Yep, I can't wait to get 8 more and my all in one!

@@GBear Gonna be awesome!

Boo who?

A company called California Battery.

Yep

Careful on those rechargeable light bulbs. One brand made in USA IS BEING SUED FOR CATCHING FIRE.

@@GBear oh! Thanks G Bear👍

Many years ago. I still remember how to play, arthritis in my fingers won't let me finger more than a few chords.

Yep. But the news said it wasn't going to affect the U.S....

@@GBear they are starting out early this year, i got to do more bracing on my panel to get ready hey have a good day

@@leetaves9143 You too. Stay safe.

ya g bear im moving slower and slower i use to drive a 18 wheeler way out where you live from minnesota

@leetaves9143 I drove class 1 years ago too. Gave up that license, and motorcycle, and chauffeur when I moved towards retirement.

I'm a Rock Star!

@@GBear Hah hah!! I got it!! Yes...yes you are!! LOL!!

Welcome aboard! I'm glad it helped! Plenty more in my playlists.

Yep. I hope I can film the first Mars launch.

Welcome aboard! Thanks for clearing that up for us.

Thanks Dotty! I love them!

Lol

@miguelsalami 😂

No, they are not waterproof.

In my situation

When my inheritance comes, I plan on getting a Sungoldpower all in one, 48v 10k, split phase with Bluetooth.

@@GBear oh that’s gonna be awesome

@southernohiosolarhomestead8477 I've been running my A/C all day since 930am, still on, with ceiling fan, and the well pump kicking in for dog water, dishes and a shower, and still at 13.6v on my 4, 12v batteries through my Midnite. Apparently the massive amps were the problem, because since adjusting them down, it has been behaving well. I bought some #4 wire today to replace the #8, but am not in a rush to change them, since it's running just fine. I'll wait for the heat wave to pass.

That's the sodium bulb model.

@omegaroyal 😂💯 🧂🧂🧂👍

Yeah, I'll be doing a follow up filler video using these in different places after dark. They didn't send a discount code in time, so I'll post at that video.

👍👍

Thanks

Yep, going to buy 4g wire today.

Welcome aboard!

@@GBear i would also buy a 500amp shunt capacity monitor so you know exactly how much battery % is left so you know when your batteries are about dead or not, judging batteyy try capacities off voltage on a Lifepo4 is extremely hard and not very accurate

@@joshwayop5413 Welcome aboard. Yes, I have been searching for a 500A shunt.

🫡👍

They happen all the time here. Some are really spectacular.

@@GBear Hope they made it okay!! I keep thinking about the one we saw on TV a few years ago that blew up not long after take off!!

@@uppanadam these launches are unmanned. They are launching satellites only.

@@GBear Ahhhh!! Thankyou for clearing that for me!!

@@uppanadam You're welcome. The one I long to see is the first Space X manned Mars mission. They are still working out the bugs in that giant rocket.

You're welcome! It happens every few weeks.

🫡👍

It wasn't as spectacular as others have been, but still cool.

Sure are!

​@@GBearExcellent 👍👍

@miguelsalami Turned on my A/C at 9am and a ceiling fan, then went to town on errands. Now back and resting, 103° outside, 88° inside. Battery at 13.8 when I left, still at 13.8 now.

@@GBear That's what I want to hear. Amazing 👍👍

Yep, could be.

Seems to be running fine with the amps limited at the controller.

Yep, the book recommends 46A charge, and it seems to be working just fine.

Yep, up and running just fine since I limited the amps to the recommended 46A.

Thanks.

Yes, recent videos are the start of converting to 48v 10k system

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard!

I'll do that as soon as I'm sure the system is set right.

Yeah, I'm being told to get a shunt with battery monitor, but having trouble finding one to handle 920a.

Yeah, I had them for 10 years, but the search for more power goes on.

Yep, no quitter here.

I'll see tomorrow.

Welcome aboard. At the higher amps the wires were extremely hot.

I have 4 batteries in parallel, not series.

@@GBear Yes, parallel not series, but they're still right - the amperage going to the batteries will be split between them. You talk about your 8 gauge wire not being hot anymore, and it was hot before - it's because you're using undersized wire. Best I can tell from a manual PDF I found, that controller will take up to 4awg cable - that would do fine for 90 amps at a few feet. 8awg should have no more than about 40 amps pushed through it.

@@wanderingzythophile9083 8g is rated for 50a, but yes, safety says 75% of max.

Yes, the Midnite won't shut off float all together, so it's recommended to set it very low instead, so it never reaches that setting.

Elon Musk explained it well. At zero charge percentage the batteries can handle a lot of current for fast charging, the last 20% charge takes as long if not longer than the first 80%. It’s like musical chairs, when the chairs are taken away (no more open slots) the electrons have to bounce around and find an opening (empty chair). Bulk charge for max current then at 80% full charge absorption should kick in at a lesser current then float should be zero because there are no more chairs to fill. This is very different than lead acid which loves a trickle charge. However, with lifepo4 in real use scenarios the inverter is usually drawing something so as they drain float goes to absorption or even bulk as you draw down the batteries. If you can set float current to zero.

@@GBear Victron! When you go 48v you should consider one. Victron can charge a dead battery. Also stay away from wind turbine to lifepo4 or run it through the lead acid then to a dc to dc charger.

@@WattsinWattsout The Sungoldpower will handle it all just fine. The turbine will go through the Midnite Classic

@@WattsinWattsout I set float to low cutoff voltage, so it can't float.

Lol

Yep

No AC or fans running last night. BMS shut them down because of over amps.

Yep, but not that hard.

Mine says max 46A

Exactly the numbers on the watt meter
