Re: BB HSKY 48v and Renogy 500
What kind of controller do you have? Alot of newer controllers and items are blue tooth and needs to have a common hot wire to be "on" and blue tooth ready searching for a pair at all times. Ex. I can connect into my Navitas controller no matter if the key is on or off. Just a guess where your draw is coming from..

Re: BB HSKY 48v and Renogy 500
How long did it take to get your order shipped from Big Battery. I have tried 3 emails and 2 voicemail in the last 2 weeks. All have been unanswered/unreturned, I was checking on status but also had a technical question about the charger.
Just curious your experience with them |

It took about 2 weeks for them to "build" my pack and then another week for it to ship to me. It comes on a pallet freight, so depending on your area you might see a delay there too. I ordered when they only offered the hsky and bdgr kits. Looking at the site now I see they have added several new items and appear to be sold out of some stuff too. Could be supply shortages hurting them as well. I'm sure they are a small company, so I try to give them the benefit of some delays as growing pains. |

Re: BB HSKY 48v and Renogy 500
So I decided to upgrade to a 5 wire (switched) reducer to see if that would help since the old reducer was "always on". This one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086C32FK1...xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
Now I get 7watt draw with the key off and 10 watts with the key on? What am I doing wrong? or is this the expected behavior? If I unplug the regulator it drops to a 3 watt draw, which I assume is the Renogy? |

Re: BB HSKY 48v and Renogy 500
Stuff like this is why I order stuff from Site Sponsors; I can call or email them for answers and their products are typically competitively priced. I worry about "off brand" products on Amazon and such, as well as the fact that I cannot usually communicate with anyone.
That probably doesn't help the current situation, and I'm sorry. Take a look at the Site Sponsors if you have any additional items and give them a chance! |

So did you figure out what your draw was?

Re: BB HSKY 48v and Renogy 500
It's the 12v reducer. I sent back the 5 wire and reinstalled the little 4 wire Amazon one and hung a relay so that it only turns on with the ignition switch. It still pulls 3w but I'm pretty sure that is the monitor itself.

Re: BB HSKY 48v and Renogy 500
Just finished mine and you can see it draining with the blue 12v reducer you used. It's hooked up to switched power, but I put a meter on the switch side of the ign. switch, and it shows around 12v with key off. If I take the fuse out of the converter, or turn the switch from run to tow, it stops draining per the gauge. Did you need a special relay for 50+ volts or will any standard one do?
