100/30 Installation up and running

Do you have a question?

One of my\n 24 V batteries would only charge to 26.1 and the other 26.8, the voltage. For whatever reason, it wouldn’t rise, I trickle charged it for an entire 8 hours. So I’m trying to figure out how to get the BMS to release the battery. What I ended up doing is I dropped the voltage of the good battery from 26.8, down to 26.1, and then I connected the batteries back in parallel.\n Now I have it in just going to let the charge controller work. It can steal the battery and hoping that it’ll rectify whatever problem there is. But II really don’t\nThis is not having dealt with this kind of problem before

I would strongly advise that you consult a reputable, knowledgeable systems installer in your area to correct that installation before it causes system damage or worse.

There’s a lot of scary stuff going on there. Take a look some of the installation on the “show us your system” page and see what kind of quality of installation you should be shooting for. What you show in that picture is not only inefficient but dangerous. It’s no wonder you are having problems.

I’m homeless. I go and I do what I have to do. So maybe god willing I’ll beable to do what I wanna do. I appreciate your kind words, but this It’s simple. How about you? Teach me something instead of telling me not to do it. [moderator edit: removed off-topic commentary]

An inefficient, dangerous install is just as inefficient and dangerous no matter your social, economic or mental status. Most of us on this forum are self taught. Many of us have traumatic back stories too. :grinning_face:

Unfortunately I have neither the time nor the patience to teach physics, electrical theory, and wiring practices but: I hear you. Victron’s free book “Wiring Unlimited” is a great starting point for you to learn electrical theory and practice, and being free, only requires your time and willingness to learn.

I have to apologize to you. I have to apologize to you. I took a real personal when you were telling me that I was dangerously ignorant, and I wanted to stand on my words to prove to you that I was worth my salt. After I read your message about how I needed to get in touch with the professional installer. I just put all that stuff on you And you didn’t deserve it. Like, 38 years of struggle, honestly, I was at my wit’s end. I thought that I was going to have to scrap everything, and I’m going some shelter. I wish that I could express to you. How much I really wanted to go to college and learn. There was no money, there were no parents. It was just drunks, drug addicts. I owe you respect all the hard work and time that you have to spend inside of a classroom learning from a teacher in your peers. I envy you. And When you challenged my intelligence let myself down Because I refuse to come back to read anymore. Your comments you see, I could not allow myself to let you confuse me into thinking that I couldn’t do it. So I Leaned down what it was that I knew\n I had not planned on coming back. But I needed to know how to network my inverter with my charge controller So I came back to read and find out if somebody else had already posted the information I needed, and I saw 2 messages from you. And I felt lead To show you
And let you experience how proud I am of myself to be able to accomplish this. I didn’t know how to read until I was 13 years old. I dropped out of high school in the ninth grade went back when I was 22 got my G.E.D. I’m turning 50 next month. All I have is my hands my mind. All I can do is show you. I don’t know how I got to this point, but I’m here and I have not given up. I have not touched this system since I Installed it and turned it on. The most I’ve done is taking a wet mop to the solar panels, and some Screenshot. And I’m willing to answer any questions that you got With respect.
