    Home assemble LiFePo4

    I guess it confirms that not all BMS work the same. I would love to build my own BMS considering some of the thought provoking things he covers. I bought a couple of Ecotree 110ah batteries, time and the thought of giving my money to China was more stress than my ticker could handle.

    Victron Orion

    I have an Orion TR-Smart 12-12/30 charging Lithiums from a standard alternator, I raised Shutdown Detection and Lockout voltages from the default. The default could leave the Orion charging the LBs for a short while after switch-off. I also have an IP22 12-30(1), this I have set manually to...

    Home assemble LiFePo4

    For me it was interesting to see Andy's tests on different makes of BMS and how they differ in operation and balancing, probably blows a few people's theory's of how BMS's work.

    Have you watched the YouTube vid's from Andy of "off grid garage" and his tests with different BMS, especially the Daly make that I think you have?

    Works on my Huawei phone my Chromebook and my Linux Mint PC, all use Chrome browser and most surprisingly on an Apple iPad device using Safari. Why it doesn't work for you I don't understand (from here).

    Just tried this on an iPad that has never seen the VRM before. Opened Safari, logged in to my VRM account, changed advanced to proxy/ and it worked.

    I don't know what you get when you select that option, if you don't want my help please say here publicly.

    @wildebus And if you select the "Install certificate" option, what does it say?

    Turbo-charging Motorhome Electrics

    I truly don't have any of these problems to mention. I power up the RPi, Node-Red starts moments after the RPi and runs for months. I've not read of problems like you seem to suffer. If your Cerbo repeatedly crashes or Node-Red crashes or doesn't start I suggest you reinstall the firmware...

    I'm sure I have seen this (must have been early days) and just pressed CANCEL as I've never installed a certificate.

    If you login to the VRM portal on a PC, phone or tablet device, select Advanced from the menu. In the url bar delete the last part of the url which should be "advanced" and replace it with "proxy/" (e.g. vrm.victronenergy.com/installation/xxxxx/advanced becomes...

    If it's not running I guess your Cerbo won't be running either. If your results with Node-Red have been disappointing perhaps the problem isn't with Node-Red.

    Great shame. Find to time and explore its capabilities you may be very surprised what can be achieved.

    Turbo-charging Motorhome Electrics

    As your Cerbo has no digital outputs and if it doesn't have a spare relay output there probably is no point to using Node-Red. There may be no "advantage" to using Node-Red (did I say there was?), it could be an alternative, a 21st century option.

    I know my batteries look normal I don't need you to tell me that. Your understanding of battery balancing seems to differ from mine. A win for the cheaper RPi over the Victron product I guess.

    Turbo-charging Motorhome Electrics

    Typical charge cycle for my Ecotree batteries. Charge current goes to zero as the MPPT's go to Absorption. Can cell balancing take place while the battery is being charged? Balancing, should we say "Top Balancing" isn't this usually done at a fixed voltage? Or are we talking about some...
