so very different as they would be with different extreme temp exposures (room temp versus very high or freezing temps).

As with many things, the more the market growths the more innovation comes along at a lower cost. We are looking at off-grid property, the home will have a 24 volt system for lighting and low power draws and a 48 volt system for the inverter. That way there is some redundancy so you don't loose everything if one system goes down.

[@pinkpotato1]

Great video again dude. Would love to see you tear down the new renogy 100ah battery with bluetooth as i have the model before with the pouch cells to see how it compares.

[@quercuslobata3776]

I purchased 6 of the Lossigy a month ago. The company seems to make several batteries, basically the same, but some with added features. I have 4 yellow case and 2 black case. The first 4 we're around $330.00 each. In a week and a half they jumped up to $379.00. The black case I got for $345.00. They had pretty good ratings on Amazon. Supposed to have cold temp protection. The 6 are in parallel. We'll have to see long term, but for now they are working well running my Mom's off grid trailer.

[@unionse7en]

still working well?

[@quercuslobata3776]

@unionse7en Have not had an issue with the batteries. Of course with a 90 year old woman, a different issue. She would leave stuff on like she did when she was on grid. The biggest draw seemed to be the rv furnace. At 90 she was cold. Would turn the heater up and forget to turn it down. Then would get too hot and open the trailer doors with the furnace still running. Furnace would run 24/7. Fortunately she is now in assisted living.

Found your chanel a few days ago. It is by far my fav chanel now. You also get to the point, you explain. You compare. You don't waste so much time promoting things and talking about a bunch of useless stuff. I just got handled a solar system. It's a few years old. However I can still use it as my starter and learn about solar more. I know good amount just not enough. I have 3 100 watt panels and 2 100amp batteries. They are the once that you can't get below 50%. So the batteries are the worst, but for getting panels, batteries, wires, controller, inline fuse and 300w inverter for free I can't complain. This is excellent chanel to learn about this. Batteries will be first thing I'll replace obviously. So this is perfect for me. Thank you for having a good chanel and actually about the stuff it's ment for. Everyone knows KZbinrs who spend half the video promoting things or talking about a bunch of personal life useless stuff.

Go to dude for solar everything. Thanks man!

Great video compression, and by the way, the SOK server Rack 100Ah 48v is now even under discount. The downside of all you can't get anything in Europe what was reviewed.

I have 2 chins 100 amp lithium. And I’m very happy with them. Oh yeah I have a victron charge controller. Great combination

[@rickharold7884]

Love the review!! Thanks!!

[@okiedoke6373]

Thank you for your time will it's amazing what kind of job that you do peace and blessings

[@user-bt8qp9yf9c]

Great video, I like how you explain stuff so good. Have you ever tested a Enduro brand LiFePo battery just wondering your opinion on them. Thanks

[@hu5116]

Great video! I only wish you would have give a final summary and recommendation. But I suppose I can review the video a few times and figure it out. Thanks!

[@honeybadger6127]

most excellent video will.... keep them coming like that. I would like to see more videos on raw LFP cells from dirt cheap vendors in China too.

Love the bulk tear-downs haha - good stuff! Sokerdy - Also bothers me when companies can't put "LiFePO4" correctly. It's not "LifePo4" or any other variant LOL. Probably just my OCD. And damn, that soldering job is crap! Vestwoods - That BMS is so tiny, I have a hard time believing that doesn't get super hot. Lossigy - Price went up $30 a few days after my video, was $370 - funny how that works... Also for the cells, you mentioned "who makes them" - they're GFB, seem to be good stuff! ^^ just random comments as I was watching

[@WillProwse]

Right!? That company had so many mistakes in the marketing material, I almost ranted for 5 minutes straight. There is just so many errors, it sure is wild. Right?! That little bms is just crazy. I was really surprised something was not melting when I came back to it. Ahh I hate when they raise the prices. Then our viewers get mad at us for the change haha Ohh GFB's, very cool! Those are good!

[@michaelburke1023]

Hey guys one request please. can one of you do a video breakdown of your preferred DC power supplies for recharging the lithium batteries? Is it safe to recharge a liFePO4 using a power supply unattended (assuming the BMS will disconnect for overcharge protection)? Where can I find these for sale? I find these hard to find and I don’t know any good brands

[@LithiumSolar]

@@michaelburke1023 Have a look at the AIMS LiFePO4 chargers. I have both the 12/24V and 36/48V models. They're ETL-listed.

[@michaelburke1023]

@@LithiumSolar Thanks so much!

[@JGoodwin]

@DIY Solar with Will Prowse, related to the comment of the Vestwoods, would you do a BMS efficiency showdown with some of these? I'd be interested to know how the BMS units used compare.
