Is there a source for the trolley?

Thanks, R.

Sorry locally custom built.The pic show n is not the completed trolley I will post the updated one.

Once you have some fabrication skills it can be done take some time and effort though.
Dang I should have completed a CAD drawing.

I didn't relise it would have came out that good
1.5kw on Midnite classic 150(whizbang jr.) networked 0.660kw on classic lite 200 wbjr ,180ah CALB Lifepo4 48v battery bank,jkbms 150amps bms(top balanced) Outback vfx3648.
Soon to be added Sol Ark 8k with 5Dyness Bx51000 ,7.8kw pv

So another update guys,
One pack in the set of four power flow batteries gave a fault for serval times on Monday.
What was weirder is that every time it went to fault the entire system was shut off without warning or any code on mngp2 .
I was not pleased with either of these .
I tried getting help from tech support but they seemed Clueless as I was.
So I isolated the one alarming pack and found everything was fine beside this pack .
I operated in this manner for two days
So the only option was to check for firmware updates .
Only updates that were available were mngp2 and solar assistant ( I don't recall if I mentioned but system is now being monitored through solar assistant)
So far this seems to be the solving the issue but the whole system shutdown and no fault code reporting is getting me uneasy.

Personally I would switch to open loop and run on voltage without any of the bms errors causing outages nonsense.

One reason someone had requested the ability to have battery comms to grab cell level data yet still run open loop based on voltage.

Yea , unfortunately owner wants the bit of autonomy.
Had another brief shut down .
At this point I can't tell where it's coming from.
I am still suspecting the one power Flo battery.

Tech support has been really unhelpful. We were given another tech support number and  told to talk to Ron or Rick . They seem to be the powerflo guys.
Hope Midnite figure this out .
