Automatize pool water heating made simple with Sonoff and MQTT!
Done exactly this on my ebike battery and it recovered. Left it over the winter and killed it. Now all good. Ty for the help.
Its the thin trace in the middle at 4:57. The board rests directly against a plastic holder which wears trough the trace. (design flaw) Fix it by bypassing the trace with a new wire.
Any idea how to use the NC/NO pins? I realise they are for Normally closed and Normally open but that's how far I got haha
I don't have all these fancy components. How abrI just use a 40w Solar panel, on my Lithium battery cells to revive them?
@@jamesbondaygee no. You need to limit current and voltage.
Okay this is very cool. What kind of power source can I use to get these battery cells up to a acceptable level for the bms?
@@jamesbondaygee any cc cv
Do I have to remove the battery housing?
Only if you cant reach the balance leads. But if the battery is empty you may not know what lead goes where. Beware that reviving a battery being dead is HIGH risk. DO NOT do it in house if you have the slightest concern
Stupid BMS..... Planned obselesence
Tem algum manual algo traduzido o video nao tem legenda .
If you go with a cheap brand of these, they potentially could fail prematurely which may not be a problem if you actually never plan on using it but habit for an emergency backup
Brilliant, 7 years later and still the clearest explanation how to wire up a balance lead.
Planing to put this to switch my heat pump or whole apartment from A (dynamic tariff) to B(fixed rate). Could fully automate it with smart socket/plug. Make it read rates one web page every day and shut off A power when it goes more than B (fixed rate). It wouldn't brake my appliances?😅
can you do a 3s2p? exactly the same video but with 1 additional battery on each parallel.

@DIY Tech & Repairs Have you found an ATS that works for the solar inverter? Has anyone?

How come nothing happend..as soon as I touch negative and positive together accidentally I get sparks immediately

@@alymilant3570 should
will it work for esp32 ?
@@yuvarajblackpearl could work.
Thanks for nice tips. Please inform what size of inside spring you are using? Dia, no. Of turns & length. Regards
You saved my life, thank you
The problem with this is. The medium that's shorting out the battery needs to be able to withstand the buildup of heat in the battery. If you're using the stranded wire. You need to make sure that it continuously keeps a good connection. If you're using nickel strip you got to make sure the way you attached it and then they will strip itself can handle the heat. But the easiest way to short out a . It is too short out the positive contact with the case of the battery. The shorter length of whatever you're using would provide least resistance and let the battery get hotter
Does this work on Chargers and headphones too
Yes. You can soften most rubber and plastic with heat
Just an observation, not knowing the exact product number, but assuming 4 Ah per cell: I count 180 cells from your video. Considering it requires 4 cells in series to get 12.8 v, then paralleling the 45 series groups yields 180 Ah capacity theoretically. Not a detracting observation to your well presented info.
It's lfp cells. Their max st 18650 form factor is alot less. I said 130 in the beginning :)
Can it control the inverter? I want to change SUB - SBU mode remotely
Yes I can that
@@DIYTechRepairs I have done what you instructed, then I can see where the result is
hello
Ive been saving to buy the digital version(MOES) with much shorter delay time than this mechanical one.Will Prowse has vids. demonstrating running computers and (I believe) even a window AC. Rated for 100k switches!...but this mechanical one ....IDK.
I run it with computers. It's 10ms switch time that is good enough. We need mechanical here to get it approved.
what would one use for a server solar setup no battery?
Grid? You need either grid or battery. Can't use solar only since the sun goes down or behind clouds.
@@DIYTechRepairs trying to do a grid with solar switch, just cant have a delay.
@@SynthToshi no you do grid tie where the appliance use the grid and then the solar sell back to grid. As said you can't or more should not run on only solar because solar need a backbone lite battery or grid
@@DIYTechRepairs so what solution are there for a switch for servers.
@@SynthToshi any ats or powers powerswitch. Like from apc
Took me year and a half to find that wire. Could find just one seller in England
One thing is not clear for me. I have already setup circuit with breakers and everything. How I can switch those for different output eg solar power when both of them are active at the same time?
you cant have both inputs active at same time to same output unless they are made for it. An ATS switches source to the output and is often connected befre for instance a breaker panel feeding it
What was the ambient temperature?
Dont remember now but between 15-20c i would guess
Hey mate Are you still using batrium? I still have the watchmon 1 kit like this one and thinking of setting it up again.
No. I scrapped it years ago in favor for diy bms. It have worked so much better and the fact that it's open source and pretty cheap :)
I have a question, will it be soft like for a long time or it will be harden after it cool down
It will stay soft for a while. It's not permanent but still
Peace be upon you. Is it possible to activate the translation into Arabic?
Thanks Mr. Swedish Man. I'm connecting mine up backwards as I want My solar input system as primary. Thank you Good Job. Gus
Nice i'm using mine to power my house from my EV when power is down or my main house battery dies. It will toggle grid and ev that feeds my solar inverter. I'm just concerned about the 6k maximum rated switches.. Are you happy with yours?
Whats that charging device you are using called?
dps device. Like this: www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=dps5020&_sacat=0&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338074051&toolid=11800&mkevt=1
Have you ever had overheating with this chip? My board looks exactly the same, but there's a notorious overheating issue that seems to be occurring with these boards recently which may be related to a cheap Chinese supplier. I have been trying to get my TTL<->RS232 connection to work with a firewall console cable -- almost the same as your setup -- except I'm using RJ45 pins 3,5,6 (rx,gnd,tx) and having a heck of a time getting it to work consistently.
Not mine. But yeah some quality issues i have heard about before to. Unless its connected wrongly. Then they get hot :D I have done that myself so.
learned what i needed to know. Thanks
is rj45 pinout the same for all the inverters?
No. You need to read up on the inverter you look at how they do it or what protocol they use.,
@@DIYTechRepairs as i imagined, the victor max 10.2kw is , like every china inverter, useless with lack of any after market support. there are no manual or any kind of information about the rs232 pinout.
@@pam8352 They are often closed ports. in some rare cases you get help from the seller but yeah they only wanna sell and dont care about people want to use their equipment. You basically get what you pay for. Nowadays i always start by asking the seller if or how i can hook up to the device :D
Great tutorial. Thank you!
Battery companies need to do better with this crap. I've never had this problem with the lithium batteries for my power tools. I have batteries that are like 15 years old that never go dead like e-bike batteries.
I cannot find an automatic switch that handles DC to DC 48 v array 100 amps I am not using an inverter, I have two 48v solar battery array, I want to use one as a back up, the only item I have hooked to it is connected directly to the MPPT charger. I would like to switch automatically one battery power bank to another when the voltage drop, the switch’s I found don’t handle 100amp input. Any suggestions how to find? I don’t want inverters at all, it would not be necessary for my application, it would only add problems. Thank you
That i would say is tricky. What is the switching time you need? Ie between switching? And what type of security requirements do you got?
i guess i short curcuited my li-ion keeppower with a metal caliper - is done ?
If you add cost to the consideration (and you have the room), solar panels make more sense than the expensive direct solar heating option no matter how efficient. Moreover, you may have your energy demands covered on cloudy days (when the direct solar heating option won't work either).
Why did you say that the battery explodes in the description if it doesnt? Dislike from me
Never said my cells did that. It's more of a statement. Could have added a question mark but whats the fun in that?
@@DIYTechRepairs then what does the part where it says "shorted and go boom" mean lol...what's the fun In making your video title accurate? Gee idk I'll let you figure that one out
@@dustinlaverdure6711 As said its a statement. Il let you figure that out :P Apparantly it worked since you are here? :D
Red cable is + and black is - right? Then why You connected red cable to negative side of cell?
Where did i do that?
Do I understand correctly that reviewer bought the wrong configuration and then condemmned it as crap due to not being wired for the system it's not made for? So this is like the amazon review where they buy the one with the 3 foot cord and give it 1 star because they needed 6 feet? Better to look for a review for the product in it's correct application. Or am I missing something?
It was bought specifically for this market and marked to as that. But no. It was wrong. With that said the product is just bad. I had ordered wrong stuff before but this was not such an issue :)
@@DIYTechRepairs Ah okay, sorry. Seemed to be that others saw you had the wrong type for what you are testing but maybe they are wrong. Anyway, I decided against these for size and I only use simple two pole 120 VAC 15 amps so I could use a Xantrex RV type.
@@ceeweedsl yeah you could argue I picked the wrong one but it was advertised for my area. :) I use a normal contactor built for the purpose today so :)
Hi have a house with, 3Phase, Sungrow SH10RT 10kW Hybrid inverter and 16kW Sungrow SBR160 High Voltage Battery Modules , would this ATS works for my house battery system or, this is for the small solar caravan system? Thank you

❤ Thank you so much, it's perfect for me then.
Thank you very much for this excellent video . Could you please help me with my tenergy tb6b balance charger? I have lost the balance connectors and i need to charge three 18650 cells just like the video.but i don't know if i need to connect just these four cables ? Or the two red and black output port also? Thank you for your help
Tack för videon 😊
I want purchase 4 of those devices. Please advise how we can make this transaction.
