[RE-wrenches] Magnum

Anybody know what’s up with Magnum Energy/ Sensata? I’ve been trying to get on their website both through direct magnumenergy.com links and through Sensata and there is no Magnum Energy website any more. Did I miss something here…? Hope not. The data site is still up but all the other links just

Putting a battery that generates massive amounts of hydrogen into a boat seems like a really bad idea to me. Jay Peltz Power > On Jul 10, 2018, at 2:34 PM, Hilton Dier wrote: > > Thanks for all the responses. The people on this list are gold standard. I’ll > look into the various monito

Re: [RE-wrenches] UL/CSA listed battery monitor?

I have one question also. Do you have the Nicad data to enter into a typical shunt based monitor to calibrate it? Without loading the 5 or 6 parameters a quality battery monitor needs, it really is not going to be that accurate. It is so nice to have the data from a BMS and no shunt required. Very

Thanks for all the responses. The people on this list are gold standard. I’ll look into the various monitors. The batteries are SAFT (now Alcatel) STM-140 flooded NiCads. I don’t know where these people got them, but they were surplus of some sort. They have tested them and culled a few bad one

Hey Gary, Ohio Fire Code does cover this. It’s a matter of if the Fire marshal in you project area wants to waive or alter the requirements. http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/1301:7-7-06v1 Specifically 605.11.1.2 is for residential buildings. There is some conflict in terms of Hip roofs in t

Re: [RE-wrenches] UL/CSA listed battery monitor?

This is probably a dumb question, but is the NiCad battery UL listed?  Most batteries are not. Ray Walters Remote Solar 303 505-8760 On 7/10/18 2:19 PM, b...@midnitesolar.com wrote: I don't know of any listed battery monitors.  Not sure what spec they would be tested to ? However... In Ca

Re: [RE-wrenches] UL/CSA listed battery monitor?

I don't know of any listed battery monitors.  Not sure what spec they would be tested to ? However... In Canada, I have heard of systems being individually blessed by inspectors or whoever that include products that don't have listings but everything in the system had to have a listing. I

Re: [RE-wrenches] UL/CSA listed battery monitor?

Just to clarify, MidNite has two (2) battery monitors  Sort of... The  MNBCM that Tom referred to is a shunt-less voltage monitor that lets you know when the battery has not received an Absorb charge cycle for 1 week and 2 weeks.  It also has somewhat of a voltage meter.  It is purely base

Re: [RE-wrenches] UL/CSA listed battery monitor?

The Midnite battery monitor requires a shunt, it piggybacks onto that shunt. Dan Fink Professor of Solar Energy Technology, Ecotech Institute IREC Certified Instructor™ for: ~ PV Installation Professional ~ Small Wind Installer Executive Director, Buckville Energy NABCEP Registered Continuing Educ

Re: [RE-wrenches] UL/CSA listed battery monitor?

Look at either the BlueSky IPM Pro Remote with shunt or the Schneider Battery monitor. The MidNite Battery monitor is more basic as it has no shunt Kind regards Tom Duffy Senior Solar Design Engineer [Solar-Biz-new-logo-800X300] Your 5-star rating really matters to us. Click to rate!
