Just finishing up 8 years with my Watchmon and have reached168 longmons. I know mons are not the recommended approach these days but my point is Batrium ‘overall’. Just fantastic that I chose Batrium 8 years ago and it’s worked really well for me and wanted to do this shoutout. It’s been particularly helpful that the system has remained compatible year after year as I’ve expanded my home powerwall almost every year for the last 8 years. Have achieved 162kwh.
I also have a 5yr old Watchmon 5? with 28 longmons in my camp trailer for 27kwh. Has survived 30,000miles / 48,000 kilometers and a lot of rough roads!
Always good to see our systems approaching a decade in the wild! Especially a mobile system, I would definitely attribute some of those km to a centralised design in the WM5 (and likewise the K9) - fewer connectors means fewer things to go wrong.
Always here if you need any tech help in the future, but we’ll be crossing fingers it just keeps ticking
Not in that massive extension here, only 4 years with WatchMonCore, CellMate-K9s and 40kWh. It is not only the compatibility for me but also the constant improvement of Batrium year over year. Dynamic Voltage Targets are a big improvement for home energy storage systems including improved Victron Energy integration. The system keeps running day after day, Batrium does its job, only the LFP cells start to age now.
Not to mention our paragliding winch, which is running for half a year without any problems with a LFP block managed by Batrium. This is a great win for our club not to be depending on fossil fuels anymore: https://schleppgemeinschaft.de/
Please keep improving Batrium! I am looking forward for SX1 to improve functionality of my battery blocks.
Same here! Two K9 systems running in production for 5 yr where only the balacing becomes a challenge due to the use of four different cell-types. Oldest boxes are now equiped with a Neey to speed balancing up a bit.
