See you have solved your issue, for anyone else if they ever have the same message . If the wiring is correct then it is likely that wiring is too long.

I suspect access to the frame tube is blanked off. KT do a 30mm dia tube controller about 200mm long would be ideal to conseal in a bikes frame if ne could get at it. I have just swapped out my lcd4 and gone back to the lcd3 as the 3 works better, with the 4 odo read out was hit and miss...

Those rare earth types are ideal , the only reason for the hole is so peeps can cable tie them on. You can use ones with holes or without , it all depneds on how they will be secured.

Yes, that was for Casainho's earlier OSF work which in the main is all now merged with emmebrusa's work, which has moved it all on a pile .

For battery storage it is assumed that ultimately one isn't going to use some 40% of the cycle to ensure good cycle life so what ever ah/kwh capacity one is looking for one needs to factor in a battery some 40% greater then the proposed. If one wanted a 5kwh usage then one needs to cater for a...

A flat roof depends where it is, ultimately for planning the flat roof is the main house roof but like me if you have a garage flat roof area this is some 3m below the main roof ridge line. Cost is all down the spec of the system esp battery storage, there will be days/weeks where some of...

The fogstar's whether drift or modules use EVE LFP modules.

Related to battery storage is the efficacy of collecting those rays whatever the weather but more so when the sun is shining. The below calc allows you to input all the facts to see the best angle or direction to orientate panels. PVWatts Calculator (nrel.gov) On top of the page (at the my...

If one keeps the current in the setting at 12a or less then heat may not be an issue, it may depend though on the terrain. Most of the ES issues one suspects is they push the current to high and want 700w or more continuously from the drive. The heat mods may not be totally needed though I...

Yes Fogstar sell both the modules and 12v Drifts with the smart functions but with BMS one will have issues if wanting a series 24v battery. All will depend on the pv voltage rating. The 12v Drifts have a 10 year warranty.

I was in the mind set that compressors work 30 mins on, then 30 off and so on. But as flecc say's, use a power meter for an exact figure. Your maths is almost correct except for the decimal point, the power user per 24hrs should be in the realms of 70 - 80 wh. 0.300w x 24h.

No controller needed as the wisper has one, just wire up the battery, wire polarity corectly to the existing controller.

Most won't have the opportunity of a night tariff, like me one is stuck with a std rate tarrif night or day. Even if one had a battery set up and opportunity to use cheaper night time tarrif to charge one still is conned by the daily std charge rate for not using power.

No because profiteering utilities only like taking money and not returning it to the end user.

Totally agree, obscene profiteering. Esp as one can buy the similar capacity for at least if not cheaper a third of that price. Even a stand alone LFP leisure battery of 3.6kwh is a third of that price or a 5.52kwh battery comes in at under half that price.

End of the day it depends on how mobile one wants the battery, at 26kg it isn't something one will want to heft about to often. LFP module are 5.25kg each. For most lithium batteries are the unknown but there is nothing special about connecting them. The prices seen for some Li...

The DAS kit I had a good few years ago was generic, if the battery connection is a generic two wire set up then any battery of the correct voltage is fine.

In the UK if said cycle lane is bound by a solid White line then it is an offence to drive or park in one. Like wise the cycle boxes at lights are the same yet I am always seeing vehicles occupying them at lights so cycles can't use them, think it's time I started using my camera more and...

It's too soon yet as only have 200 miles on it , albeit 95% towing. I am quite liking it now I have tinkered with the firmware settings, removing street mode now makes it feel like the Kt's with the extra power if needed. No matter which version one buys of the 48v TSDZ2 they are all the same...

And for the same money or less one can, if they are able to simply series & parallel modules together have a 6720wh battery at 12v or a 3360wh one at 24v with a BT BMS and an inverter. If only wanting a 12v set up then 3360wh is under £1000. LFP Modules are easy all one has to do is link 4 x...
