Lithium Battery BMS Behavior

[SethB]

Well, @Sweeney you can write it off as business expense, right? Training and evaualtion?
One thing I have noticed is its not easy to find auto shops, stereo installers or even RV repair places that can trouble shoot trailer-hookup, ctek, lithium and solar issues, from the TV start battery to the RV house battery.

Some just say "our insurance wont let us do anything solar" etc.
What it really comes down to is the ability to troubleshoot at the basic wiring level but understanding how new things added in the system, interface.

So you have that going for you at a high level.

I think there are far fewer auto electric shops than we once had. I feel lucky that the major u-haul is not so far from my house, and their trailer/hitch/electrics shop is not bad, because our local auto electric shop went out of business maybe 10 years ago.

If you are anywhere near fishing or recreational boat fleets, there is still a lot of custom marine electric/electronics work being done, including cool parts and accessories, solar, lithium batts, etc…

Got same tip from a senior victron support guy who happened to be sales manager for Precision: go to a marine service place at harbor that does solar on boats.

With the construction and hardware on these little "glamping land yachts" being aviation-marine grade or inspired, it makes sense that way too.
