Arno, My Victron BMS reports cell level voltage down to 0.01v. I can view it via bluetooth and have seen it vary by 0.01v. I can attest that when I had an imbalance, up to 90% SOC, the cells had the

Hi Scott, Typically good BMS-es can measure at 0.01 resolution. So even at lower SOC you will be able to see differences. Charging up to 100% can be postponed longer with continuous balancing. Active

Hello, I am looking at replacing the engine mounts on my 2004 Yanmar 4JH3-HTE engine. The current Yanmar mounts, (on the fuel and oil filter side), are labeled 200 which I believe would mean they are

Doug, Thanks. The A-54 bow thruster controls went through several changes during the production of the 54. This is great information for some 54 owners. Thanks again! Bill

Doug. Very helpful. A great addition. Thank you Porter McRoberts S/V IBIS A54-152WhatsApp:+1 754 265 2206 Www.fouribis.net

I have spent the last couple of days trying to debug the side-power bow thruster on my boat, and the up/down 4 relay system. My motor for up/down had a bad bearing and was blowing a fuse. It appears

Does anyone understand "continuous cell balancing", because I don't? When I have had unbalanced batteries, the batteries are look perfectly balanced until you get to 90% + SOC. This is because of the

Thanks Bill, mine never had a cover. Great I am on the right track. Nick

Brilliant! Thank you Bill. These zoom meetings are incredibly valuable! Guillaume Carpathia III - SM2K #293 Now in Athens

Nick, Maybe I was not clear...I was talking about the forward-facing cover that you fabricated. I think all the 54's I have seen have a loose-fitting cover on the forward end...maybe yours was lost,

Hi Bill, So the GRP cover was always there. I took it off and bedded it back with silicone. The odd thing is that the front end was left open for spay to go straight in. I decided to glue on a pvc

Hello, Just had Flash battery Kaiken that does continuous cell balancing... but they don’t do batteries for yachts and private owners just for industrial companies. so that s out for

Nick, I thought all A-54s had a cover where you made one, but maybe it was later model 54s. I do have an issue about the cover I have seen on 54s and that is there is not a good seal around the

Hi Paul, This Best Lithium BMS still uses passive balancing and it does not say if it only does top-balancing. So from that perspective it's not a great BMS. Arno

hi Porter it does come off but lots of prying and force and lube. I still had to buy a new one as it could not be repaired in grenada. I believe in the south Pacific they are more creative so good

I recently serviced both main furling and outhaul gears and motors. I found the aluminium shaft on the furling motor very difficult to remove. It was soaked 48 hours in diesel and then pressed out
