7) What is the best fuse wire? I only use 1/8w resistor legs http://j35.us/ResistorLegs
8) Why not use Supercapacitors?
A. Batteries work better at this time, caps are rare and expensive devices that are very good at doing things not needed for storage systems typically.

    is it possible to know how to disassemble the batgo? I would like to open it to add a relay

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Scott Wright๐Ÿ”Š says:

    I love this thing! I only use it to monitor my cells tho. I use a Heltec balancer.

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Commontater says:

    Data logging is important in my mind . At least in setting up any battery , balancing amounts to a pocket full of resistors . . . Lol . Thanks

    The grey cell , is the lowest . its the one that won't be losing charge

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bigislandguy says:

    What would you recommend to monitor and balance a 12v, 64ah. Headway bank?
    Iโ€™ll be using it for mobile audio. But I could always hook up an inverter to it for emergency back up.๐Ÿ˜Ž

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Laurent C says:

    Maybe it's best to have a cell logger which only job is to show you the voltage of each series (+ alarm trigger). Then you can use a hobby charger at home to charge + balance them.

    Can this work on 3 banks of lithum

    Did you get a chance to explore this or other balancers that behave the way this one did in the video when you removed the 1st cell? I bought your 7s starter kit and I'm repurposing the BG-8S for a smaller 24V system, much like your stackable modules, just with the LiPos from Ring doorbells, from Battery Hookup. I have most 7s packs working with balance leads connected to a little PCB breadboard with an 8pin IDC male on the end, emulating your design with 8pin ribbon cable v. 16pin. My question is regarding my struggle with my wiring/soldering/? causing strange behavior. When I plug a good pack up to the BG-8S, it show 1 through 7 all good around 3.9v and I can balance them, etc. However, a certain pack will show values 1 through 8 with values > 4.2v and 8 shows 1… v in RED??? I've checked all my leads over and over again. I test all the cells individually with a voltmeter and they all read around 3.9v, I then test all the pins of the IDC connection and they all read properly Neg to 1: 3.9v; Neg to 2: 7.8v; etc. up to 27.3v for the full pack. I don't believe there is any shorting going on, otherwise the output at the pins wouldn't increment properly…right? Just tired of scouring the interwebs for troubleshooting when every review is less useful than yours, for the most part, starting with how to remove the shrink wrap on the box…sigh… If you have any video I haven't come across in your arsenal, or any other community members that understand what my issue is please share a link to help. Thanks…you transformed my life into exploring off-grid living so much so that I bought 40 acres of raw land and feel completely empowered by just your powerwall builds to know I can succeed. After getting this 1Kw ammo can "Sunny" working, I'll be building a 5Kw unit with some 200Ah LiFePO4s, currently on a slow boat from China. But, I need to get an understanding of this issue first.

    where do you get one of these for a set up with 10 18650's in series

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars s waleed khalid says:

    can we use this battery meter on 12v AGM battery ?

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Miles Moore says:

    What does "Delta" mean ?

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Keith Rose says:

    The sell one that charges too only $20 more

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars E. Adler says:

    Never use this battery holders on your pcb board. Please.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars E. Adler says:

    Jehu…hi I am glad to see you introducing this pcb specially this one, because someone has designed in internet and it was free to print as a board throug JLCPCB then i got it 5 pcs. Just to try…they are very BAD. I had BAD experience with them,
    1st the distance of each battery is very near so that there is the posiblity of contact and short-out.
    2nd 2of the 4 corner screw are very near to the battery, here also there will be battery-short.
    3rd the balance pin indicators wrote incorrect sequence which means when you follow GND…first pin ….B1…2nd pin the writing sequence are not direct to the pin.
    In general i dont suggest that the person like you have to use this.
    , unless you correct those faults.

    YOU FORGOT WHAT THIS VIDEO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT BATTGO!!!!!!!

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars shiNOS says:

    Is there anything like that for a 16s?
