According to the manufacturer, some amount of bulging is normal on larger batteries. https://discoverbattery.com/component/content/article/191-why-do-some-agm-or-gel-batteries-bulge-or-appear-sucked-in The shunt is is reporting a mid-point deviation of 0.10% which is unchanged from before the...

Yeah, I did a bunch of searching and couldn't figure out whether it was normal or not. Both the shunt and the inverter reported the battery at 100% within a couple of hours even when it was pulling 2000W for charging. The room with the setup got incredibly warm and the batteries bulged a bit. I...

It took a few days, but it did slowly go back to normal.

I have a Growatt DVM12000T with 8 Discover EVL16A-A 6V batteries in a 48V configuration. There is no solar input, as I am only using it for backup. Over the weekend I experienced 3 outages. The first 2 were only relatively short but the 3rd was a bit longer, and I plugged in a generator when...

Oh I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I use the 14-50 output of the generator connected into the house via a CS6364 so I have full split-phase and can run the charger on 240V. Presumably I can get 2 chargers and current share them, but I think I will try to simply load-shed if I have to run the...

I have a 12kW Growatt split-phase inverter (SPF-12000T-DVM) powered by 8 6V 390AH batteries (Discover Energy EVL16A-A). I have it set up specifically for backup power so I am not using the solar input. I have solar, but it's connected on the grid side. I have a 100A critical loads panel on the...
