I am just following this up to say that the new epever Bluetooth mini adapters do in fact work with the old Tracer-A series charge controllers and epever Solar Guardian app. (Configure the app as "Tracer-AN (10A-40A)" ) Not officially supported on the app description, but I can confirm it works!

Posted this in the general forum but didn't get much for replies: Hi there, I have an Epever Tracer A.... Not "AN", but "A". It's old but works and I don't want to replace it. (Apparently the only difference between the A and AN is that internally the A has a pos ground. Whatever.) For remote...

Got your message... Thanks anyway but ya I already have the WiFi one and it won't work remotely.

I have the wifi one so I can program it with that no problem... When I am beside it. It's just that one has fixed IPs so it's not able to be accessed remotely. I've tried and tried. No joy.

Hi there, I have an Epever Tracer A.... Not "AN", but "A". It's old but works and I don't want to replace it. (Apparently the only difference between the A and AN is that internally the A has a pos ground. Whatever.) For remote monitoring purposes, the easiest way for me is to use an old cell...

My Tracer 4210A series (not AN) doesn't work with the wifi box. So I blew money there too. FFS, you get what you pay for with epever. Like, wtf can't the old blue ebox work on lan without an 11.x IP. Simple right? Nope you need a new black wifi box... So I get that and you need to fuck around...

Did anyone get this working on their LAN with a different IP or what can I do to make it accessible with the app over lan? I think the app is harcoded to the 11.11.11.x up address. I bought the new black box and it doesn't work with my tracer 4210A (not AN) series.

In the end I ordered from Shenzhen Basen. Just had to wait longer but the batteries were perfect.

I've read a lot of @Steve_S posts on battery charging parameters, and reviewed the SoC charts etc. but something isn't clear to me. He says the working voltages that represent 95% of the batteries capacity is between 3.0v and 3.4v Should I take this to mean that I set my charging parameters up...

Does anyone know if the 4210A and 4210AN series have the same firmware? I have the "A" version and only difference I can find is pos ground vs neg ground. Are the firmwares the same and can I flash the the new AN version on mine?

Yes exactly. The proposed solution back in post 54 (https://diysolarforum.com/threads/my-jk-and-my-meat.36199/post-455804) was to run a jumper lead from the batt to the SCC to keep it alive in case the BMS dies. I was just trying to figure out how much time there would be there before it harmed...

All good and thanks for your reply. My question wasn't really to do with wanting longer run-time, it was more a question of how to plan if the battery ever runs out, no matter the starting capacity. But as I just mentioned above - it seems my assumptions are correct and I'll just test the...

No, nothing to do with Temperature - no need for low temp cutoff in Thailand! My battery had went into LV protection and shutoff discharge. Therefore the SCC couldn't see the battery anymore and shutdown. So when the sun came out the next day it wouldn't charge. Solution is to, ideally, cutoff...

Also @timselectric because you chimed in at the time :) Going back a bit here but I am preparing for my winter away back in Thailand. I have no need to replace my inverter as it works fine, and the relay system I hooked up in a rush is hokey. To recap - I want to keep my SCC alive if the BMS...

Oh I agree! I calculated the cycle life to last me 77 years for my use case - I am 47 so... Not concerned. LoL I've just seen so many people talk about maximizing their cycle life and think it's over the top sometimes so wanted to have some stats to put things into perspective.
