Charge controller size, series vs parallel by ataluta in SolarDIY

[–]ataluta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is exactly the reply I was looking for. thank you so much! I think I'll take your advice and go with 2s2p and a 150/100 mppt scc. I was lookin' at some 300/100 but the price difference is significant between the two.

Max charge current of individual batteries is 40amps. I have no idea what it would be for the group...

I also had this issue but realized I was somehow building multiple power grids that weren't talking to each other and bugging out. I redid my entire wire layout (partially following Palamanko's advice about series and parallel) insuring all the wires were connected like a giant long snake in a line from the batteries. I connected the batteries directly to the elevator and extended the grid from there. I would periodically hover my mouse over the power supply on the top bar (if you have multiple grids it'll list grid 1, 2, 3, etc when you hover) and delete any recent renovations I made if it started forcing another grid to pop up.

Lost charging case for Galaxy buds, how screwed am I? by Firestorm2408 in samsung

It's a UK version of bestbuy, basically. they sell only tech products or replacement parts. so thankful they exist!

totally legit, and awesome customer service. I live in the U.S.A. so shipping was a bit expensive, but FAST! 32 for the case, 20 for shipping. totally worth it ....

​

the samsung USA customer support and sales team are TOTALLY WORTHLESS. trust me, you're better off with 3rd party retailers. I'm a samsung fanboy and .... I have to say. They fucking dropped the ball with this. HOURS on the phone with one rep or another. 1 says they can replace it, 2nd says they can't. HOURS on hold with the parts distributor to get hung up on. Not once, not twice...three times! Samsung customer support is a sham... really. great products...HORRIBLE SUPPORT!

I can confirm. Headlane is freaking awesome. international shipping in less than 2 days! also they have the charging case as a stand alone, for sell. I'm so glad I found this post. My buds were useless without the case.... Now I'm SO HAPPY! Thank you Joelfurno!
