I just wanted to let anyone else know that I first saw the Rec2Q BMS when I was first thinking about solar and since then I have tried many others trying to save a few dollars and I can say from my experience that once I saw first hand how a BMS actually has to do it's job that I stood no chance with what I was purchasing and if I would have followed my gut I would have been where I am now much sooner and the price of the other stuff I bought in between actually purchasing the Rec2Q l could have paid for the unit.. because it actually works right out of the box..l have 20 330w panels and 2 solar charge controllers and a10000w inverter with right now16 280 ah eve lfp cells and other than being a dummy as far as figuring out the WiFi absolutely no problems.. and after many days and nights of no sleep and constantly trying to speak different languages and time differences with the latter l am really impressed with my Rec BMS just the quality of the wiring alone at first feel let me know that I could have burnt everything l have worked for down if the others would have worked at all.. there was no way what I was purchasing before my Rec BMS unit would have done what it is.. Thank you guys for everything..
Hey Kenneth,
Thanks so much for the great review!! If you don't mind sharing, please send us some pics of your installation.

I must just comment on the level of support I have received since buying the WS500 4 years ago. Well in truth it’s been simply amazing as I am not a professional I have had to ask many basic questions and the patience and simple explanations I have received have seen me through some complex processes that I could not have completed had I not received such guidance. I have also received guidance as to what I did need contrary to what I thought I might need. I have nothing but good to say as many companies just cut and run once they have received your money but OGM walks with you until you reach your objective.
Off Grid and Marine Energy had a very nice sale on the Tyco 500A contactor for use with our REC BMS on our large LiFePO4 house bank - it will be perfect for our setup.
Great communication, prices and support. If OGME has what I need, I’ll definitely be buying it from them again!
Thanks so much Tony!
I actually priced out the Mate-N-Lok connector housings and the required number of crimp terminals from Digikey, and this kit is cheaper! Not to mention saving you the time and hassle of picking out each part number individually. Very convenient when you're going to make up your own cell connector, CAN bus, or other plug!
Great feedback for other users, thanks so mch!

Rick was wonderful setting me up with parts for a project for a film studio. He was able to provide quick advice for a part that wasn’t functioning as expected and recommended a replacement part quickly. I’m happy they are carrying the REC BMS and have them in stock! It’s a very solid system that’s easy to interface with!

Thanks for your kind words! I am glad we were able to help get you fixed up and running.
Fair prices for what I needed and easy to make sure I got all the accessories I needed due to the format of the product page.
Response from Off Grid & Marine Energy Systems
Thanks Brian, we are working now to make it easier to find the right product for your application.
OGSS was there to answer all of my pre-order questions and their communication response time is top notch. Great people to work with and I’ll be ordering from them again in the future.

Thanks Matt!
I purchased the rec-wifi on the advice of and the REC website. I could not log into the wifi unit referencing the product manual. I found many individuals were having the same problem through a web search. In the end, I purchased the pc software which allowed for me to change the parameters associated with my specific system. My understanding is that one cannot do what with the wifi system. The touch pad also just displays information, it does not allow one to alter the bms parameters.
Response from Off Grid & Marine Energy Systems
Hi Tom, sorry you had issues with the WiFi module. Early versions did have some issues but not recently and your situation seemed unusual. Hopefully Tine at REC was able to get your WiFi working for you in the end. The WiFi module, when working, will actually provide all needed functionality but you are correct, the LCD screen is for viewing only.
Had to clarify a few things before we placed the order, Rick was very responsive and helpful. Will definitely buy again in the future.
Response from Off Grid & Marine Energy Systems
Thanks and glad we could help. After a few hiccups our new warehouse and shipping team is really coming together!
Five stars all the way. Rick was very helpful throughout the process, and I’m already telling people to get their gear from him and OGSS. You can’t go wrong!
Response from Off Grid & Marine Energy Systems
Thanks for the kind words! Glad we got you sorted and thanks for your testing and feedback!
Recently purchased wakespeed alternator and was impressed with the prompt service and order fulfillment. The unit was well packaged and using USPS for delivery here in Western Canada saved me the typical huge customs brokerage fees that ups and fedex charge.
Purchased REC 16s BMS from Off Grid Marine Energy systems and did not purchase the current sensor wiring harness, I emailed asking if it was meant to be included and they threw it in for free. When I had questions about shipment they were answered in a timely and polite manner.
Trying to get an SMA SI to talk with a BMS has been a Challenge. Rick was a great help in getting me there.
Outstanding fast service – in answering questions as well as in shipping to Europe – very impressive indeed!
Rick gave us just the best possible service while setting up our LiFePO4 system with the WS500.
Thank you
F.
Recommended seller. Great pre AND POST sales service. Thank you Rick and everybody on your team. Cheers Chris
I am on a cruising boat currently in Aruba, and hoped to upgrade our charging system here due to favourable customs duties on imports. My purchase went awry when Defender.com informed me they couldn’t deliver the alternator I ordered. I couldn’t find a replacement at this time so I had to cancel my order for a WS500 from Off Grid (I had placed the order right after ordering the alternator). Rick was very helpful in trying to find another source for the alternator, and providing information on what I would need to install it. When the only option turned out to be a size up in amperage (that I couldn’t use) and $$$ I balked. Rick refunded my money without hesitation. I will eventually get a WS500 from Off Grid, when Balmar restocks and when I know where I will be in a months time.

Thanks for your kind words Robin, I am just sorry we couldn’t pull it together for you. We will keep a watch out for availability and hopefully we will get you fixed up in a few months.
A big shout out for Rick Bell of offgridsoftwaresolutions.com
His knowledge and patience helping a novice install and commission a Wake Speed WS500 after a lightening strike wiped out the old charging system (alternators, Balmars, wiring the lot) has been refreshing in this day and age.
I am very grateful to him (especially during this Covid-19 shutdown)and the other technicians from offgridsoftwaresolutions for helping me problem solve a charging issue caused by a declined magnetic core.
A simple fix if you know what you are doing but I clearly don’t so very frustrating for him but thank you from me.
Response from Off Grid & Marine Energy Systems
Richard, we are just glad you got everything working. It can be hard to remotely troubleshoot, but your detailed testing and pictures really helped the process!
I’ve used the WS500 Configuration tool to setup my dual WS-500 regulators and to tune and monitor things the first few months. I love being able to see the alternator temperature along with the output all on a graph. This software also helps a ton in configuring the WS-500 which has a wealth of options, but can be overwhelming to configure at the command line. The WS500 Configuration software makes that much easier. You can read all about it in my full review at https://seabits.com/wakespeed-ws-500-regulator-review/

Steve, thanks for your support and the detailed review in SeaBits. This should help others make an informed decision!
