Re: [RE-wrenches] Pytes Batteries

[Kienan Maxfield via RE-wrenches]

From what I’ve seen in the discussions here, some people think they’re well 
made, but when you do need technical support for any reason, good luck… maybe 
people have gotten some support, but if my memory serves me correctly, the 
general feeling I got reading the posts was that there was no support.

Thanks,
Kienan

Re: [RE-wrenches] Nuance ground racking

[Kienan Maxfield via RE-wrenches]

I own the Dewalt 2 inch 60V rotary hammer you linked and it is totally awesome. 
You’ll be blown away by it. It’s totally worth it.

You might want to make sure to just use the huge 12ah batteries that it comes 
with… might be a lot of power demand fire smaller 60V batteries… but I 
regularly use mine with the smaller batteries and I’ve never had a problem.

I mostly use it for drilling 2 inch holes in 8” concrete walls for bringing 
conduit into basements and crawl spaces. It goes through amazingly easily. 
Everyone who has tried mine has been totally blown away… probably about 8 
professionals and contractors.

Thanks,
Kienan

Hi all,

I am going to try out the Nuance OSPREY PowerRack as a ground mount option that 
does not require an excavator. I am wondering two things about it:

1. Does anyone have experience with this, and do you like it?

2. What drill do you use for the drive rod?
It seems like the Milwaukee 2" SDS max drill is the standard - 
https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/5342-21
I am wondering if it is possible to use a cordless drill though. DeWalt makes 
both a cordless and corded version that claim to have the same impact energy as 
each other, although both are less than the Milwaukee Drill. Milwaukee has 19.9 
ft-lbs of energy and the DeWalt ones have 19.4 Joules, which is 14.3 ft-lbs of 
energy.
Cordless Kit - 
https://www.dewalt.com/product/dch773y2/60v-max-2-brushless-cordless-sds-max-combination-rotary-hammer-kit
Corded Kit - https://www.dewalt.com/product/d25773k/2-sds-max-rotary-hammer

The cordless drill is tempting because I already have a bunch of DeWalt 
equipment, and it would be nice to avoid needing a generator or some very long 
extension cords.

Thanks!
-Dave

That voltage I gave was assuming a 48-volt system...  Of course, this
voltage is lower on a 12-volt battery...

Re: [RE-wrenches] SOK Batteries

[Steve Higgins via RE-wrenches]

Some of these BMSs are not very tolerant of heavy loads...   the heavier
load may have triggered the BMS to shut down and go into self-protect mode.
It can take a few hours to days for voltage to recover. Isolate the battery
from the parallel connections and give a few days of no load time to
recover and reset.

After that, use a regulated power supply and connect it to the battery to
charge. You only need a slight current, usually less than ten amps.   Set
the power supply up at the base voltage 54 to 56 volts.

Last, supplying charge voltage on and off several times can wake up the
BMS, but again, I would only try this with a regulated power supply.

The bad news is they may have killed the BMS... once you do that, it's a
hard sell for most manufacturers to cover under warranty.

Good Luck...

[RE-wrenches] SOK Batteries

[Kristopher Schmid via RE-wrenches]

Hello brain trust,

Anyone have experience with SOK lithiums?  Here's my issue.  Client has a
tiny home and bought their system online (I know, run away...).  Whenever
they start a larger load (power tool, hair dryer) it pulls too much current
and causes the BMS to shut down the battery output.  Not necessarily a huge
issue, but I cannot get the app (ABC-BMS) to reset the batteries.  I log in
with the password and it gives me the reset option, but it will not allow
me to click OK.  Hooking up an external battery charger has been my only
successful reset solution.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kris

Re: [RE-wrenches] Well pump with Sol-Ark

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar via RE-wrenches]

The Franklin with capacitor Jbox at top of well helps with the surge. It 
is not what you would call soft start!


An ammeter (or a loud generator) on a soft start pump will tell you what 
you have. A nice slow over 10 seconds ramping up of amps or gen noise 
when the pump is energized. You won't get this with a Franklin and Jbox.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Well pump with Sol-Ark

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar via RE-wrenches]

Look at a variable speed pump from Grundfos. Not as many choices for 
large pumping apps.


The SQ Flex pump is basically a VFD when used with the controller. It 
can direct run from solar which tells
you there is no surge. Even the SQ pump without the controller will soft 
start and should work with

any inverter built for offgrid.

I'm looking for opinions

for the largest 240V submersible well pump the Sol-Ark 12KW inverter 
can

start/run.  Assume 500 watt load prior to starting the pump, static
level of water in well is 75 feet, system psi when it starts is 40.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Well pump with Sol-Ark

[William Bryce via RE-wrenches]

For high surge and unbalanced splitphase loads, you can’t beat a Midnite
Solar Rosie Inverter.  It uses Sic FET’s and is rock solid. I have an early
unit and it’s starts my 5hp compressor and still runs other loads without a
flicker.

Runs loads that even my Schneider XW+ would not.  Why complicate the
installs with a VFD? Just install an inverter that can do what you need it
to do?

Re: [RE-wrenches] Well pump with Sol-Ark

[frenergy via RE-wrenches]

Interesting the variation in experiences. Most of my jobs are off-grid 
these days which almost always means a (reliable) well pump need.  I'd 
entertain the idea of 3-phase with VFD but that's quite a bit more  
initial expense for this customer and possible higher long term costs 
with the VFD equipment?  Once again, the value of being transformer 
based (unlike the Sol-Ark) for surge.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Well pump with Sol-Ark

[Glenn Burt via RE-wrenches]

Based on the youtube video of the Sol Ark vs Schneider, I would never promise a 
customer it would reliably start up a motor load...-GlennSent from my 
'smart'phone, so please excuse typos and spelling errors.-- Original 
message--From: frenergy via RE-wrenchesDate: Wed, Oct 11, 2023 10:11 AMTo: 
Chris Sparadeo via RE-wrenches;Cc: frenergy;Subject:[RE-wrenches] Well pump 
with Sol-ArkI'm looking for opinions and/or real world experience on 
recommendation 
for the largest 240V submersible well pump the Sol-Ark 12KW inverter can 
start/run.  Assume 500 watt load prior to starting the pump, static 
level of water in well is 75 feet, system psi when it starts is 40.

Thanks,

Re: [RE-wrenches] Well pump with Sol-Ark

[Jay via RE-wrenches]

I’d look at a 3 phase pump with vfd/soft start control and eliminate the start 
surge.
