    Hi Alkaline.I hope you dont mind but I took the liberty to read a bunch of your comments and discussions on the DIY forum.Iam sure you realize this is not a discussion about people buying cells from alibaba and what AH did they get out of this cell or that cell and what AH did they get out the...
  • Post in thread: Deye Hybrid Split-Phase Inverters - Discontinued in favor of SOL-ARK

    Hi everyone I would like to point out some things from some earlier threads about SOL ARK and DEYE.DEYE opened its doors before SOL ARK DEYE built its inverters before SOL ARK.DEYE makes SOL ARK inverters just like Whirlpool makes Kenmore washers and dryers Now that SOL ARK has got so big They...
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    Hi unfortunately my advice for a new 98AH battery is to return it immediately. like hightechlab says they are typically 106AH and your battery and mine probably have a bunch of 106AH(approximately) cells in them they are just not working together as a team to give a total capacity of 106AH...
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    Its funny I ask if anyone is having a problem with a SOK 48V100 battery losing AH and people get off topic sir I did not ask for peoples tech support really Iam finished with this thread as well your supplier is responsible for your tech not us
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    Hi Iam either setting my DEYE inverter to charge voltage 57.6V and float voltage to 55.2V like SOK tells you to in the manual or Iam communicating battery to inverter which then the BMS tells the inverter to do that anyway..I will setup my laptop and see what is going on in the PC software.I do...

    and you are the guy who said "When that cell reaches 3.650 the BMS cuts off charge until it hits the recovery voltage,"
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    Hi you need to watch your problematic battery charge up.Yes it takes time and its a thankless job.Like HighTechLab says you need to charge up to 57.6V but no was paying attention when I said my battery discharges itself down to 54V with no load ie I never get a fully charged battery at 57.6V...
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    If you found what I just said confusing look at it this way IF I was to do a capacity test now My battery would start the test at 53.8V and discharge down to 45V or whatever the cutoff voltage is.NOT A PRETTY SIGHT and NOT A GOOD BATTERY
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    I refer you once again to the picture but i will spell out for you what you failed to notice or make the connection if the BMS cuts off charging at 3650mV then how did cell #3 get to 3700mV this is what we call an "observation' .I appreciate you trying to help,but I asked what capacity you lost...
  • Post in thread: ❓ TDT-BMS Wanted Feedback/Experience

    And if you drain your battery to say 0% in my case since I guessed too high 315AH is dreaming you will still have some AH left in the tank but the battery is empty so say you still have 5AH (5000mAH) then 315-5=310AH and you could plug 310 for Full Capacity and 0 for Remain Capacity click W then...
  • Post in thread: ❓ TDT-BMS Wanted Feedback/Experience

    The BL threshold is when the balancer turns on so in your example any cell over 3400mV the balance function for that cell will be open.BL delta cell is the deviation or difference between cells which in your example is set at 30mV.The balancer will work to get all the cells within 30mV of each...
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    The battery was replaced by the seller.Thank you very much
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    This is for Steve-S well since you did not ask I watched it charge up and I did not time it but it was a significant amount of time to go from 3650 to 3700mV like minutes which is very many multiples of milliseconds,and this all happened while the BMS was not supposed to be charging according...
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    I would like people who own a SOK 48v100 server rack battery to check their FCC and compare it to the capacity stated on the quality control sheet that came with the battery brand new.Is it still the same or are you losing capacity and how many cycles are on it.Thank you very much
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    I have been reassured by the supplier that SOK is working on this and Iam sure that I will be fully compensated for this battery.After all this is good business for SOK to show that they back their warranty and that this only happens to a small % of their total output,kind of like once in a...
  • Post in thread: ❓ TDT-BMS Wanted Feedback/Experience

    There is in the parameters a spot where you have Design Capacity,Full Capacity,Remain Capacity.Fully charge your battery dont worry about whether you charge to 3500mV or 3650mv just pick a mV,hopefully all you cells are decently balanced.When fully charged, Full Capacity is equal to Remain...
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    Thanks I thought that might be the case but did not remember from when I last looked at the parameters and do not have my laptop connected to check actually I had taken a picture of the parameters for the warranty people and yes cell over voltage protect is 3.70V.This is why the battery still...
  • Post in thread: Deye Hybrid Split-Phase Inverters - Discontinued in favor of SOL-ARK

    Hi I have 2 Deye 8KW I bought from china they are UL listed and they are also cSGSus which is the certification Sol Ark has I live in Canada and these inverters are state of the art.Thanks
  • Post in thread: Deye Hybrid Split-Phase Inverters - Discontinued in favor of SOL-ARK

    I bought the last 2 they had,Deye is the manufacturer of Sol Ark not GLS.I think GLS just puts their sticker on stuff.I would like to point you out to Megarevo Hybrid US 10kw its very similar to DEYE they also have 8KW and 5KW and even 7.6KW like DEYE it is sold by Eitai(Xiamen) New Energy...
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    Nice response.I dont like discharging my batteries more than 50% maybe 60% because as you know they will last longer.I also included a picture in this discussion of my battery charging up and Iam sure (I hope) you looked at it and can clearly(ok its a crappy picture but then I have to do this...
  • Post in thread: Deye Hybrid Split-Phase Inverters - Discontinued in favor of SOL-ARK

    I See GSL also has GSL labled inverter like the megarevo I mentioned but the megarevo is cheaper.Also you should pay attention to shipping costs because some ship much cheaper than others
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    Oh and since you helped design it its time you gave a real hard look at your BMS parameters and change them start with 56V and 3500mv per cell max thats where you slam on the breaks your settings leave us slamming on the breaks when its toooooooo laaaaate and now my battery which I payed 3070...
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    Then why do the manufacturers who dont know as much as you state that you get more cycles out of them depending on depth of discharge.Iam now starting to believe that none of the people reading this discussion are reading it and it says at the top the page FORUM MEMBERS PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC...
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    I never charge my batteries at 100A so dont assume I do .IN fact I like to keep it around 20A and IN the picture I posted it does not show it but it was at 5A and what would call this battery sir.HERE let me give you an analogy YOU buy a new car and theres a problem guess what buddy fix your...
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    I have a SOK 48V100 battery with 200 cycles on it that has lost 3.5AH capacity.I noticed it was losing capacity at about 150cycles.I noticed that the battery does not balance properly.It tries to balance itself at the upper voltage like between 57 to 57.6 volts but then it reaches 100% capacity...

    SIR I am not using capital letters to argue Iam using to magnify the situation or point
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    Hi Thanks for your reply.Have you watched the battery charge up on a PC.I have determined on my battery like starting from the picture I posted and then after charging stops that my battery discharges down to about 53.8V because the BMS is in protect mode and discharges until the voltage...
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    Thank you I do know I can disconnect the communication cable between battery and inverter and all my inverters allow me to control the charging voltage so yes Iam in control from that perspective.Almost evryone here except Dexter from Current Connected and maybe 1 or 2 others missed the...
  • Post in thread: Deye Hybrid Split-Phase Inverters - Discontinued in favor of SOL-ARK

    The Huayu has a 10 year warranty which is double the 5 from DEYE.It is fan cooled.I dont think the GSL are deye some of them are,but for Europe only look closely at the Fan setup they are different than the DEYE,.they are the same as megarevo.Honestly the megarevo is basically a DEYE copy with...
  • Post in thread: SOK 48V100 losing AH capacity

    Thank you I believe I can build a better battery with the 280AH box with wheels and 280AH or 302AH eve cells for less than what I payed for this SOK 48V100.Not only that but I get to program the BMS parameters and have almost 3 times the capacity
