Thanks for pointing that out, I’m currently thinking of the best way to manage the system while I’m away to use least amount of battery , all while trying to keep the batteries from falling asleep.. I’m sure I can come up with a simple solution after brainstorming for a day or two.

So to try and clean up my thread…. I originally started this thread with 1 router and 1 modem tied to my multi. This setup pulled around .5 amps. Now I have 1 router , 1 modem, 1 light and 1 floor fan running. This setup pulls around 1.2 Amps and should hopefully keep the batteries awake while...

I’m now running with a fan and light to try and stay above the limits Dexter mentioned. Originally I was running well below these limits with just the modem and router. I added the light and fan to try and keep the batteries from going to sleep. With just internet running in the beginning it...

I have a generator I can run to recharge the batteries currently. I will get the solar panels installed within the next month and that should keep up with usage at the cabin and in the event they don’t I’ll let the generator back them up. Currently I’m waiting on a contractor to finish a room...

This is with modem, router, one ceiling light and a high speed floor fan running. SOC might not be correct since I haven’t charged batteries after the last shutdown and me placing them back inline together.

With my victron 5k multi plus and our internet running i believe it was drawing 14 watts continuous. I will see around 21 watts once in awhile but that’s not the norm with it just running our modem and router. This is measured on my Lynx shunt so should be pretty accurate.

No my wife is the only one who can mess with computer stuff and she is out of the country at the moment but hopefully early next week. I did put screen shots of what the BMS is reporting for each cell.

There is no blinking and I have to push the reset to get the system to turn back on. Now that I have seen it do it with each battery running the system by themselves, I can confirm it’s not one battery or the other. The way I can describe it is when you start the batteries from scratch, this...

I was at the cabin today and the other battery shut off on us. So the internet and modem pulling around 15 watts isn’t enough to keep the batteries awake it seems. So now I need to find at what power draw will the batteries stay awake since these will be left for 8 months out of the year in an...

Not yet. My wife is planning to go up to our place this weekend, so hopefully will be able to get the info then.

So system is running fine on one battery, not sure how to fix the other battery or why it cause the system to shut down when I put it in paralle. I guess I will give it a few more days on one battery and if system continues to run without the battery shutting off that will narrow it down to...

Neither battery has been charged since being installed at cabin. We did pull #1 out of the system after it shut down on its own yesterday again, and we are now running on #2 to see if it will run without shutting down. This would hopefully narrow down if one battery is causing. Obviously it...

#2

Number Uno

They are running internet at the cabin and that’s it while nobody is around. I’ll get the numbers when it happens again on both. I have to physically restart the batteries when this occurs and yesterday one LED light was on, on the primary battery but it had no function till I forced the BMS to...

@HighTechLab If you have time next week can you maybe see if you have any ideas why the batteries are doing this. Thanks again.

So I called current connected and spoke with one of their techs Monday, he didn’t really have any ideas but wanted access to my victron system so I gave it to him, I’ve now waited a few days and no update on what they think is causing this issue. I had to install the system at our cabin and it...

I had issues when running closed loop and the BMS wasn’t allowing the batteries to receive more than 56 volts. CC said to run them open loop and this fixed that issue. Now they charge all the way to 57.6 without issue, but this shutting off is new. I tried putting the com cables back on and now...

I have two 48v SOK batteries in parallel, they have started shutting down for no reason. SOC is around 96% and they just turned off for no reason. This started about four days ago and I was thinking they were sitting to close to my AC vent , but it just happened and it’s 80 F In The house and...

Sure look like pool noodles cut up and re purposed.

Simple goggle search my friend.

Exactly, and our government has heavily subsidized Tesla. There would be no Tesla without California subsidies and Federal subsidies. I honestly see no difference between them and the car makers from China, let the market decide who survives and who dies. Our government loves to give handouts...

The industry will just move products to other locations for shipping. BYD is already discussing building in Mexico to avoid US tariffs. What happened to the good old US of A and free markets ….. Let companies fail if they can’t compete, it’s really that simple. I’m all for letting BYD sell...

Grundfos well pumps are the way to go or run a soft start on the current pump. For the solar system you will need to provide more info before folks can give you ideas. Whats your power usage look like at the cabin ? One thing I will suggest upfront is try and go 48v from the start, it will...

Thanks guys, I searched for this info all over this morning and couldn’t find it. All I could find is how to size the breaker by times 1.56 ….and so on.

Ok I have a breaker question. I have 15amp 300VDC midnight breaker for my solar string. I can’t seem to figure out if I add up VOC to get the volts I need to stay under or do I add up VMPP and stay under that ? My VMPP comes out to 276.8 VDC and my VOC comes out to 328 VDC. So if I go off...

knowing me I’m probably messing something simple up

I don’t see any settings I can change . Here is a picture of what it shows

The system is still on my wife’s dining room table, this is my last item I need to get functional before I load it all up in the snow cat next week and head out to the cabin for install.

Ok I have another question. I hooked up my 450-100 MPPT today to my system/ Cerbo / multi plus . I have not hooked up my solar panels yet so maybe this is my issue, or maybe I don’t have an issue and it’s just me not understanding how this works. So the MPPT screen is on, button is turned on...

Picked up a pallet (31) of 365 Bifacial’s shipped for under 2k last month. Not saying this is a bad deal, but there are definitely better out there. Inxeption is where I got them thanks to other forum members who pointed out the deal.

So what are you asking for it ? Price wise

This appears to be a data sheet on them. https://www.bestconverter.com/assets/images/ips/fuseblockmanual.pdf

Thanks for taking the time to explain this.

I can get it to around 99% before OVP triggers with it plugged in to the Cerbo, with it unplugged it gets to 100% but when it’s unplugged it charges with way higher Voltage and if I understand what Sunshine Eggo is saying it’s best I just charge with the Cerbo on so I can control the Voltage...
