  • Post in thread: 15s (48v) and a 16s (51.2v) battery in parallel!!???!?!?!

    Thanks, I think I will probably do one or the other... but if I do it, I will set my camera up, and maybe I can get you a real life picture to use in place of your avatar. Lol
  • Post in thread: 15s (48v) and a 16s (51.2v) battery in parallel!!???!?!?!

    Thanks for your info. I am actually looking for info that contradicts my idea and also trying to learn more from this. I appreciate your thoughts, very informative.
  • Post in thread: Megarevo RxLNA Discussion

    I'm fighting the same problem. As of now, all I can do is adjust the charge current to match the sun, but this obviously means on cloudy days im charging from the grid. I am trying a few things and will ask MR today. Ill report back if I find a fix
  • Post in thread: Megarevo RxLNA Discussion

    Yes, I do a full reboot after upgrade (push rsd, pv off, battery off, grid off. reverse to boot up)
  • Post in thread: Got an idea on controlling discharge via CT on main breaker.

    So these are some of the questions I need to find answers for. As of now, I do not know if my inverter will speak plc. On the question of the inverter, In its peak shift mode, inverter discharge can be set for a specific current flow and time period. The discharge is exported via grid side...
  • Post in thread: Lux Power 12k. Generator test with no grid. UPS clicking??!!??

    So, I have been testing my Lux Power set up. I have noticed when I kill my grid and simulate a grid loss situation, my generator starts up and transfers to supply loads and charges the battery. The problem I have is that I get a "blink" in my lights, which I thought wasn't supposed to happen...

    Does anyone have an issue after firmware upgrade. It seams like every time I do an upgrade to these, pv production stops almost completely, middle of day, full sun. wondering if anyone else has these problems, or possible solutions? Thanks
  • Post in thread: Megarevo RxLNA Discussion

    I shut down pv, and battery, then do upgrade with only grid connect. My PV drops out then bounces very low over the next few hours/days
  • Post in thread: Megarevo RxLNA Discussion

    and, of course, turn pv and battery back on.

    Very good info! Thank you.
  • Post in thread: Megarevo RxLNA Discussion

    yes
  • Post in thread: Megarevo RxLNA Discussion

    I have 2 inverters (not in parallel), both are acting the same after upgrade. I believe this has happened on earlier projects, I believe it took several days to get going properly. I'm guessing you haven't had anything similar happen?
  • Post in thread: Got an idea on controlling discharge via CT on main breaker.

    Hey, I am wanting to use a CT hooked up to my main breaker, to essentially tell my inverter (with batteries) how much to discharge. My inverter is a megarevo 8k hybrid. I plan to discharge through my grid feed, to avoid having to modify existing electrical system. I am interested to hear any...
  • Post in thread: Need help sourcing a 3.65v low amp (preferable 3A or less) LFP charger

    Hello, I am currently attempting to condition/repair some prismatic cells inside a 200aH 51.2V rack mount battery. These cells are 3.2V 100Ah cells I believe (32 cells 16s2p). I am looking for recommendations for a charger that could charge them slowly at <.5c (<100A). I have looked around on...

    I am trying to understand top balancing better. I know protocol may vary from person to person but how do you prefer to top balance?
  • Post in thread: Got an idea on controlling discharge via CT on main breaker.

    The plan is to use some sort of plc to interpret the ct data and direct it to the inverter.
  • Post in thread: Got an idea on controlling discharge via CT on main breaker.

    Yes, CT to be attached to main panel feed. I plan to use CTs (in a binary sense) to read, then communicate load to the inverter (telling it what to discharge). Not exactly sure how this communication will work. I have been researching PLCs and talking to people who know a lot more than I do...
  • Post in thread: Got an idea on controlling discharge via CT on main breaker.

    The MR manual I have doesn't do a lot of explaining of anything lol.
  • Post in thread: Anyone tried the Lux 12k in parallel?

    I am wanting to parallel 2, possibly even 3 Lux Power LXP-LB US 12K units. Was wondering if anyone has setup the parallel function on these inverters. I would assume some firmware may need updated. My firmware version is fA1.0. I appreciate everyone's knowledge and expertise. Thank you!
  • Post in thread: Adding 15s 48v battery in parallel with existing 16s batteries

    Hey, Did you get this mismatched battery system running? I am thinking of doing the exact same thing and was wondering how it turned out? Any additional info would be appreciated Thanks
  • Post in thread: 15s (48v) and a 16s (51.2v) battery in parallel!!???!?!?!

    I am currently running several Lux Power 12ks in parallel. I am currently using 15s batteries (48 nominal voltage). I am wondering what the negative impact would be if I were to add 16s batteries (51.2 nominal voltage) to this setup. I don't believe these batteries would communicate with each...
